To complicate matters - and reassert the notion that nature waits not for independent fi lm - it snowed some ten feet in ten days. Inspirational Australian biopic SHINE was one highlight that went on to capture the public consciousness, as did BIG NIGHT, a collaboration between two actors-turned-directors, and Camp- bell Scott. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision was awarded to regular Dianne Wiest, and the Festival featured a retrospective of the fi lms of American storyteller William Wellman.
