About film festival names

A film festival name usually answers one of two questions: where is it, or what does it show. Long-running festivals tend to carry the name of their host city or region, so the place-style names here use generic settings such as Harborfront, Old Town and Twin Rivers that you can swap for your own. Smaller events more often lead with the program: shorts, documentaries, horror, animation, student work or a single theme.

The last word sets expectations. Festival suggests several days and a jury, Fest is looser and more local, Showcase and Screenings promise an evening without a competition, and Week or Days tell people how long to stay. Challenge, Sprint and Dash belong to timed contests, where crews write, shoot and finish a film inside a weekend.

The 1,000 names are spread across those styles: international and regional festivals, independent and underground fests, short film nights, student and youth showcases, documentary, horror, genre and animation events, outdoor and drive-in series, themed programs, seasonal festivals, names built on film craft terms, and timed challenges. A small share are names for sections and prizes inside a festival. All of them were invented for this list, and nobody has checked them against existing events, so search before you print the posters.

How to choose film festival names

  • Start with your own place. Swap the generic setting in a name like Harborfront International Film Festival for your town, river, neighborhood or venue.
  • Match the last word to the scale of the event: Festival for a multi-day program with a jury, Fest for a casual local weekend, Showcase or Screenings for a single evening, Week or Days when the length is the selling point.
  • If you only show one kind of film, say so in the name. Shorts, documentary, horror, animation and student are the words filmmakers type when they look for somewhere to submit.
  • Keep the year and the edition number out of the name itself and put them on the poster, so the name still works when the festival comes back.
  • Search the name before you commit to it. Look on the web, on film submission sites and on social media to make sure no other festival already uses it or something close to it.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good film festival name?

It tells people where the festival is or what it shows, and it is short enough to say aloud and to fit inside the laurel graphic that selected films put on their posters. Names such as Midnight Reel Fest and Dead of Night Horror Fest make the program clear in a few words. A place-style name such as Harborfront International Film Festival sounds more formal and suits a juried event.

Can I use one of these names for a real festival?

Yes, treat the list as a starting point. The names were invented for this page, but nobody has checked whether another event already uses them, so search the web, film submission sites and social media first. Replacing the generic setting with your own town or venue also makes a clash less likely.

What should I call a timed filmmaking competition?

Use a word that signals the clock, such as Challenge, Sprint or Dash, and say the time window in plain words. The list has names like Two-Day Film Dash, One-Take Wonder Challenge, Friday to Sunday Film Sprint and The Weekend Cut. A name that describes your own rules is easier to remember than a number.

Does the list include names for sections and prizes?

A small share of it does. Section names include Late Show Section and Hometown Shorts Block, and prize names include The Lantern Prize and Brass Sprocket Award. They are useful once the festival itself has a name and the program needs its own headings.
