Hi CuriousDaily! Before you move this to mainspace, I have a few small suggestions to really waterproof it against new page review.

You'll want to make sure every paragraph and section ends with a citation. Everything added should be cited--if multiple, consecutive sentences are drawn from the same source, it is acceptable to cite once at the end of the consecutive sentences. The exception is for direct quotes and potentially controversial statements, which should always be followed by citations.
You'll want to have a lead section, which is usually one or two paragraphs. The lead section comes before the table of contents. So for this article, I would just delete the section header that tells you what the page is going to be titled: "Bastard Film Encounter". Without the section title, that content will go before the TOC like it's supposed to
Citations shouldn't go in section titles. You can move the citation to after the last film in each section or have a sentence at the beginning of the sections such as "The following films were shown in 2017:*citation*"
I think the lists of films would look neater in bulleted form. In editing mode, highlight all the films in a section, and then click the bulleted list icon (to the right of the cite button).
Per MOS:TITLE, the titles of major works (such as films) are italicized, not in quotations. So the title of a chapter of a book would be in quotations, for example, but the book's title would be italicized. Films, short films, and documentaries are all italicized, so that's a small change you can make.

I hope that's helpful! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC) edited to add also pinging Auvaursi because I see you're working here too! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:02, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
