RE: (TV) tom in ghent

You know anything others don't know? That Keith is a left-winger? A 
political fanatic?

For those who might contemplate to travel to Ghent to see Smith and 
Verlaine, I can say that the film festival in question is, in fact, a huge 
event. I attended the film critics jury six years ago. It was big then, and 
as far as I know, it has grown even bigger ever since. One movie section 
concentrates on film music. To my surprise, people like Peter Greenaway, 
Sydney Pollack and Christopher Lee ate their breakfast among us journalists 
in the hotel restaurant. Lousy Swedish director David Flamholc was seen 
charming actress Amanda Plummer, who should have known better.

Completely OT - but anyway: who thought that my little Swedish town would 
get this kind of international press coverage:
