HOW IT HAPPENED: the opening day started with screening of "The legend of Sky Kingdom" and ended with the screening and USA premier of the film, "Critical Assignment," a thriller that packed both entertainment and humanitarian message. After the screening, there was a question and answer session as the audience took on the Film makers and actors one on one. At the end of the Question and answer session, attendees and dignitaries moved to the 10th floor of the Lincoln Plaza where they were treated an after party. This afforded the attendees the film makers more time to interact. There was enough drink and food to go round after which the DJ took over as the attendees danced away all night. The festival will continue to run according to the following schedule: Walter Reade Theater, April 3-15, and at Bam Cinematek, Bam Rose Cinemas April 23-25. Other Festival highlightsinclude: “Loving, Living & Fighting ...
