Program in Focus
General feature and documentary sections still comprised a large part of the 1993 MIFF program. However as the focus on retrospective films that dominated MIFF's earlier programs diminished, a more topical and regional focus started to appear, as short films were grouped into categories including Austrian Experimental, Architecture and Design, Science, Thai Experimental, Indonesian short films. The program also featured Tanner '88 directed by Robert Altman.
