I just went through the festival guide and marked all the films I found interesting. I narrowed it down to 82. Nellie is reviewing my list now, whittling out the ones she doesn’t want, but she’s not being very brutal about it and we’re probably going to end up with about 70. Figure maybe 10-15 more get eliminated because of scheduling problems and…well, we’re gonna have some touch decision on our hands. We can only see 13 or 14, so somethin’s gotta give.

Anyway, here’s the first cut. I can’t be bothered linking them to the official schedule.
