Venice Film Festival, 1994: Leone d'Oro to: *Vive l'Amour*-- Taiwan *Before the Rain*--Macedonia (you might consider that Eurocentric, but at least is not Western Europe). What I can say about Venice is that the selection of films shown is not exclusively Eurocentric. Cannes? Well, you know who won the Palme (sp?) d'Or last year. :-( Gloria Monti
