That was one of the issues.

And I mean, I think, you know, it's interesting.

talking about festivals because they have to try and draw in, obviously, kind of like eyeballs and media.

And at the same time, there's an art form at its center trying to be celebrated and championed.

Its competition is very strong, high profile kind of lineup.

But there's also those guest stars that drop in and kind of provide those red carpet moments.

john travolta um whose film i thought was going to be terrible but was actually fantastic uh called propeller one way night coach was probably the most high profile can is expensive and that is one of the reasons one of the studios i think stayed away uh the other thing about it is is that your reviews can kill you you know you can go thinking you're bringing a film with lots and lots of stars but you can be cut down as you said by this thing they might actually want to be on the

carpet.

Barbara stayed away as well, which was a great shame.

Barbara Streisand, sorry, I should obviously give her her entire title.

This is fantastic.

This is absolutely I loved this.

This is called Hen.

It's called Hen.

It's by a Hungarian filmmaker called Jorge Palfi and actually you've

Woman I met on a jury a long time ago is edited.

And I think mentioning the editing is crucial because the hen, you know, sort of escapes and wanders off in this kind of mad adventure and is played by eight different hens.

There's no CGI and we literally just follow it and how it interacts.
