	EI > Columns > Seattle International Film Festival 2005
		A request was made before the screening by the film festival administration and by the producers that no one leave during the screening.
		After establishing in the first few minutes of the film that these words and ideas were to be used, and used freely, in the next 80 minutes, their shock value evaporated, and so did the main premise of the movie.
		This film, and this joke, in this context, is not transgressive or subversive.

	Seattle International Documentary Film Festival
		The “art house” and “independent” theatres tend to be more open, but still the non-fiction film tends always to be evaluated against their fictional peers, rather than among each other or as themselves.
		Many of our films don’t line up with the ideological commitments of network news, don’t have subjects that would be deemed of interest to “the general viewer,” or dare to depict their worlds in an unconventional style.
		The answer is short and obvious---Seattle is a film city, historically rich in film and in the documentary culture.

		The film's political agenda is hidden in the beginning of the film behind a lot of well-shot sex scenes between Gustavo and his girlfriend, who has a habit of whoring for blue jeans.
		The film is factual about the realities of revolutionary Cuba: the AIDS internment camps, long lines, the imprisonment of dissidents, lack of jobs and the hypocrisies of socialism as Cuba desperately chases after foreign dollars.
		The absurdity of the affair builds with intensity throughout the film, culminating with a circus-like final scene where the greed and stupidity of the town is exposed.

		The Canadian film "Wild Dogs," on the other hand, pretends to be wicked with one of its plots involving porn in Bucharest, but then opens like a stunning flower.
		This near-perfect film compassionately portrays the lives of some of the city's numerous canines (Bucharest was once called "the city of dogs"), and uses them as a metaphor for all forms of strays and social outcasts.
		A film that could have been outstanding but was ultimately botched was "Overnight." It's the true story of a bartender who lands himself a $15 million budget for a film from his very first script -- and a record deal to boot.

		As the 29th Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) came to a conclusion Sunday night, I couldn’t help but think this quite possibly might be the best SIFF I’ve been to.
		The films this year were so strong and so diverse, that it was nigh impossible to not find something to just completely adore.

		The film also muddles parallels between history repeating itself and a boy's journey to existential fate, which is tangental and only belabors the point that this is a simple story about brothers who learn to need each other.
		The film's propagandistic selectivity overplays the role her accusations against the Bush administration played in her 2002 defeat, while ignoring the movement against her by the pro-Israel caucus for her support of Palestinian causes.
		Filmed over six years in a pediatric cancer ward, this film documents the ordeals of children undergoing painful and dangerous treatment for diseases that, too often, win out over their courage and optimism.

		I thought I'd try covering the Seattle Film Festival a little more blog-style rather than write the usual overview attempting to find the common thread among dozens or hundreds of films from around the world in one paragraph.
		So it isn't a great film to watch, but it is a kind of record of what people were saying as the wall went in.
		Yet, what the film shows clearly is how the government — contrary to its own regulations, in some cases — has made conscious decisions to squeeze money out of the fishermen.

This low-budget effort about a struggling, shallow L.A. actress who has nightmare auditions, gets rear-ended on a side street, and whose date discovers he's gay after copulating with her stars a sensational Naomi Watts.

		Film festivals have never been so popular, so pervasive, so—well—devalued by their sheer number.
		Today, SIFF cofounder and festival director Darryl Macdonald bemoans ‘the spread of the film festival virus,’ which has infected ‘every podunk town in America.’ Yet SIFF played its part in that growth, he notes, providing a studio-plus-art-film model that bigger fests have emulated then overshadowed.

		Their encounter is framed by gorgeous scenery and blooms into a film that is blessedly hard to predict; it's a compilation of genres and moods -- comic, romantic and threatening.
		As in "Spellbound," the real story lies in the characters of the film, kids from all races and cultures who pair off and learn to rumba, tango and swing, and it's most compelling when Angrelo gives the film over to their voices.

		All of his films are that way, it's definitely every one of his films is pretty much where he stands on life and what's the issue he's questioning about life at that moment.
		Because as good as the other films were, there was just something, it's hard to say, there's just something about the Clerks films that just stand out a little bit more than all of his other films.
		Where, to my eyes, they're still the same quality films, just with bigger budgets, and he still does a remarkable job of writing about characters and some of the stuff that people don't talk about in film, but yet people are thinking about.
