A propos of other films festivals not given much attention I believe that
the Spanish film <Cancion de Cuna> directed by Jose Luis Garci won several
prizes at the recently concluded Montreal Film Festival, but I have no
idea for what categories or what other films might have received an award.
 Does anyone have more information on the Montreal Film Festival?
