The Crime List
Emerging or unverified festival
I could not verify a U.S. film festival officially called "The Crime List" from the available results. The closest matching U.S. crime-focused festival found is the Los Angeles Crime and Horror Film Festival, which showcases crime drama, true crime, horror, and related subgenres, and serves as a platform for independent filmmakers through live screenings and industry networking in Hollywood.
