The Seattle International Film Festival came and went again this year. I actually saw very few films this time around. Partly that was because I had a lot of work scheduled during the festival, and partly it was because I just wasn't grabbed by many of the films as I browsed the listings.
Another influence was the traffic. The very first film I attempted to see was a documentary on the Earth Liberation Front - I allowed over 90 minutes to make what is usually a 25 minute drive outside rush hour and still didn't get there. After that, I decided I wasn't prepared to spend 2 hours sitting in the car to watch any film that started between 5pm and 8pm, and vetoed the lot. (As it happened, I wouldn't have seen the documentary anyway, because that showing was stopped due to a bomb scare, but the principal of the traffic stood.)
( So for my own filing system, and anyone else who might be remotely interested, here are the 5 films I did see. )
