"Tech Support": Post-Festival Orientation

In the first Tech Support column of 2007, which ran three weeks ago, I mentioned how many apparent contenders for the upcoming Oscar season had already surfaced in films as varied as “Transformers,” “Spider-Man 3,” “Hairspray” and “Ratatouille.” But in a situation similar to that for the awards race as a whole, it turns out the Venice and Toronto film festivals have truly added a lot of heat to the crafts race fire. A great number of films seeking to be contenders have joined the ranks of the summer titles.
