The 2004 festival opened with the UK premiere of Che Guevara biopic
The Motorcycle Diaries and wrapped up with a Korean retelling of Liasons Dangereuse,
Untold Scandal, which replaced the much-touted
2046 after it turned out that it would not be finished in time.
Crowdpleasers included
Super Size Me (which also won the Guardian New Directors Award for Morgan Spurlock) and
Inside I'm Dancing, which took the Audience Award. The Michael Powell Award went to
My Summer Of Love.
Short film winners included
Billy's Day Out and
Brand Spanking. Short Scottish Documentary Award went to Jim Hickey for And So Goodbye.
