There are not any legal restrictions on selling a movie submitted to a major film festival, but there might be contractual limitations. Your film remains your intellectual property.
However, some film festivals might have terms in their film submission agreements that limit film distribution options while the film is under consideration or during the film festival itself. The film festival might request an exclusive window where the movie cannot be screened publicly elsewhere. This is to maintain the premiere status of the film festival screening. The film festival might restrict certain types of sales during this window, like selling to film streaming services or specific film distributors. This is to not undermine potential film festival acquisitions.
Most film festivals have clear communication channels. Reach out to clarify any doubts about selling your movie after film submission. Look for any clauses regarding film distribution or sales restrictions.
More often than not, film festivals attract film distributors looking for new films. A strong film festival screening can increase your movie's selling potential.
