Best Actress (Irene Azuela)/CineLatino
A son, a daughter and their dying mother are caught between desire, death and yearnings for the future in the remarkably pungent "Burn the Bridges." Theater-trained helmer and co-writer Francisco Franco makes the leap into features with striking confidence, coming up with one of the few superior dramas in recent Mexican filmmaking. Top prizes nabbed at Morelia fest. (Variety - Robert Kohler)

Arts In Film/Best Arts In Film/Best Cinematography (Storaro)
Longoni's new bio-pic about Michalangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the supremely great and more-famous-than-ever late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Italian artist, premiered in a long version at Lincoln Center, is a glorious spectacle with a charismatic star. Marked by rich interiors, often lit as in Caravaggio's paintings, panoramic shots, sweeping music, and large cast, this is a pleasure to watch. Beautiful to look at and richly eventful, if conventional, the film never errs in tone.
Shorts Programs
A successful chef lives his life as he runs his kitchen, but his familiar regime of order and control is put to the test when unexpectedly he falls in love with one of his staff.
EcoCinema/Paseo de España
PASEO, EcoCinema, Food On Film Food focus don't get any tastier than "The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab." Following Spanish master chef Jesus Almagro as he prepares for the Bocuse d'Or, a top cooking contest, vet lenser-turned-docu helmer Jose Luis Lopez-Linares masters all the ingredients required for a delightful confection, achieving the perfect balance between a tense competition and likeable personalities. Docu is certain to become a staple on cooking channels, but before then, it could easily burst out of the fest circuit and onto select screens. (Variety)
Cinema of Conscience
Enduring maverick, emergent enigma, ever-evolving Hollywood legend: over the course of five decades, Clint Eastwood has managed to avoid the pitfalls of the star system and wrest creative control of nearly every aspect of the filmmaking process from the corporate powers-that-be. As a young contract player in the era of major studios, he champed at the bit for a chance to prove himself as an artist. Since then he has earned his stripes before and behind the camera: whether acting, producing, composing or directing, he remains unafraid to challenge audiences - continually surprising them and surpassing himself.
Arts In Film
