I did a picture I loved called Time After Time (1979), and the people who saw it loved it. We had a big opening in Toronto at the Festival of Festivals - huge - and they gave us a fabulous reception. Great city, Toronto - Mary (Mary Steenburgen) and I lov...

Indian cinema has begun to be recognized globally. And it`s very important for us to make our presence felt at important events such as Cannes. I feel there should be more Indian representation at festivals. India is producing such a large cross section o...

I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college. It`s funny because all I wanted to do when I was young was to become a dan...

I`m happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too. For me, it`s an occasion to meet many people and to experience directly the response of international audience...

The awards put a movie on people`s radars. Festivals are good, even though the idea of putting movies in competitions-this one is the best this, that one is the best that-is ridiculous.
Ethan Coen
It was like an army operation... We understood from the very beginning that Russia needs big, ambitious and brave film-making. Before us, there was only art-house - great, talented movies for European festivals - and very bad, very cheap and creatively we...

On the receiving side, I think the whole world is more ready, with the Internet, with film festivals and DVDs. It used to be a one-way street from West to East: we were receiving and the West was producing. I think we`re getting closer and closer. The gap...

When we finally got to play that and we had a great show there, well I can tell it was pretty awesome. Y`know, we probably did bigger festivals since then; we probably headlined bigger festivals since then, but I will always remember that.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.
Keanu Reeves
It`s a big family affair. When I go to these festivals, it takes an hour to play the set and two hours to say hey to everyone.

In starting to learn about film festivals and what were good ones - `cause there are five billion of them - it was just a really good East Coast festival. And I thought this little movie was an East Coast film.
Andrew McCarthy
I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals.
Gerard Butler
I find it odd at 47 that I can go to festivals and be in the company of groups that are much younger and we are playing a not-dissimilar set.
Chris Bailey
Doing that, then doing a lot of theater, which I love. Doing guest stars, did two independent films that are going around to all these festivals. Both of them are going to be at the Lake Tahoe Film Festival.

But an innovation, to grow organically from within, has to be based on an intact tradition, so our idea is to bring together musicians who represent all these traditions, in workshops, festivals, and concerts, to see how we can connect with each other in ...

Asian films are surging right now. TIFF, one of the biggest film festivals in Asia, will further vitalize Asian films and promote cultural exchanges between [Asian filmmakers and their counterparts] in other parts of the world.

[The film was completed by 2002 and screened at several festivals, winning awards in Atlantic City and Palm Springs, Calif. It had distribution offers, including one from one of the] classic ... simply had not had a good track record.
