Fwd: Cannes FIPRESCI Awards

[Aaron Gerow]

For those curious, the YIDFF office forwarded me FIPRESCI's official 
announcement of its award to _Eureka_ at Cannes.  While I have noticed 
that FIPRESCI awards can seemingly be influenced by the consitution of 
the jury (with a member helping back a film from that member's country, 
etc.), there was no jury member from Japan this time.
