About

An International Film Festival Platform and Promotion Agency
One of the largest film festival agencies worldwide. Founded in 2011, we have made a significant contribution to the global film festival ecosystem: we provide in-depth information about film festivals in our journal, deliver lectures on festival strategy and promotion, have built one of the largest film festival catalogs, and have promoted more than 1,000 films internationally.

What We Do

We focus on three core areas of activity within our agency:
Education

We organize lectures on festival promotion and publish educational content, including articles, interviews, and analytical materials. In parallel, we are building an international database of film schools, designed to support filmmakers in developing a deeper and more strategic approach to film festivals.

Our History

Festagent was founded out of practical experience in film festival promotion. When we produced our first films and began submitting them to international film festivals, it quickly became clear that there are more than 6,000 festivals worldwide, yet navigating this landscape is far from straightforward.

How do you find the right film festivals?
Which festivals truly match a film’s profile and strategy?
Is a film eligible under specific festival regulations, and how should a submission be handled correctly?

It soon became evident that these questions were shared by filmmakers across the industry.

One of the main challenges was access to structured and reliable information. Festival regulations, eligibility criteria, and submission rules were scattered across thousands of sources, making informed decision-making difficult.

In response, we created a single platform that brings together film festivals from around the world, providing structured data, clear regulations, and a powerful system of search and filtering. This is how Festagent was established.

Over time, Festagent developed its own festival classification system and evolved into a professional tool for film festival research, strategy planning, and festival promotion.

Today, Festagent is a fully international film festival platform, used by filmmakers worldwide.

By all verifiable and measurable metrics, Festagent is recognized as one of the leading festival agencies and platforms in the industry. We publish open statistics on festival selections and awards and maintain a public catalog of films, ensuring transparency and data-driven decision-making.

Festagent is ranked among the top 10 largest film festival catalogs worldwide.
