Evidence for film festival research

I have also been conducting film festival research and the integral questions which I am focusing on  are -  why are film festivals important in the industry? Does critical success in festivals guarantee a career in the industry?

As part of my research I have sent emails to various film festival organisers.

I emailed Elliot Thomas from Sheffield Doc Fest and I will link the evidence of the emails here on my blog, I sent out my questionnaire to various leader of film festivals as this is the requirement for the criteria.

Elliot emailed me back and attached his completed version of the questionnaire which I will use for research.I will print screen the page of his reply.


I also emailed filmfestival UK and asked them if they could answer my questionnaire for evidence of research.

I also emailed my questionnaire to various class members which I will display below:

I also finally emailed two lead organizers of the Raindance film festival and asked them to fill my questionnaire out.
