An Overly Quantitative View of Palm Springs

Slow day today - maybe which is why I sat down and entered the complete list (I hope) of films showing at Palm Springs. By my count I get 191 films, not including the new secret screening entry. As befitting the "international" part of the festival's title 62 countries are represented. A histogram counting the number of films from each country is included with the post (just click to blow it up to readable proportions). The top contributing countries with at least 5 films are listed below. Not a lot of huge surprises - though I think India may have fared better than in years past. If for some reason you're looking the list of films by country in a simple format (I typed the whole mess into Excel) just shoot me a note by email or in the comments.
  • USA - 27
  • United Kingdom - 12
  • France - 9
  • Australia - 9
  • Italy - 8
  • Canada - 6
  • Germany - 6
  • Austria - 5
  • Belgium - 5
  • Spain - 5
  • Sweden - 5
  • India - 5
