Film Festivals

29th Cairo International Film Festival to begin next month. If you listen to the local press, you think it better than the Oscars. Morgan Freeman is supposed to be a guest of the festival.

2nd Dubai International Film Festival opens next month. Supposed to bring Hollywood & Bollywood together. This is one tall order, considering that there is more Bollywood in Dubai than in India. And yes, Morgan Freeman is showing up there as well.

Australian Film Institute Awards currently in Melbourne (Nov. 24 - 29). Don't know if Freeman is there or not.

French TV will remake "Starsky and Hutch" as "Duval et Madani". I know this is not a film festival, but it kind of goes there.
