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

We also welcome any feedback about these events. You can report your experience at verification@filmfestivallife.com

Austin is a great town and the festival staff are incredibly helpful and hospitable. The main issue is that the fest takes place during the busiest week of the year in Austin, when South by Southwest Music and Interactive conferences are going on. This makes accommodations expensive and the city less laid back than usual. It can also seriously distract you if you have any interest in the other events.
