Jackson Hole hosts the world
The Jackson Hole Film Festival has announced a lineup heavy on international fare, the result of an effort by its programmers, including artistic director Melanie Miller, to travel the global fest circuit. 100 films from 30 countries will screen at JHFF, with 81 competing for the Cowboy Award.
The worldwide program also factors into the Global Insight Summit, an effort by the United Nations and the Jackson Hole Film Institute to focus on international concerns through the entertainment community. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to attend the summit.
The program includes Cristian Nemescu's (pictured) Cannes Un Certain Regard winner "California Dreamin' (Endless)", Marianna Palka's Sundance entry "Good Dick," photog Lauren Greenfield's doc "Kids + Money," and the world preem of Charles Weingarten's doc "The Rescue Foundation."
Full program is here.
