A blessing has come my way as I have been asked to be an independent jury member (SIGNIS) for the Festroia Film Festival in Setubal, Portugal.
The festival runs from September 4th thru September 13th and focuses mainly on films from countries that release comparitively few films annually (i.e. there are no films in the official competition from countries such as France, Italy, Germany, Spain, U.K., Russia, U.S., etc.).
I'm looking forward to this wonderful opportunity and will post more about the films and the festival in the near future...
