             <title>iPOP at the AFI Fest 2004</title>
             <description><![CDATA[The AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival, or AFI Fest, took place in L.A. November 4-14, roughly coinciding with the American Film Market (AFM). The AFI Fest set up once again at the Arclight Theater, which most seemed to agree is a great place to see films. As usual, parties were a feature of the film festival experience, and the soiree for "The Woodsman" at the Beverly Hills home of music mogul Damon Dash was a highlight, as well as other late night happenings at Schwabs (the reputed place where Lana Turner was discovered -- although this is a new incarnation of the establishment), not to mention the festival venue, The Loft. Brian Brooks reports. (Nov 16, 2004)]]></description>

             <description><![CDATA[Small companies; small films. This description best suits the handful of indie titles coming to theaters this week. But what's the old adage: there's no small roles, only small actors? The same could probably be said for movies, but even small films remain unfortunately small by virtue of their brief lifespan in theaters. It's the sad fact of the business of art.; Catch 23 Entertainment President Jeremy Barber has announced the acquisition of worldwide film rights to Garth Ennis' comic book, "Just a Pilgrim". And, winners for the recent inaugural Levi's Toronto  International Teen Movie Festival which showcased films from teens were announced by event organizers. (Nov 07, 2001)]]></description>
