Festiful is a website I created for film festival schedule planning. I’m excited to officially partner with the New York Film Festival this year to make Festiful the best way to plan your NYFF experience!

A film festival schedule can be daunting to plan out. This year’s New York Film Festival has 81 films, and each film will have various screenings throughout 17 days. Festiful streamlines the planning process by reducing information overload and making it easier to visualize schedule options.

This year, New York Film Festival is partnering with Festiful, and endorsing the app as its recommended scheduling tool. Festiful’s data about NYFF’s movies and screenings is directly from FilmLinc, so Festiful will always be as up-to-date as the official FilmLinc pages. Plan your NYFF schedule on Festiful here.

How Festiful works

You can browse the NYFF lineup within Festiful. You can like films you’re interested in to add them to your shortlist. These lists are shareable: here’s my NYFF shortlist!

In your planner, you can see all the screenings for films you added to your shortlist, visualized so that it’s easy to see when different screenings would conflict. Clicking on a screening will add it to your schedule.

You can then review your finalized schedule, export it to your calendar app, and share your schedule with others. The schedule page even has links to purchase your tickets.

Screenings on Festiful will also let you know when they are sold out or have limited tickets remaining!

Let me hear from you!

Thanks

Thanks to Jordan Raup, Associate Director of Marketing at FilmLinc, for being such a great partner in preparing Festiful for this year’s NYFF. Jordan’s been a fantastic ambassador for the festival by always engaging directly with the festival-goer community, and this proactivity is how I was able to connect with FilmLinc. I’m super grateful for Jordan’s trust in me and the potential for Festiful. His collaboration and feedback leading up to this launch have been essential to its success.

Thanks to Ingrid Wang for her support and feedback, which has been tremendously helpful in making Festiful a better experience. I’m grateful for all the film festivals we’ve gone to together, and looking forward to many more!
