While I’m not able to keep up with the lineup stats of every fest, I’d guess that more typically, domestic or international, the breakdown seems to be 75% fiction, 25% nonfiction. For some fests, it inches closer to 50/50. To have more docs than fiction in a general (vs doc-specific) event seems unusual, but a welcome indication of the strength of docs and of the interest of programmers and their audience.

I was hoping you might respond as to whether that a trend that you’ve noticed in film festivals in the States, vs. abroad, or just at this venue?
