SIFF — The Future, Kosmos
ironymaiden purchases a Full Series Pass to the Seattle International Film Festival, which annually pretty much takes over cinephilic Seattle for a month or so. This year, however, unexpected family travel at the other side of the continent means she won't be able to take her SIFF vacation this year. The good side is that she has bequeathed her Full Series Pass to me. (Yes, she's that kind of awesome, and then some.) Her asking price: that I blog a bit about the films I see at SIFF. Although the festival proper doesn't begin until the 19th, advance press screenings of selected festival entries began yesterday. And since the pass allows me to attend those as well, I managed to sit in on two of yesterday's three press-preview films: Miranda July's The Future, and Reha Erdem's Turkish/Bulgarian Kosmos. I blog a bit about them at Open the Pod Bay Doors, Hal.
Thank you, Jennifer. You are indeed the embodiment of awesome.
