These were 'the transition years' as the festival merged into its big sister, the Phoenix Film Festival, and it was forced to reinvent itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by the realisation many of his reviews of festival films were the \u003ci\u003eonly\u003c\/i\u003e reviews that existed online and that some films had no presence left on the internet, as if they had never been, he aimed to review every film that played this festival, which holds a special place in his heart, and to compile these reviews into book form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, whatever else it is, is a line in the sand to say that these films existed, that they played a festival, were seen by an audience, even won awards. Hopefully reading about them here will keep some of them alive because no film deserves to die.
