The schedule included "Me You and Everyone We Know," screening for the first time since it's Cannes award haul, and which understandably picked up both the audience and directors prize in Newport. Another two-fisted winner was the cringingly good "The Forest for the Trees" which claimed the dramatic feature prize and a best actress award for Eva Löbau. Lily Oei reports from Newport, R.I.
