This year's AFI Fest Presented by Audi has ended. It was the first time I volunteered to help out with this festival and I had a great time. I only got a chance to see only one film, "Melancholia" but it was something I was really looking forward in seeing and it was well worth getting the opportunity to see it early.
This really is a terrific festival dedicated to world cinema and a wonderful experience. If you missed it, please be sure to check it out next year.
Here is a list of all of the award winners:
