Highlights included The World's Fastest Indian, starring Anthony Hopkins, Mother of Mine, Finland's entry to the Academy Awards, The Bituminous Coal Queens of Pennsylvania, produced by Patricia Heaton, and scenes from the late Theo Van Gogh's controversial short film, Submission.

Attendees included several renowned stars and filmmakers, including Gary Sinise, Patricia Heaton, Tony Shalhoub, Bob Gale and Lionel Chetwynd. For an idea of what kind of movies and shorts we are looking for, read our mission statement.
