Not unlike other years, 2011 had its share of particular titles that dominated cinematic conversations (though I don’t recall ever having had more conversations about a new film than The Tree of Life), with the end of the year heralding shoe-in awards fodder for hotly anticipated, overbearing biopics, starring Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams.

The most internationally acclaimed film of the ceremony was without doubt Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Attenberg, and surprisingly the Academy decided to nominate it for only 4 awards. Just like her Best Leading Actress award in Venice, Ariane Labed claimed the only prize for the film. Nevertheless, the Film Academy decided to select Attenberg as the official submission of Greece for the 2012 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Some major Venice, TIFF, NYFF titles have been added to Sundance including high quality premium titles in Attenberg, Meek's Cutoff and Submarine. Gregg Araki will once again have had the chance to showcase his films at top fest on the circuit, his latest film Kaboom which was shown at Cannes and TIFF will find it's final fest presentation in Park City. Denis Villeneuve will deliver one extra push before the Oscars (Incendies is a top tier pick among all the nominees). Mumblecore member Joe Swanberg is also in the section but with a world premiere of his film.
