Every year, the agents tell us the sales market at festivals takes longer to materialize, and every year they turn out to be (mostly) right. Still, before each film festival kicks off, we take the time to round up the handful of movies that could still fetch those illusory bidding wars and fantastic 8-figure deals.
In just its second year in existence, The Popcorn List - a survey of acclaimed ( but still undistributed) feature films that debuted at major or regional film festivals over the past year and come highly recommended by festival programmers - is already taking a big step forward. Next month, the creators of the list will host various pop up screening events, both at theaters and virtually, to show off the very same films they've been championing. The Pop Up Series includes eight films from the 2025 list - seven from first-time feature directors, six directed by women, three documentaries, and five fiction features - and will not only provide a space for eager audiences to see this stellar films, but will also offer a unique model for both promotion and profit.
