Many festivals organize their programming into Sections, which can help your festival-goers navigate to find programs they are interested in. Organizing by section also helps you feature the unique topics and focuses of your festival.

Some examples of sections include:

- International Features
- Emerging Filmmakers
- Local Favorites

These are just some ideas to inspire you, of course there are many more possibilities!

### Creating Sections

1. From the Dashboard, navigate to Movies > Sections.
2. On the left side of the screen, enter a name for the Section (i.e. "International"). You can leave the other fields as-is.
3. Once you click the Add New Section button, the section will show up in the list on the right side. 
4. You can click Edit on the section to set more details, such as the color coding used for that section throughout the site.
