changed films instead people
There's going to be a lot of films in there that people are just not going to like at all. That's part of the deal. I don't think it's changed. What has changed is now, instead of 350 people there, as it was the first year, there's 40,000, 45,000.
program
We don't program (the festival) for commerciality. We program for diversity.
