Beautiful Accidents

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a film, whose only stated claim of notability is that a "work in progress" excerpt screened last year at the local film festival of the city where the filmmaker works. This is a second-tier flm festival where a screening is not an automatic WP:NFILM pass in and of itself for a film that has yet to screen anywhere else, the way it would be at a top-tier festival like Cannes or TIFF or Sundance or Berlin, and the referencing here is nowhere near adequate to deem it as passing WP:GNG in lieu: the references are an online ticket seller, IMDb (which is not a reliable or notability-conferring source), and a small smattering of purely local coverage in the same city's local media -- including duplicated repetition of the same link to one radio station's "contact us" page instead of to any page that actually verifies that the station actually aired any content about the film. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it actually opens and screens wider than just Cinéfest alone, and/or it gets Canadian Screen Award nominations, but one screening at the filmmaker's own hometown film festival is not in and of itself enough to make a film notable.

Delete, a crowd source and personal finance film which was abandoned, it is only interesting because of the efforts to finish the cut despite there not being enough footage, it appears they decided to use behind the scenes footage. It was shown at a festival, and that is about it. Szzuk (talk) 16:09, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication from either the references in the article or my own searching that this meets WP:NFILM, and in particular, fails WP:NFF. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
