The word ''premiere'' (or '''''première''''', from the French ''première'', "first") generally means "a first performance". This can refer to Play s, Film s (movies) and so on. Premieres for theatrical, musical and other cultural presentations can become extravagant affairs, attracting large numbers of Socialite s and much Media attention. Standard trappings may include a Parade along a Red Carpet . At a festive film premiere the main Actor s involved in the performance may attend. "Worldwide" premieres (or "world" premieres) mark the first showing of the performance ever; regional or national premieres may signal the first performance/screening in a given country. A film may screen at a Film Festival before its General Release to Movie Theater s. Betts (2004: 12) attributes the introduction of the film premiere to Sid Grauman . SEE ALSO REFERENCES
