We are all familiar with Cannes, Berlin, TIFF, Sundance and even the Sydney Film Festival to name a few, but there are a tonne more smaller film festivals worldwide that don’t always get recognition. We posted about the Santa Barbara Film Festival here but we didn’t know what days MttS was screening. We can now confirm that it has 3 screenings during that festival. I’ve added a list of festivals that Maps screened at during 2014 too just to give an idea of which countries have been given a limited release. I’ll update this post if more festival come to light in 2015 since a lot of the festivals scheduled around late Feb/early March haven’t finalised their schedules yet. But here’s 2 that are definitely a list of screening for Maps to the Stars in 2015 (information from IMDbPro unless otherwise stated):
CPH Pix (formerly Copenhagen International Film Festival (Denmark) – special preview screening of Maps to the Stars on 17 March 2015. Ticket information here

This is great. i love the film festivals. They are so important to good movie making. I think I could skip the big movie houses competently and just be happy with what these festivals showcase
Do you think MTTS Life & QOTD will be included in th Sydney Film this year?
Sydney Film Festival I meant to say in June.
@Hazeldene it’s possible either film may be considering the Australian links. To be honest I hadn’t even thought about it, but now you have piqued my interest and the only criteria I can see is that it hasn’t been screened in NSW so it doesn’t matter if it’s been screened in Berlin. So fingers crossed we get one. I will keep my eyes peeled – submissions close on 27 February. Good thinking 99!
Wow, fantastic to see so many festivals signing up for a slice of Maps to the Stars!! Great that more people will get to see this on the big screen where it belongs (and Rob!). Thanks for the updates and everything crossed for Sydney Film Festival!!
The World Tour with Rob. What a wonderful idea
