Lots of talk and post about the just opened film fest. Here are a few we ran across:

Jeff Wells is covering it and shooting it.

Greencine, as always, has an excellent round-up, esp. a good one about what happened to the past filmmakers who won the fest.

Quint covers the opening day: "The shuttle system was easy, the streets were clear and laid back. I thought, "This isn't so bad." After all the horror stories I had heard I was expecting a circus, complete with clowns (old ladies pretending to be young ladies), freaks (see previous) and animals of all sorts."
