"If you have the chance to attend any of the above film festivals as a film lover, you should," says the article and as well "If you have made it into any of them as a filmmaker, hello, we should probably interview you, because you either made it or in the process of making it."
The magazine wants to draw attention to and celebrate international film festivals, not only the five biggest ones; Cannes, Venice, Sundance, Toronto and Berlin, but also prestigious festivals that are important to introduce filmmaking in respective countries and to promote high-quality films.
