festival screening
Debut movie event
A festival screening is a showing of a film at a film festival, typically before its general theatrical release.
These screenings often serve as premieres or early showcases where filmmakers present their work to critics, industry professionals, and festival audiences: The documentary had its festival screening at Sundance.
Festival screenings can build buzz and help secure distribution deals.
