The 25-day Festival, which began May 17, featured over 460 films from more than 70 countries, including 65 feature premieres (24 World, 25 North American, 16 U.S.) and over 700 screenings. Additionally, Siff brought in more than 300 directors, actors and industry professionals.

The R&B singer was the talk of much of the music world in 2011, with the 62 year old singer seemingly coming out of nowhere to drop his debut (!) album No Time For Dreaming, to widespread critical acclaim, with the disc landing on many year end top ten lists. But the journey of how he got there, and how he was making first steps as a musician when many acts are retiring, is all covered in the documentary by Poull Brien.
