I have compiled a list of international documentary film festivals from a variety of sources (EDN, BFI…), and thought you might find it useful. You can download it here:
If you want to submit a festival, please leave me a message. Thanks.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Thanks Alejandra. This is very thoughtful of you.

Thank you very much for sharing, Alejandra, this is great!
This is great Alejandra! Lots of work put into thsi. THANK YOU for sharing – very useful!
Thank you all for your comments. I am thinking about adding a Google Calendar with deadlines/festivals/pitching sessions, etc., but this will take more time. By the way, I’ve received today the Film Festivals Directory E-Bulletin from Britfilms.com (a monthly bulletin with festivals’ deadlines -feature, short, doc-). If you would like to subscribe/browse for specific festivals, go to http://www.britfilms.com/festivals/
Cheers for this, Alejandra. Looks very useful and comprehensive.
This is very nice of you Alejandra, muchas gracias!

Hola Anna,
Gracias por tu comentario. Veo por tu web que te dedicas al cine, pero no puedo acceder a los títulos que has producido, mission statement ni contacto. ¿Me podrás avisar cuando tu página esté activa, por favor, o informarme un poco de lo que haces? Si no te importa, claro! Gracias!
Un saludo cinéfilo!
Hola Alejandra,
me parece re-lindo que pongas esta lista online. Se complementa muy bien con britfilms y filmfestivals.com
Ojala que encuentres buenas oportunidades en Inglaterra.
Un abrazo

A Great work by Alejandra. It will be very useful to the documentary filmmakers.
I really appreciate the hardwork put in. Best Wishes.

I really hope it is useful! Hard as it is to get documentaries funded, at least have the opportunity to get them seen by people and aim for some recognition! Best wishes to you too!

Call for ROSCAR Entries
THE CALL FOR ROSCAR ENTRIES IS NOW OPEN for all wildlife productions. Building on the success of the 2009 ROSCAR Awards, four new exciting categories have been added.
The announcement of the winners will take place at the ROSCAR Awards ceremony during the Festival on 30 March. This event is a Festival highlight and pays tribute to filmmakers for their outstanding contribution to advancing an understanding of our natural world, and will take place at the enchanting Moyo restaurant at Spier, which promises sophisticated African cuisine and entertainment.
