(sorry for the empty bug. hit "save" before there was anything to save)

Objective: highlight the various film festivals Firefox Flicks will be sponsoring throughout the year (in one carousel image)

Main message: connect with Firefox Flicks in person
CTA: Catch us at one of these premier film festivals ()

Film Festivals:
SxSW, Austin, TX: March 8 - 16
BAFICI, Buenos Aires Argentina: April 10 - 20
New Horizons, Warclow, Poland: July 18 - 28 
Cinemalaya, Manila, Philippines: July 19 - 29
Toronto International Film Festival: September 5 - 15

The idea is to show the global reach of the film festival and to invite our visitors to participate with Flicks to promote great film

This one's a bit different than the others. I don't think it has a link (but please correct me if I'm wrong) and it has a lot more content, so maybe you can use more of the space of the carousel to mention all the different film festivals.


Catch Flicks in person

Join us at one of the film festivals we're sponsoring throughout the contest:

SxSW, Austin, Texas — March 8–16
Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cinema Independiente, Argentina — April 10–20
Nowe Horyzonty, Wrocław, Poland — July 18–28 
Cinemalaya, Manila, Philippines — July 19–29
Toronto International Film Festival, Canada — September 5–15


One note about formatting and names: We had all of the festival names written in their native languages except for the one in Poland. I changed it to the Polish name for consistency, but let me know if there's a reason that one was in English, but the Argentinean one wasn't.

Hey Matej, 

No reason for using the English name of the Wroclaw festival. Just following what the organizers sent us in the event paperwork. I like the in-language name like you listed. 

I think the Argentina event we can use the acronym BAFICI to save space. 

The plan is to write a blog post about Flicks' film fest participation and point the carousel promo to that blog post. 

Otherwise, this looks good. 

Thanks for all the work.

Here I think we can use the short name since we mention film festivals in the line before. Also updating with a learn more CTA.

Looks great, Matt. This one just needs a "Learn more »" link somewhere.

Yup, looks good. The "m" should be lowercase in "Learn more," though. And now that we've added that, I'd like to change the colon at the end of the sentence to a period, but we can adjust that during implementation.

Added a period and lowercase 'm' on CTA
