GALAS
AND SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
In addition to the Festival Opening and Closing night Galas and the annual
Awards Gala, this year’s schedule includes four Gala Screenings selected
for their premiere status or to highlight a special section in the Festival
line-up. Special guests will attend, and a reception will follow the screenings
(available for a nominally higher price).
The World Cinema Now Gala – THE SNOW WALKER
The Foreign Oscar Buzz Gala – WARRIORS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
The Gay-La – LATTER DAYS
The French Gala – LOVE ME IF YOU DARE
OSCAR®
BUZZ
The Festival has expanded its coverage of films being considered for the
ultimate in movie awards with this new section devoted to films which
– officially or unofficially – are considered to be the films
most likely to be among the five final nominees for Academy Awards®
in their respective categories. As always, we’re presenting virtually
all of the official submissions for the Best Foreign Language Film category
at this year’s event. We’re adding a selection of the films
which are assumed (according either to official ‘short lists’
of finalists or insider industry ‘buzz’) to be the frontrunners
in three other categories which general audiences have little or no chance
to see prior to the nominations, let alone the awards show itself: Best
Documentary Feature, Best Animated Feature (focussing only on the foreign
language candidates) and Best Documentary Short.
 NEW
VOICES/NEW VISIONS
This special showcase features the work of twelve debuting international
filmmakers, which the Festival programmers have singled out to represent
the most stylistically audacious and distinctive among the crop of some
40-plus new directors encompassed by the feature film line-up this year.
NON-FICTION
FEATURES
This selection of contemporary documentary films, complementing the eleven
feature documentaries presented in the OSCAR BUZZ section, provides fresh
evidence that the non-fiction feature format has become an arena for some
of the most inventive and engrossing movies on view in the current cinema.
CONTEMPORARY
WORLD CINEMA
Traditionally the largest and most inclusive section of films in the Festival
line-up, this selection of roughly 100 exceptional new narrative feature
films from more than 60 countries around the world returns with a new
name this year, with a special focus on Ibero-American Cinema (defined
as the countries of Latin America as well as Spain and Portugal) and a
strikingly large number of excellent new films from France.
TALKING
PICTURES
A series of Master Classes and Panels will be presented during the festival.
