Abstract
The fact that these events are festivals is important. The celebratory atmosphere of festivals allows people to relax. In addition, films are usually perceived as leisure, as there are no competency standards to be met, as opposed to work or school where performance is expected. These festivals take place in the familiar settings of their respective communities, yet the nature of the events allows people to suspend daily routines and enter a liminal space outside daily concerns and activities.
