Film Festival Hype Crossword Clue
For most of us, early September means back-to-school photos, football season and predicting how your hometown team will do in the playoffs. But it signals something else to a small coterie of critics and movie obsessives: the film festival circuit is underway.
Sometimes this hype pays off: Free Fire received standing ovations at Cannes and A United Kingdom was a hit at Toronto. But more often it doesn’t.
Film-festival site
Film festivals are a great way to meet other people who share your passion for film. Many of them host mixers for people who want to network with other filmmakers and make connections that can lead to future projects. Moreover, many festivals also give participants the opportunity to work on their own films and have their work critiqued by others.
The submission site MoviBeta has a list of over 1100 world festivals. It allows entrants to upload large files (up to 20 GB) and store them on its servers. It also offers a subscription service for filmmakers who want to submit their films to more festivals.
Unlike big blockbuster movies, smaller independent films often rely on film festivals to generate awards season buzz and build a following. As such, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a new movie premiere and its accompanying hype. This can include absurdly long standing ovations and excessive praise being thrown around on social media.

Sundance, the quaint mountain retreat that transforms into a petri dish each January for a week, has long been a gathering place for filmmakers, actors, and industry figures to celebrate the art of independent film. It’s a place where chit chat over ice cream can lead to saved seats, passes to waitlisted films, and friendship.
This year’s festival is particularly notable for a few reasons, including a new movie from the directors of the hit documentary “Catfish.” The movie stars Nev Schulman as a photographer who becomes involved in an online relationship with an 8-year-old girl who turns out to be a convicted felon. It’s a story that has generated lots of buzz and is sure to have a major impact at this year’s Sundance. The festival has also announced plans to expand its online presence and offer more virtual screenings.

The word SCOUSE appears in many crosswords and lends itself to a wide variety of clues, from Anotherchrismiller’s “Liver delivery” to MelonMouse’s devious “Tesco usefully supplies stew”. It’s also the basis for a slang term used by professional athletes to describe themselves as “DEKED.” — WSJ.
The Oscars
The Oscars are coming and the hype is real. It’s no secret that Hollywood is in the middle of a major shake-up. Many old-school, tradition-bound Academy members are being pushed out the door as newer voters enter. The result is a lot of controversy. This is not the first time the Oscars have faced controversy over diversity.
