Film Festival Releases

Film festival releases are those new films with a buzz that get a preview or a full-blown release at a festival. Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionnaire, for instance, was released at the TIFF in Toronto in 2008.

Articles here mainly provide reviews of these, such as independent movies like Kevin Asch's Holy Rollers, or Gavin Weisen's tale of teenage angst, The Art of Getting By.Other articles in Film Festival Releases introduce readers to the programme of new releases being featured by specific events, or new work by iconic directors such as Werner Herzog.
