Abstract
The attitude of care is one of the most enduring features of film festival cultures. It is present in the fabric of film festivals manifested in the work of curators and programmers, in film festival themes and points of focus, and among audiences and communities. By caring to curate and to organise a film festival event, be it online or live, film festivals create spaces of healing, presence and recovery for communities of film-makers, film practitioners and wider audiences. In this chapter I propose care as a methodological tool to examine constitutive elements of film festivals and their dynamics. I consider care as the overarching framework helping us comprehend critical aspects of film festival cultures and its potential to renew themselves beyond the points of crisis.
