What a wonderful film festival! So many great films and directors there to meet and talk to… my only complaint was that it should be better attended… this is a far better film festival than many other major festivals… I think they had more than 90 different shows, and some were sold out, but many were not full… every single show was great and I saw 23 films… ! Somebody near me saw 45! Wow! This city has a great international film festival and they should support it more… Toronto turns out for their festival, and it is huge, I admit, but no one can see 300 films… even Cleveland has a bigger audience… I do not know why, because our film festival is a lot better… see for yourself at http://www.worldfest.org
See you next year! WW
