What if a film festival could make your negative review disappear simply by changing your film from “Selected” to “Not Selected”?

It happened to me.

I’d travelled abroad to attend a festival, won my category, and later left a respectful but negative review of my experience.

Then the review disappeared.

That experience became one of the reasons I created Film Festival Radar — a filmmaker-first platform designed to help you check festival credibility, compare festivals and find the festivals that are actually a good match for your film.
