The festival published some interesting statistics about this year's version:

Some highlights:
- 312 films and shorts (down from 352 last year) from a total of 4209 submissions.
- 116 world premiers, 32 international premiers, and 89 North American premieres. Not sure what the definition of "world" vs "international" is.
- 61 directors will be screening their first films.
- The longest film at this year's festival is 262 minutes, down from 540 last year (the 9-hour Death in the Land of Encantos).

If I remember correctly:
A World Premiere means the first showing, ever.
An International Premiere is the first showing outside the films home country.
