Variety is the showbusiness bible and its International Guide is indispensable to industry insiders and fans alike. Now in its 39th year, the Variety International Film Guide is the world's most respected annual on global film-making. With lavishly illustrated reports from more than 70 countries, the Guide offers a unique survey of trends, achievements, and personalities during the past year. As usual the Guide selects five Directors of the Year. The World Box Office Survey lists the top ten most popular films in 45 countries. Further updated sections devoted to Film Festivals, Film Schools, Film Archives, and Film Music make this an indispensable source for reading and reference.
