Palm Springs 2012 - Initial Films Announced

It's that festive time of year again, and lots of folks are anxious to start making a list and checking it twice. No, I'm not referring to that jolly heavyset fellow that so many parents set the seeds for a lifetime of distrust with their children about.  But people lucky enough to attending the Palm Springs International Film Festival.  Scheduled to run from January 5th through the 16th they'll announce the full slate of films later this week.  Over the last few days there have been press releases over the various celebs that will be honored at the festival.  While some of these tributes are very interesting I'm more keen to get a peek at the films appearing throughout the main festival.  Thankfully today some of the silence was broken with a press release detailing some of the goodies.

As always there's a significant focus on films submitted by their home country for the Foreign Language Oscar competition.  This year 40 of the 63 submissions will be available for attendees to view.  The press release also detailed a number of other movies, bringing the publicly disclosed list to 69 (best I can count at least).

Below I've listed all of the films I could locate announced to date - along with a link to the movie's IMDB page(where available). In the next day or two I'll post some notes on the five films I've already seen. But in short you'll probably want to save some time for Bullhead, Le Havre, Elite Squad, and Almanya.
