The most marked feature of the festival this year is the number of films by independent film-makers. To the large group of independent Japanese films by both new and established directors already announced there has now been added the Oshima feature, "Dear Summer Sister.” There are also several independent films from America. In the Established Directors section are Paul Morrissey’s “Heat,” James Ivory’s “Savages,” Horton Foote’s adaptation of Faulkner's short stsry “Tomorrow,” directed by Joseph Anthony, and "Film Portrait,” an autobiographical film by experimental film - maker Jerome Hill. The seven British films so far invited to participate are all independent films, too. They are “Dynamo,” directed by Steve Dwoskin; Christopher Mason’s "AU the Advantages”; “The Phoenix and the Turtle,” directed by Luigi Chiappini; Jane Arden’s “The Other Side of the Underneath”; James Scott’s “Adult Fun”; Bill Douglas’s "My Childhood"; and “Jazz Is Our Religion." a documentary about jazz produced iand directed by John Jeremy,
