Fests and events, 10/17.

The Hamptons International Film Festival opens tomorrow and also runs through Sunday.

IndieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez looks back on the Woodstock Film Festival and Brian Brooks files another dispatch from Busan, focusing on the first annual Asian Film Market.

Still coming in from the New York Film Festival:

• Aaron Hillis wraps his coverage at Premiere with his takes on Pan's Labyrinth, that "magnificent and moving horror-fantasy for adults," and Inland Empire, "my favorite film of the entire festival and the year (thus far)... a viscerally unrivaled love letter to the transformative powers of cinema that can't be controlled nor comprehended."

• Acquarello on Poison Friends, "an intelligent and insightful, if oddly sterile and empirically rendered chronicle of academic life as seen through the perspective of a loose knit group of university-aged students." Also, "Climates exquisitely (and indelibly) maps a spare, elegiac, and achingly intimate meditation on the ephemeral seasons of the human heart."

• At Not Coming to a Theater Near You, Leo Goldsmith on Our Daily Bread and The Journals of Knud Rasmussen.

At Midnight Eye, Eija Niskanen looks back on this years edition of the Pia Film Festival, "one of the most important channels of nurturing new talent for Japanese cinema."
