Secret Festival #3
SIFF's capsule summary: "Seattle's most exclusive film club. See movies that no other audience (anywhere!) can watch."
SIFF link: Secret Festival #3
The whole point of the Secret Festival is that people who see them sign a pledge not to discuss the films with anyone except others who have signed the pledge. So I'm not telling what film showed.
Although I'm not allowed to reveal what the film was, I can say whether I liked it. As a selection for Secret, I thought it was a good choice, but I wasn't all that impressed with the film.
Overall, I rate the film fair.
Languages: Secret.
Rating: Secret.
Screening: 7 pm, SIFF Cinema at the Egyptian.
Audience: mostly full crowd, 575 seats (450 main, 125 balcony).
Snacks: none.
Ads and announcements:
- SIFF 2019 trailer - I only recognize a few of the films featured in this one, so far.
- Thank you, volunteers - Time for applause.
- in-person announcement - Beth Barrett introduced the film, with a stronger than usual request to honor the secrecy pledge.
- Guess the cinematic dish clip - This series of guess-the-film clips are pretty good, but they could use more of them to be less repetitious.
Notes to myself:
SIFF statistics: 82 films (64 features, 18 shorts), 66 time slots, five parties. (I've seen 11 features "J" missed, and she's seen nine features and eight shorts that I missed, so I've seen two more features than she has. She also saw one feature twice, which reduces the difference by one, if that counts. She skipped one of the parties.)
