we have travelled to the key film festivals of recent days, where this year's oscars race have been taking shape. it is a risky film, and for them to validate it means so much to me. from the venice film festival, we hearfrom maggie gyllenhaal, who took home the prize for her screenplay for her directorial debut. and the new zealand director jane campion win in venice for her psychological study and western, the power of the dog. it showed off the talents of its star benedict cumberbatch. i was terrified of meeting jane. you know. she was coming with all the respect i have for her iconic work. and we report from the telluride and toronto film festivals, where an animated documentary, flee, chronicling the plight of an afghan refugee from kabul from 25 years ago was a very solid hit. what this story does is it shows what it can do to human beings to be on the run, to flee, and how you can move on. the telluride film festival, which took place earlier this month here, is a real movie lover's event. now in its 48th year.
