It's the 10th anniversary of March Around the World! I'll be posting decade-type stats in the comments as we go. Should be fun.
The spreadsheet is up!
New this year: A March Around the World Archive Page where you will find all things relevant to previous challenges, including links to the previous spreadsheets, recommendation lists, etc. Use that list to help populate your lists!
This year's feature country is Egypt. Remember to filter out short films and films you have already seen.
*** The Challenge***
Watch and review 30 feature films from 30 different countries in the month of March including 1 film from Egypt.

*** The Challenge***
Watch and review 30 feature films from 30 different countries in the month of March including 1 film from Egypt.
The Rules
(Please avoid backdating logs. Better to log as you watch and then edit the log for ratings/reviews later).
1. Feature films only (60+ min)
2. No re-watches.
3. Only films watched, logged and reviewed in March 2023 count.
4. Log your films with 2 tags: 30 countries 2023 and the (single) selected country of the film. Use the same country-names as Letterboxd.
5. To count, a review needs to be somewhat substantial in that it has to show that you have seen the film. One liners do not count. Think more along the lines of 150 words +
The following participant lists (optional), diary entries and reviews are here: If you don't see yours, check that it is tagged properly.

* if your list, log or review doesn't show up in these links, it isn't tagged properly and will not count.
If you don't think you can complete the challenge, join anyway and watch a few foreign films. It's less about winning and more about watching cinema from around the world during the month. Thanks to Berken for creating the original challenge back in 2013.
