Distribution 

Distribution is the process where a film is shared to the public for the first time, as a highly competitive business of launching and sustaining films in the market place, it is very important that the distributor know exactly what they are looking for and needs to make sure the right decisions are taken. Like other forms of entertainment, the film business is product-driven: the films themselves are the reason why most people buy cinema tickets.

film distributor is a company or individual responsible for the marketing of a film. The distributor may set the release date of a film and the method by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing: for example, directly to the public either theatrically or for home viewing (DVDvideo-on-demanddownloadtelevision programs through broadcast syndication etc.). A distributor may do this directly, if the distributor owns the theaters or film distribution networks, or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors. A limited distributor may deal only with particular products, such as DVDs or Blu-ray, or may act in a particular country or market.

The traditional ways was through theatre and cinema distribution, it is the well known but as more and more movies are being watched illegally online and many at home on any home entertainment. This means the traditional ways of watching new films is becoming less and less used.

film festival is an organised, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialize in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events.
