As a tribute to extraordinary film talent from around the world, this program showcases a cross section of international perspectives.
Film is clearly a powerful form of communication, exposing the human character.
It reveals universal truths through the colorful translations of the individual artists. We are honored to premiere these accomplished films at the historic Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. These filmmakers have spent countless hours developing their projects, creating stories and sticking to shooting schedules which are more often than not realized on miniscule budgets. Festivals exist to provide an avenue of exposure for these artists. They allow the audience to witness a range of realities, serving as a window to human nature.
