I stumbled on the Florida Film Festival website too late for this year, but I'm keeping it on my radar for next year (although this year's line-up looks great and Emma Stone will be there).

Over the last 10 years or so it seems that local and regional film festivals have been popping up all over the place - some lack new releases, some focus on local or regional films/film makers, others are limited by theme. Any of you guys attend film festivals? What criteria do you look for, e.g., new release debuts, themes, genres, local films, variety, etc.?
