Hi.. I was recently asked what I would charge as a screening charge for my film to be shown at a film festival. Does anyone know what the going rates are? The film is a one hour documentary. Thanks!

@Karen Goldfarb Have you looked at Film Freeway.com. It is my understanding that they are a clearing house for most major festivals. And P.S. Why are you not in my 'WORKING NETWORK' of METRO NYC/DUTCH Stage 32 creatives? Could it have been the recent glitches we ALL have been experiences from the server upgrades? Anyway if you can put in a network request I would appreciate it. Yeah I rarely sleep. It's the only time when the Island of Manhattan is quiet enough to write. Really hope I can make your premiere.
Dear Karen Some festivals pay you the fee of screening your film. It depend to the festival that how much is it? It is between 100 to 600 USD.

@Ali Ashoori - Can I trouble you for the source of the $100 to $600 for myself as well as Karen so we can take advantage of this information you provided? Thank you.
@steven I have some films in some festivals that they charge me with this fee for screening. Also, it can be changed for some of them
You mustn't pay the fee also they pay you forbyour screening...
Ali- Thank you for providing your personal source as the basis for your $100 to $600 USD figure.
Thanks people!
I run a film festival and have different fees for shorts and for features. Right now, use code 00STAGE32 for a discount. Look for us in Film Freeway, Dodowa International Film Festival. Thanks. :)
Good information.
Is it common for filmmakers to pay an additional fee after their film has been selected? Just to be seen in the festival?
Not necessarily. Feel free to email me greytiger1979@gmail.com 1979
