Welcome back to History of Film Festivals in 100 Movies — the show where we explore cinema not just through films… but through the festivals that gave them life.
Because films don't just appear.
They travel.
They struggle.
They find their audiences — often one screening at a time.
Today's episode takes us somewhere a little different. Not Berlin. Not Sundance. We've already covered most of the Top Tier festivals.
But to Morgan Hill, and Gilroy California…for the pjiff, which kicks off this week…April 8th
a festival built on a radically simple idea:
What if film festivals weren't about exclusivity, but about inclusion?
And to tell that story, we're following a film that embodies the indie spirit:
"The Grand Bolero" —
a haunting, intimate debut feature from Italian filmmaker Gabriele Fabbro.
