A nice place for seek about forthcoming film festivals are the
 
back pages of THE INDEPENDIENTE magazine...  and you can know in
 
advance dates if you wish to send a movie or video for competition.
 
If you are interested in a specific country, is a sort of easy
 
to ask to the appropiate Film Comission for a list.

the postproduction times from american film companies)
