Silent film festivals

Okay, I've decided to put up a list of silent film festivals worldwide. I want to note that I am not receiving any advertising money for it; I just wanted a comprehensive list of festivals so that fans can find the one closest to their location. I want to state, however, that I am very open to having any festival pay to advertise on this blog; just leave a comment and I'll find it and contact you by email.

I'm listing these festivals in order of the time of year they take place. If anyone would like to see a festival listed here, please contact me with all the necessary details, and a link to the festival's website. The festival dates for 2009 will be given here, subject to updates.
