Seattle International Film Festival

Its fest time in Seattle, my first chance to attend a festival I had heard so much about in the past. Its actualy day 5 now, and its been great so far. The films have been good, the crowds are great, and the fest is setup really well. My only big complaint is that the theatres are scattered all hell and gone over town, so getting around can be a chore, esp if your screenings are close together. Thankfully I have not had that problem, and everything has gone smoothly. I have also had a chance to experience the legendary Secret Festival, and while I wasn't thrilled with the film they showed, I still love the concept.

Below is a preliminary schedule, subject to change (hopefully only additions.) Grades will be appearing on my Films Seen List before any commentary appears here, and as anyone who checks know the content could stop flowing anytime.
