Film Festivals (a great source of new docs)

[first last]

Look for films in upcoming festivals (usually not announced until fairly close to the date), as well as listings in past festivals. Note that these fests typically screen both documentary and dramatic films.
If you run across additional festivals, please let us know and we’ll add these. [And there are still many local Film Festivals to list.]  And please let us know about any dead links, and we’ll correct.
