Minh Nguyen-Bo's Buffalo Boy, a coming-of-age tale set in French Indochina, earned the FIPRESCI Award for best foreign-language film of the year -- an honor voted by a jury of international film critics -- at the 17th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, which closed Sunday. According to fest organizers, the final tally for attendance is expected to reach 112,000 attendees, with boxoffice grosses of $800,000, up 10% from last year. The fest featured 232 films from 71 countries. "We were overwhelmed by the growth of this year's festival as we continue to set boxoffice and attendance records," festival chairman Earl Greenburg said.
