Oh PUH-LEASE …

You poor press darling, you. Suck it up and deal with the hassle (and have fun doing so because it IS Manhattan after all). It’s a *festival* for flipping sake. One that is in its infancy and is still ironing out the kinks. I hope you have a better experience next time, or as me mum used to say, if you’ve got nothing nice to express then say nothing …

Thanks!

oh, also, similarly, you can watch some SFIFF films here:

The pages aren’t available to the public yet from the rest of our site… I’m kind of leaking them to you out of professional admiration.

It’s so huge… our EP who lives there (Vanessa, you know her, right?) went to get her passes this morning. I don’t know if she had trouble, but it sounded like a pain.

If you can’t make them, some of those films will be available for download on Jaman:

I know you’re probably not interested, but you could win tickets to that shee-shee Red Carpet Premier (Spider *cough* related) here:

I agree. I appealed my press pass “verdict” and even after 2 emails over a week, I got no response. I have TWO people covering the fest and they wouldn’t (so far) give one of us the upgraded pass, which I have had in the past. They way they handle press is shamefull.

Below the hype, the steady buzz is that this is really not about independent film, but about commercial sponsors and creating events. There is room, says Jeff from Gen Art in his interview with IndiePix, for a truly indie film fest in NY. Maybe those folks on the lower east side will do that this fall!

I appreciate your honesty, sharing your ranting. Makes me feel I’m not so crazy. I’ve been back to NYC 3 days and more than ever, feel like the whole city – well, Manhattan – has turned into one giant theme park for yuppie frenzied consumption. Tribeca just reflects that.

I definitely sympathize with your predicament. There are many people with the same dilemna!
I do have a question, though, if you wouldn’t mind. On your “25-page document” was there any information regarding the movies “Nobel Son” and “Scott Walker:30th Century Man”? Thanks so much!
I hope that your TFF experience turns out to be a good one!
