Fest Bits | P-town honors T-tino
- Provincetown International fest will award Quentin Tarantino with its 2008 Filmmaker on the Edge Award. It's also invited the 9 previous Edge winners to town to celebrate the fest's 10th anniversary - John Waters, Christine Vachon, Ted Hope, James Schamus, Gus Van Sant, Todd Haynes, Jim Jarmusch, Mary Harron, Gregg Araki, and Todd Solondz.
- City of Lights, City of Angels fest, LA's torrid one-week affair with French film, has announced their lineup. It includes Sandrine Bonnaire's doc, "Her Name is Sabine," a portrait of the filmmaker's austic sister taken from 25 years of footage. Variety will also host Happy Hour Talks, a series of panels featuring fest filmmakers.
- I'm not really sure what the Los Angeles United Film Festival is all united about. From their website, it seems the fest was suddenly created by Jason Connell upon the completion of his first first feature length film "Strictly Background." He's also created New York United and Tulsa United fests. And wouldn't you know it - "Strictly Background" has played those fests, too.
