Fourteen titles have been announced which are first and second features in competition for IFFR's top honor, the VPRO Tiger award. The Hungry Ghosts, the directorial debut of Sopranos actor and Goodfella's Spider (haha!) will be opening the fest. Simon Ellis's debut feature Dogging: A Love Story which we reported on here will also be playing. The story revolves around the risque sex scene that is dogging which I guess has to do with voyeurism. The list is a good mixture of film from all over the planet, but I have yet to go through the rest.

Check out the full list after the break. via Variety.
