Antonia (Brazil). 8 Mile but with four girls playing the part of Rabbit. I liked 8 Mile so I didn't write that to be mean. I liked this movie too. It's maybe a bit too much of a happy feel-good ending, but given the lives these girls are living, you really want them to have a happy ending.
Short: The Girl Who Swallowed Bees. Paul McDermott was there to introduce his latest poem-rendered-in-surreal-animation-with-people movie. He seemed a bit more comfortable on stage this year.
Hallam Foe (UK) A peeping tom obsessed with the death of his Mother, moves to Edinburgh and finds happiness with a girl who looks just like her. And, it's funny. A modern Vertigo. You'd like it a lot.
