To register your film to the festival, you need first to register it on fest21.com and join the new major Film Database of the joint sites, filmfestivals.com and fest21.com, the leading media covering film events worldwide. this will allow you to promote your film, to  submit your film directly to our partner festivals and more. Attached below is the detailed description of FestivalExpress.

1- Create your account on Fest21.com, this will create your own blog, simple, efficient  and free. 

2- Create your Film record

3- Publish information, news, images, film stills, video trailer...
Consider this as you main film blog, and use the RSS to publish on your other blogs.

- Submit your film to the festival with "FestivalExpress"

FestivalExpress is the fest21 one click festival submission tool. 

Once your film is registered, on the top left of the page click on "Browse 4,000 festivals"to see festival who are accepting film submission. Or click on "By Name" if you already know what festival you are looking for.

You can search by call of entry, festival date, country and submission fee. You have to choose yes at the field submission accepted. To begin the search click on submit.

Make sure you are logged to your Film account.

Select festival by clicking on title.

On the top right part, the submission application will display your registered film(s) and allow you to submit them. Just select the right Festival section and it is done!

As simple as that, a one click submission.

- Manage your film submissions

You can follow the status of your film submissions online at the "Submission status" tab of your Film information of your fest21.com profile. Please note that your film is considered submitted only when accepted by the festival.

To find your film record, on the left click on "My Blog"

Click on the title of your film record

Click on "Festival Submission Status"

Submitted films start with the status Submitted.

It is up to the festival to then "Accept" them by changing the film status. Once paid directly to the festival (or if the festival submission is free) the festival will change the status to "Payed". The filmmaker will be advised of the changes. Later on, once the festival selection is defined, the status change to "Selected" for the films the festival will program. Same for awards.

You will also receive an email for each submitted film and each status change.

New tools will be developped in the coming weeks and months to extend the FestivalExpress submission tools namely the printout of a complete film form.

After all this, search for Festivals, look for festivals accepting our FestivalsExpress submission system, make friends with other filmmakers, with festival organizers...

For more visibility, use our efficient promotion services as many films do.
