    It really depends on the festival and how old the film is.

    Some festivals will only accept films that have been completed after a certain date and others are more flexible - although I think almost all will favour newer films over older ones.

    yeah I think a lot of festivals insist that the film has never been released or aired before, I'm sure if you dig around you'll find one. A friend of mine entered his film in an American festival and was chosen.

    You should be able to do a search on Withoutabox to find those that accept your type of film.

    Most american festivals only care that it hasn't been broadcast in the U.S.

    If it's good it's worth a try.
