(SIFF 2014) Wrap Up: The Best, Good, Average, Below Average and BAD Films according to MK!
by MK Scott
After 25 Days, I managed to see only 37 out of the 440 films at the 40th Annual Seattle International Film Festival. I saw 28 Features and 9 Shorts, Mostly Gay and Doc oriented. The List below is what I thought was the BEST, GOOD, Above Average, AVERAGE, and Below Average. Be sure to catch these at a Film Festival or theater in the coming year.

(SIFF 2014) 2014 Golden Space Needle and Competition Awards!
Boyhood was a Big winner and this took 10 years to make! |
Carl Spence, SIFF's Artistic Director, says, "This has been an extraordinary 40th anniversary Festival. From welcoming back Richard Linklater to Seattle with his groundbreaking epic Boyhood, to honoring Laura Dern, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Quincy Jones for their masterful work, to welcoming Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer who has brought Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch to life for years, to the hundreds of first-time directors making their debut, it's been another year of indelible cinematic experiences. Every year, it's so thrilling to see our legendary Seattle audiences discover our lineup of films and wholly immerse themselves in the Festival experience. Congratulations to every single film and filmmaker that we had the opportunity to present!"
Adds Mary Bacarella, SIFF's Managing Director, "Beginning with our big Opening Night announcement about the purchase of the SIFF Cinema Uptown and lease on the historic Egyptian Theatre, this Festival has blown away all of my expectations. Each day (and there's 25 of them!) seemed to bring even more exciting events and can't-miss moments. I'm thrilled to be leading SIFF in this time of growth, and can't wait to get to work on bringing incredible films to two neighborhood cinemas."
(ED...4 LGBT Films were nominated and 2 wins with Best Short-Documentary with Maikaru and a Special Mention for Live Action Short, Aban + Khorshid.)
