Film festival
A film festival is a mostly annual festival showcasing films, usually of a recent date, sometimes with a focus on a specific genre (e.g. animation) or subject (e.g. gay and lesbian film festivals).
The world's first major film festival was held in Venice in 1932; the other three major film festivals of the world (Cannes, Berlin and Locarno ) date back to the 1940s and 1950s.
The festivals in Venice, Cannes, Berlin, and (since 2002) Locarno are listed as so-called "A festivals". New films may be screened at only one of these festivals.
