Translate Film Festival Programme Notes
Festival programme notes love words like meditative and liminal, which tell you nothing about whether you will enjoy the film. This strips them back: what each film is really about in two sentences, the tone and mood, and what kind of viewer it suits. For anyone planning their festival schedule without watching blind.
