        I think that Ms. Monti has a point.  Why DOES Cannes get all the
media attention, while other more deserving festivals (including Venice
and Sundance among others) are noticeably lacking in coverage?
Furthermore, has anyone else noticed the scarcity of black filmmakers
represented at Cannes year in and year out - Mr. Lee excluded?
