Slate
Films hitting the road
There are few of them, and that is the point. A short slate is the only way to know each film closely enough to see where it should go.
Every film here has a route of its own: a festival map built for that film, letters written by us to programmers by name, materials and subtitles prepared before the deadline rather than after it.
