Notable recent themes
- AI, ethics, and representation are recurring topics in festival lineups and talks, with programmers highlighting innovative storytelling alongside debates about algorithmic curation and access. If you want, I can locate particular festival statements or guest speakers on this theme. [industry coverage summaries]

- If you want, I can provide a concise, cited summary of recent winners, juries, and opening/closing films for the festival you care about.
- I can also set up a quick comparison table of recent festival highlights (opening film, top prize, audience award, notable guest) across several events.
