What a perfect guide to that modern phenomenon! the film festival! about which the public thinks it knows so much and actually is permitted to know so little."-B. Ruby Rich! author of Chick Flicks "Every film festival I attend! there's Ken Turan! notebook in hand! big smile! racing to the next film. We always synchronize our watches. Ken touted me on the official film critic's model! the Timex Indiglo! which has great big numbers and lights up in the dark! so you can see how long an endless film has been running. Now I see why he was taking all those notes. His Sundance to Saravejo is smart! sometimes funny! sometimes appalled! always perceptive-an insider's report from the cutting edge."-Roger Ebert Zusammenfassung Almost every day of the year a film festival takes place somewhere in the world - from sub-Saharan Africa to the Land of the Midnight Sun.
