United States · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
Without Boundaries: A Behind the Screens Film Festival is a selective, mission-driven U.S. festival created to spotlight women working behind the camera and in media technology, including AV, broadcast, film, digital content, and related fields. It is notable for its behind-the-scenes focus and for pairing curated screenings and awards with visibility opportunities at NAB Show New York, positioning it as an advocacy-oriented platform rather than a broad general-interest festival.
