Cucalorus Film Festival named in MovieMaker’s coolest film festivals in the world

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – The Cucalorus Film Festival out of Wilmington has been named one of MovieMaker’s 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World for 2023.
According to a press release, the annual list recognizes festivals that go out of their way to be innovative, welcoming, and simply cool.
“Our 25 Coolest Film Festivals list exists because of festivals like Cucalorus,” MovieMaker editor-in-chief Tim Molloy said. “ It’s the rare festival that has nothing to do with competition or heavy-handed networking. It’s all about art, love, and cool. Dan Brawley and the rest of the team cultivate a sense of support, inclusion, and curiosity — they truly love films, the more daring and inventive, the better — and if that sounds like you, this is probably your dream festival. It’s a nice bonus that it happens to be in a film town that’s both a place of cinematic legend and a hotbed of new projects.”
