Film festival network (IMAGE) Estonian Research Council Caption Film festivals analysed as a network of events connected via overlap in film programming. Unipartite spring-embedded event network diagram, different node symbols for A- and B-list festivals, nodes colored chronologically by event year from dark blue to yellow, edges colored by the year of the later event. The longitudinal shape emerges from the dominance of short-range links across time, while a minority of long-range links result in the U shape.
