An overview of the history, organization, management, and purposes of film festivals, and their roles in launching films and filmmakers, facilitating industry dealmaking and networking, and nurturing cinema culture.

Students are required to research and complete two individual presentations: (1) Festival Presentation, examining a lesser-known film festival, and (2) Film Presentation, tracking the trajectory of a recent film that utilized festivals as a key part of its sales or release plan.
