It's Over!
To all 536 participants:
This is by far the craziest March Around the World we've had in the past 12 years. We had almost 5 times more participants! Why is that so great? You are part of an extraordinary group of people who just contributed 7,352 reviews for films of the world to letterboxd in one single month.
7,352 reviews for world cinema.
Let that sink in.
No matter how you contributed, whether with reviews, ratings, lists, likes, comments, you were part of something pretty amazing and I think every single participant should get a high five, a slap on the shoulder, a huge smile and a nod of respect.
To the 27% of you (146) who completedโฆ

And to the 56 fans who watched 30 films, congratulations! Watching that many films in one month is not easy. Sometimes it isn't even fun... but, no matter what, you have 30 less on your watchlist and hopefully many added to the "rewatch" list.

Congratulations to all, I hope you had fun, I know it's tough but we do what we gotta do to promote subtitles.
And of course, none of this would happen without those who help me get the data, count the data, fix the data, edit the data, read the data and interpret the data.
Oh, and some of you would not have won the challenge without their, um, 'fixing' your errors ;-)
The hugest MERCI to you kind and generous film buffs:

*********** Original Challenge Info and Rules ****************
World Cinema, here we come again! And we are all stopping in on Mexico this year. Spread the word. Invite friends to travel with you. Get that family member, you know the one, to watch at least one film that is from 'away'.
There are rules to win the challenge (and it is not easy), but most of us are just happy to watch a few more films from other countries than usual, and that is always a win.
The published 2024 spreadsheet.
****************************************************
The Challenge
(note new tag: maw2024)
Watch and review 30 feature films from 30 different countries in the month of March. No rewatches. Must include 1 film from Mexico. Please read the rules.
Rules
1. Feature films only (60+ min)
2. No re-watches.
3. Only films watched, logged and reviewed in March 2024 count.
4. Log and tag your films immediately after watching, with 2 tags: maw2024 and the (single) selected country of the film, from the LB list of countries. You can add your review later by going to the log and editing it.
5. To count, a review needs to be somewhat substantial in that it has to show that you have seen the film. One liners do not count. Think more along the lines of 150 words +
