This year’s festival, with the theme “˜Watch Different’, will be screening 144 feature films, up from 87 last year. “[We] want to challenge filmgoers to start exploring films they would not normally consider; hence for them to “˜watch different’,” Geoffrey Malone, chairman and founder of SIFF said in a press statement.
