The festival’s programme is typically a work in progress right up to the opening ceremony (October 1st) so our film previews will evolve as and when the organizers confirm the entrants. The festival is split into the the following festival Categories and our previews will follow suit. The films listed below will magically turn into links (and turn orange) to dedicated pages as and when (and if) we get round to throwing up our thoughts.
