It was a jam-packed five days as the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) went all out for its 10th anniversary, with more than 130 films shown at seven venues. The lineup included independent titles, spotlight films, and a ShortsFest Exhibition. The festival opened with Dead Man’s Wire and included revealing international stories; American Solitaire proved to be an intense drama delving into veteran and gun issues; there were an array of documentaries, a special look at costume design with Edith Head, and star-studded movies like Jay Kelly with George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup . Closing out the weekend were Sentimental Value and the traditional end of the festival: Some Like It Hot .
