The Savage Tales of Frank MacGuffin[edit]

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

Poorly written and poorly sourced article about a film, whose only claim of notability is that it received one screening at the local film festival in the filmmaker's own hometown. There's no evidence that it's screened anywhere else or gotten any significant volume of media coverage for the purposes of clearing WP:GNG -- the only references here are purely local coverage in the city's own local media. At a top-tier festival like Cannes or Berlin or Sundance or Toronto, a premiere is a presumption of notability in and of itself, because major newspapers and widely-read film industry publications like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter actually send film critics to review the films -- but Cinéfest is not in that rarefied class of festivals, so a locally produced film screening there is not an automatic Wikipedia inclusion freebie in the absence of any wider distribution or coverage.
