Summary: A brilliant distillation of expert views on key fests
Comment: I don't know when this fest guide came out, but it's a revelation. As an indie film producer and festgoer, I've waded through all of the hype and junk on festivals. They fall into two categories; either they're stodgy and dry or they're filled with crap about where to go dancing and/or be seen. Festivals cost a lot of money and time to attend and thank God the experts at Variety have cut through the nonsense and delivered a book that is timely, informed and concise. This festival guide cuts to the chase. Also, having been around the intl. fest scene, I know the names like Peter Cowie, David Stratton, Gerald Pratley, Derek Elley, et al. These people know their fests and they can't be bought off, which I suspect is the case with some of the nonsense I've read in books that supposedly help you "survive" fests.

Summary: Total snoozefest! Helpful only if you're a complete bore!
Comment: This has to be one of the most boring books I've ever read. Follow this book, and you'll end up waiting tables in no time. The film festival guide by Chris Gore is a much better, more informative read. Avoid this snoozefest!

Summary: INACCURATE, THIN ON USEFUL INFORMATION
Comment: I expected quite a bit more from the staff of Variety but this compilation of articles reprinted from the archives of Variety lacks focus. It is unclear who this books is for -- the filmmaker or the traveller? The thin content satisfies neither. In addition, there are glaring inaccuracies in the listings and appendix such as the phone number for the Sundance Film Festival, which is wrong. How could they get this number wrong?! Also, the book is only a paltry 197 pages, not the 288 pages mentioned in the book description. Buyer beware.
