Just put it in my 'to watch' list Bob! Zeitgeist also brought 'Nowhere in Africa' here, and I watched it twice- thought it was excellent. We get guest speakers when the Brisbane International Film Festival (spelling BIFF- how unfortunate..) comes round, and that's an experience, but for the rest of the year the scene's pretty droughty. Just as well though.. pretty much need all that time to save up for tickets (and boy does that add up)..
