Photo: Kim Murphy / LA Times If you come from a small town, you live for the day when you can brag about your hometown to the Big City Folks. Make them spit out their sip of Drambuie with a tale that rocks their concrete jungle to its brittle, cementy core. For me, that day has come.

The most striking thing about wandering about on a first jet-lagged night was how rich the film culture is here compared to Los Angeles. And keep in mind, the doc fest doesn't launch for another day.
