You know a film festival has a reputation as one of the world's premiere movie events when it gets credit for movies it didn't play.

Consider this quote from the Australian newspaper The Age, in a glowing profile of "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle:

" 'Slumdog Millionaire' made its mark at the last Sundance Film Festival, where its zingy style must have stood out among the drabs and check-shirt sagas of American indie cinema."

Only problem: "Slumdog Millionaire" didn't play at Sundance. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
