a sprinkle of new documentaries were announced today in addition to some specialty screenings/discussions in the Mavericks and Dialogues sections. I plugged them all into my spreadsheet here:
There is only one, final announcement on Thursday, which will complete the full line-up. As none of the 25 Hopefuls that I listed in my previous post were announced today, I’m preparing for a big heartbreak on Thursday. I hope at least five of them show up, but given how ho-hum the festival has been so far on including established filmmakers since their initial announcement back in June of all of the Cannes carry-overs, it looks like this year will be a big opportunity to discover new talent, which is a blast if one can be lucky enough to find it.
