History

2008 • 34th edition

From 5th to 14th Sep­tem­ber 2008.
Ded­i­cat­ed to the recent­ly depart­ed Syd­ney Pol­lack, the 2008 Fes­ti­val pre­sent­ed a com­plete col­lec­tion of the films shot by anoth­er direc­tor close to the Festival’s its heart, Spike Lee. As a com­ple­ment to the enthu­si­as­tic and movie-lov­ing trib­utes that the Fes­ti­val ded­i­cat­ed to Park­er Posey, Ed Har­ris, and Mitchell Leisen, a new sec­tion, “Wide Angle”, shone a spot­light on the indi­vid­ual work of a fig­ure from Amer­i­can cin­e­ma: for its first year, “Wide Angle” wel­comed the direc­tor Charles Bur­nett.
