Hi, I’d like to know how many of the films in this year’s festival are documentaries and which are fiction.
Thanks!
We have two features — “Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame” by Hana Makhmalbaf. She only 20 years-old but has already won numerous awards for the film — and “Chop Shop” by Ramin Bahrani. This is his second feature. The remaining five films are documentaries.
