Editorial: Good morning sunshine

As the festival proceeds with its menu of films, one starts to wonder whether too much attention is paid to stars.

The complaint is that there are too many stars. Festivals have turned into promotional gatherings instead of dealing with the art and the culture of film.

Those who oppose say that stars are what make festivals so important. Stars make the entertainment business go round. I don't mind that, but I say that film festivals are equally crucial to the industry.

It's time to understand that as cinema is made of a whole lot of elements, just like life itself, these elements have to be present in our world. Why should we knock down one and praise another? While festivals are supposed to bring in the best of films from all over the world, it's also important to be part of the glamour. This can only obtained by inviting the glamour in.
