Your page can even include an embedded video promoting your festival or showcasing a trailer from a documentary that was showcased at your festival to represent the kinds of films you're seeking. The easiest way to share a video is to copy/paste the EMBED code from YouTube, Vimeo or any other video sharing site and include it with your film festival description in the box below.

Please use the following (approximate) video dimensions:
