You can picture festival as a marked-out time set apart from ordinary days, when a community gathers to celebrate something together — food, music, ritual, joy all packed into one special stretch on the calendar. The original picture is a holy day or feast day; the film-and-music kind is the same idea of a dedicated time, just centred on the arts instead of religion.

可以把 festival 想成日曆上特別圈出來、和平常日子不一樣的一段時間,大家聚在一起慶祝某件事——吃的、音樂、儀式、歡樂全擠進這段特別的日子裡。最原始的畫面比較像節慶或聖日;至於影展、音樂節那種,可以想成同一個「特地騰出來慶祝的時段」,只是中心換成了藝術,不是宗教。
