Festival poster and controversy right|120px The festival's poster depicted a film festival "Eyeball guy" concept, developed originally by marketing manager Nick Zuppar and graphic designer Amy Milhinch. A small controversy arose when a similar poster design was employed for the 28th Durban International Film Festival (20 June to 1 July 2007). After discussions, the coincidence was eventually put down to "synchronicity".
