Cowardice Is Killing The Spirit Of Modern Film Festivals

Your average film festival won’t screen “A Minecraft Movie,” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” or “Nobody 2.” And that’s a good thing.

Festivals give indie filmmakers a chance to shine in a crowded marketplace. They also shake up the theatrical experience by pushing audiences out of their comfort zone.

In short, prepare to be challenged. The best art does just that.
