MONTREAL -- Vladimir Alenikov's The Gun is the only American entry among the 19 films that will compete for top honors this year at the Montreal World Film Festival, festival organizers said Tuesday. A total of 224 feature-length films -- including 115 world premieres -- are to unspool at the festival, Aug. 27-Sept. 7. Alenikov's Gun is described as a dramatic thriller that documents a brief moment in the "life" of a gun and the people who must have it. Other films in the world competition section include Spain's 4th Floor, by director Antonio Mercero; Romania's Bless You, Prison, by director Nicolae Margineanu; and two films from Serbia/Montenegro, Dusan Kovacevic's The Professional and Goran Markovic's The Cordon.
