Detailed entries note place, time (e.g., first week of November), background (a descriptive paragraph giving the flavor of the fest), major award winners (although the year is not specified), number of films, celebrity sightings, ticket prices, and, for filmmakers, how to enter a film, contact information, and deadline. Brief entries have an address and often include phone, fax, e-mail, URL, and entry deadline and/or date of festival. Everything's here, from the big and famous (Cannes) to the small and specialized (Insect Fear Film Festival). Six interviews with festival directors are scattered throughout, and a final chapter is a guide to the best art-house movie theaters in more than 100 cities worldwide. The index follows the same arrangement as the rest of the book, with the various festivals grouped under chapter titles. An index listing all the festivals in a single alphabet would be a useful feature in the next edition; as it is, there is no way to locate the Insect Fear Film Festival without first knowing that it takes place in North America (Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, to be exact). Also useful would be a detailed geographic index. Although the book is arranged in broad geographic areas, it is not possible to look up more specific locations, such as Pennsylvania or France. Despite these shortcomings, any library with travel or film reference collections will want to consider adding this guide.
