Funding policy creates also a competitive pressure on festivals' cost efficiency, which means a competitive pressure on price of labor. Both precarious character of 'work' in a cultural sector, especially in festivals production, and its continuous demand for low paid and free labor, are rooted in neoliberal governing at the central, political level.  Festival funding is also a part of political game between central and local governments. A festival promotes globally the brand of a hosting city and help its governors to keep the sympathy of local electors. Capability to gain funding for event organization depends on political positions and knowledge on political field that its organizer is able to mobilize. Thus, To gain funding for a festival one should be close to  the field of politics, or within this field. To organize the festival one need knowlede on artistic field and relations in this field, as far as ability to organize a big number of people with neccesery skills and other resources (including neccesery equipment and implements) preferably for free (which is often possible). The  system of differentiations that permits one to govern the others is the position in the network of relations, or the social capital, to use a term by Pierre Bourdieu.  very same network of relations which is the product of festival.
