Maria:Well, I think it is rather appropriate for me to begin our discussion⑤. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. It is an annual festival that began in 1932. Our festival is part of a larger festival which applauds⑥ contemporary art⑦. We view film as⑧ a particular type of contemporary art.
Host: Kathy, please tell us about the Sundance Film Festival.
Kathy: Unlike⑨ the Venice Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival only includes small, independent films. That is, the main criterion⑩ for being included is that the film must not be financed⑪ by Hollywood studios.
Maria: Kathy, I don't like to argue, but in defence of⑫ the Venice Film Festival, I have to point out that we don't just have Hollywood films. Our policy is to include highquality films, regardless of who makes them. We make no restrictions⑬ on the kinds of films we show⑭ - as long as a film's quality meets our standards, we include it.
⑤It is appropriate for sb. to do sth. 表示"做某事对某人来说是合适的"。
