What an eclectic line-up this year. Seemed most major film making nations had an entry - from Cuba came the Oscar Winning "Strawberries and Chocolate", from Spain, the twisted treat that was "Accion Mutante", Russia produced the Academy Award winner "Burnt By The Sun", France gave us a taste of gypsy life in "Latcho Drom" while Belgium fronted with the sumptuous "Farinelli", Taiwan entered the charming "Eat Drink Man Woman" and from Hong Kong came the erotically charged "Sex and Zen". Denmark's Lars Von Trier introduced his darkly humourous soap "The Kingdom" (pictured).
