Fest boasts a strong British contingent, including Andrea Arnold’s “Fish Tank,” Duncan Ward’s “Boogie Woogie” and Duncan Jones’ “Moon,” all competing for the U.K. Film Council sponsored Michael Powell Award for British feature.
The new international feature competish includes Noah Buschel’s “The Missing Person,” Sarah Watt’s “My Year Without Sex” and Max Francos’ “Nakba.”
Darren Aronofsky, Brenda Blethyn, Bill Forsyth and Joe Dante will be in town to give master classes.
