First pioneered in Venice, Italy in the early 1930s, the film festival has grown – to a number exceeding 3,000 of them worldwide according to the Motion Picture Association – in popularity, availability, and impact on filmmakers and the industry they represent as well as on the general economies the festivals inhabit. As noted by the Motion Picture Association regarding the impact film festivals have for a variety of society's moving parts, the Sundance Film Festival in one year alone secured $151.
