Opening Night
ILLEGAL [Illégal]
2010 Oscar Selection from Belgium

"[A] fascinating study of perseverance in the face of subhuman treatment." --Boyd Van Hoeij, Variety. Tania (Anne Coesens), a Russian immigrant living illegally in Belgium, is willing to do whatever it takes to prevent her son and herself from being deported. When Tania's illegal status is discovered, she is arrested and sent to a detention center, where she meets other illegals like herself, struggling to stay in their adopted homeland. Things soon spiral out of control when she claims a false name and finds herself in the middle of a complex deportation situation. Winner, Society of Dramatic Actors and Composers' SACD Prize, 2010 Cannes Directors' Fortnight.

DIR/SCR Olivier Masset-Depasse; PROD Jacques-Henri Bronckart, Olivier Bronckart. Belgium/Luxembourg/France, 2010, color, 95 min. In English, French and Russian with English subtitles.

Opening Night Screening: Thu, Nov 4, 7:00 (followed by reception sponsored by the European Union Delegation)

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

2010 photos: My office at the main Commerce Department building closed in October and I was shifted out to the Bureau of the Census in Suitland Maryland. It's good to have a job of course but that killed being able to see basically any cultural events during the day. There's basically nothing of interest that you can see around the Census building. Overnight trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90 until I got the S100fs ones repaired. At the end of the year I bought a Nikon D5000 but I returned it pretty quickly. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
