Marcin, why did you assume I was being sarcastic? I was quite serious. Just saying we should stop crying about it and reimagine the whole festival paradigm. DIY.

Tim, sarcasm is not necessary here. I started such a festival long time ago: Animator in Poznan, Poland. We do not charge any fee and the Grad Prix equals $1500 thousand dollars.
Yours,
Marcin

Maybe they should provide more money to the festival film viewers / jury to do a fully honest and cognizant job of selecting. That’s important work, which for some festivals sometimes seems like a bit of a bs configuration. Though, it is the festival viewer / critic that spends the sometimes difficult and time-consuming work of assessing all of these films.
If they’re making more money and not expanding their festivals, why not pay some of the artists?
It also seems like this is a case-by-case.

I am bothered more by the fact that festivals charge a lot of money not giving much in exchange. Most of them simply exploits filmmakers.

There's not good way to hear "we didn't take your film". But the breathless intro "We got 5 million entries!......." has always irritated me.

Every film festival is telling me that they have received record number of entries from hundreds to thousands. If entries are increasing should not the scope and duration of the festivals increase to accommodate the record numbers. Increased entries also mean increased income to the festivals.
A question to the community
