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
The Texas Film Festival was started in 1993 by A&M Film Society member Paul Alvarado-Dykstra with a mission to “celebrate the vision and enterprise of America's finest contemporary in…dependent and minority filmmakers.” Since its inception it grew over 20 years to be the largest student-run independent film festival in the nation.
The festival has had the privilege to showcase the talent of independent filmmakers from around the globe. Past festival guests have included Spike Lee, Oliver Stone, Tim McCanlies, Robert Rodriguez, Sean Astin, John Landis, and John Waters. Every year the festival was able to grow and reach an even wider audience.
However, in 2005 the festival stopped running. In the Summer of 2010 the Texas A&M Aggie SWAMP Club (Screenwriting Acting and Movie Production) decided to restore the Texas Film Festival to it’s former glory, in lieu of it’s own annual festival. full text
