In case you wonder why I don't usually cover this fest, the main reason is in the above complete lineup. Did you notice the absence of French films? There are only French co-productions. Still, even I have to admit that this festival has films not only from America but also from other countries in the world; most interesting is that woman filmmakers are significantly represented in each of the fest sections.
