Siena International Short Film Festival, November 1998

The Siena International Short Film Festival, headed up by Piero Clemente, was generous enough to invite me for a one week stay in the beautiful medieval city of Siena, with Women Are Not Little Men. The third edition of this annual festival attracted guests from all over Europe and a few from North America. The Italians make excellent hosts, with all the delicious cuisine and fine wines, plus tours to the fantastic Tuscan countryside. Three different distributors were interested in representing the film after seeing it in Siena. New York's Forefront Films, Italy's Village, and Belgium's asap. But in the end, Hazy Pictures decided to continue distributing the film itself.
