[KineJapan] Indiewire's list of best documentary film festivals

[Quentin Turnour]

Much more likely its just not on their radar, for the reasons that Abe 
Marcus Nornes has commented about - sharply - in various places over the 
years, such as in his piece the recent BFI Documentary anthology. It's a 
pretty dumb list, actually. IDFA and Nyon are the only Euro fests, Tel 
Aviv seems to be the only outside of the Euro/America-sphere. Sheffield, 
CPH:DOX, Yunnan (...or at least one of the Chinese fests...) and Yogakarta 
are stand-out omissions for me, but others will have their own.

The only thing you can do with these things is to try to improve the 
quality of the conversation, as Eija did, by bombing the comments section.

Best wishes

Quentin Turnour, Manager, Arc Canberra Cinema Programs,

If we were to be generous, one could say that since the article is really 
an announcement of the lineup of the 2014 Full Frame Documentary Film 
Festival, it is emphasizing festivals held in 2014. (YIDFF will not be 
held this year.) So perhaps they are just prioritizing festivals that are 
held annually, which Yamagata is not.

Did anyone see this, and wonder why YIDFF was not included?
