An international film festival is a festival that features films from a diverse range of countries and cultures. These festivals typically showcase films from a variety of genres and styles, and can include everything from independent and experimental films to mainstream Hollywood productions. Some international film festivals have a specific focus, such as showcasing films from a particular region or films that deal with a specific theme or issue. The festivals often feature a competitive aspect and the films are screened before juries or audience who decide on awards, prize or recognition. Attending an international film festival can be a great way for audiences to see films from around the world and for filmmakers to connect with industry professionals and other filmmakers from different countries.
