Why Submit to Raindance?
Historically, Raindance has been considered a “bellwether” festival – a festival that many other festivals and distributors look to for films and filmmakers. The 21st edition of the Raindance Film Festival will take place in London’s West End from 25 September to 6 October 2013.
