The festival’s programme is typically a work in progress right up to the opening ceremony (October 6th) so our film previews will evolve as and when the organizers confirm the entrants. Below we list the films as they are categorized by the festival and each will magically turn into a link to a dedicated preview page as and when (and if) we get around to throwing up our thoughts.
