FFL's Festival Validation
FFL feels responsible for only allowing legitimate and relevant festivals to accept submissions through our platform. Thus we verify the festival's legitimacy and relevance before pushing the call for submissions live. Some festivals are not being allowed to accept submissions at all. For festivals allowed to accept submissions FFL separates among:
VALIDATED FESTIVALS
These festivals fully comply with FFL's festival validation policy. There is no doubt that they are established and/or legitimate events.
NOT VALIDATED FESTIVALS
These festivals don't fully comply with FFL's festival validation policy but appear to be legitimate events. We will leave you to decide whether you should submit to this event or not. We also welcome any feedback about these events. You can report your experience at verification@filmfestivallife.com

Mission / description
In 2016, Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film enters its fourth year and expands from eight days to ten. We celebrate the finest action, animation, comedy, drama, fantasy, horror, thriller and… science fiction films from around the world. If it's good, we want to see it. For our fourth season, we also launch and incorporate the Buffalo Dreams Family Film Festival, featuring family entertainment and local films made by students under age 17. And our Original Screenplay competition will be judged by Roy Frumkes (STREET TRASH, THE SUBSTITUTE franchise, THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD).
We pride ourselves on being a truly international film festival, a filmmaker friendly event that focuses on the art of cinema and celebrates the wonder of the imagination. We'll let others woo you with hyperbole and sizzling descriptions; we stand on our record. In 2015, we screened 103 films: 23 features, 7 short features, 70 short films, and 3 music videos. We showed more regional and international films than any other festival in Western New York, and filmmakers attended from Mexico and Australia.
Our programming is divided into three divisions: North American (US and Canada), International (overseas and foreign language) and Western New York (locally produced films). Each year, our goal is to divide our programming as evenly as possible between these three divisions, but at the end of the day our first commitment is to show the best films possible.
