RECAP THE 2021 FILM FESTIVAL!

Reviews

I've been to several different festivals in North Texas, but this one is one to check out. So many quality films, but this festival incorporates culture deep in its run. You can experience music, art, comedy, food, and panels that help filmmakers network and grow in their craft.

Overall, DBFF was a great experience. The team put together an overall well rounded festival full of social events, cultural events, workshops, and great screenings.

The DBFF is an incredible film festival! The quality of the films presented were consistently among the best I've seen from any fest, and the hospitality and opportunities for networking were excellent. The venues were top-notch, as well with excellent screens and no technical glitches. I look forward entering a film for next year's DBFF. I would go even if I didn't have a film showing!

The cinema my film screened was beautiful. I also attended several discussion talks which I received a lot of value. Great communication with the festival coordinators. I highly recommend you attend and submit.
