March 19, 2012 – Monday 10 am – Sorrento, Italy – Villa Dei Principi di Sorrento
I saw the screen turn black, the lights in the hotel's conference room also turned back on. I and the other judges have just finished watching a full feature film submission in the conference room – turned – mini cinema. Well, no matter how famous the actors are in the film we just saw, I don't care. I'm throwing that film to the trash bin. It's a watchable film, but it will not be competing for awards this year. Well, except if the rest of the submissions are worse and unwatchable.
