Your film deserves a festival run, not a spreadsheet.
Tell us about your film. Festro checks festival rules, lines up deadlines and fees, and builds a ranked, month-by-month campaign you can trust, with every date sourced.
NO ACCEPTANCE ODDS. NO GUESSED DEADLINES. JUST THE RULES.
From finished cut to festival circuit, in four steps.
Describe your film
Genre, runtime, country, completion date, premiere status, budget and the career you are building.
We read the small print
Runtime limits, premiere rules, country requirements. A rule we cannot confirm is marked needs checking.
Get a ranked campaign
Festivals ordered by fit for your goals, each with its fee, deadline and the reason it made the list.
Plan, track, submit
A calendar of what to send and when, with fees totted up against your budget and clashes flagged early.

Festival names are used only to identify them. Festro is not affiliated with or endorsed by any festival, and tier is our own editorial judgement.
Your whole run, month by month.
Solid bars are dates the festival has confirmed. Striped bars are our estimates, built from past editions, and always labelled as such.
One ticket for every festival on the list.
Each festival gets a ticket: where it ranks, what it costs, when it closes, and whether your film fits the stated rules. Where we do not know, we say so.
Northlight Film Festival (Fictional)
Runtime and premiere rules match the stated rules. Source on file.
Harbour City Film Week (Fictional)
Runtime limit is not recorded, so we cannot say your film is eligible yet. Check the festival’s own page.
Riverbend Shorts (Fictional)
Requires a regional premiere. Accepting here may rule out Northlight, so we flag it before you pay a fee.
ALL FESTIVALS, FEES AND DATES ON THIS PAGE ARE FICTIONAL SAMPLE DATA.
Stop chasing tabs. Start screening.
Twelve tabs and a guess
- Deadlines copied from last year’s page
- Premiere rules buried in the small print
- Fees tallied in your head, or not at all
- Two festivals that cannot both be your premiere
One honest plan
- Every date marked confirmed or estimated, with its source
- Your film checked against each festival’s stated rules, or flagged as needs checking
- Fees and budget in one place, free kept distinct from not recorded
- Premiere clashes flagged before you pay a fee
What we will never do.
Predict your odds of acceptance
Nobody can honestly promise that. We rank by fit with your goals and the stated rules, not by a made-up percentage.
Pass off a guess as a fact
Confirmed dates and estimates look different, and every festival links to where its details came from.
Say you are eligible when we cannot tell
If the rules do not settle it, the answer is needs checking, not a hopeful yes.
Show invented data as real
Samples are labelled (Fictional), always. You will never mistake a demo for a real deadline.
