The ten-day festivalscreened 250 titles from 42 countries but was marred by persistentdisorganisation and a lack of communication between the press office and thecinema staff that verged on chaos. Despite assurances that press passes werevalid for entry, journalists found themselves turned away from many publicscreenings and with no recourse to press screenings.
