Talk:Seattle International Film Festival

message: So what was the "ill-fated early attempt"? I've been a SIFF regular for decades and I don't know about this. And is there a citation for it? - Jmabel | Talk 04:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is the premiere of Monster House worth singling out among the literally hundreds of films that have had their North American premiere at SIFF? - Jmabel | Talk 07:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Premiere 

message: The article needs to mention history and display (or wiki-link to) a full list of winners. With some care it can easily become class start. Hoverfish 15:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Winners of what? - Jmabel | Talk 06:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The GSN started out as a joke, and only gradually came to be awarded on anything like a disciplined basis. In the early years of the award, ballot-box stuffing on behalf of directors who showed up (or were friends with the festival organizers) was the norm rather than the exception. I'll see what I can do to sort out its origins. - Jmabel | Talk 20:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

text: At my request, they compiled a complete list and sent me the spreadsheet. I've put the info in the article and will wikify it. Also, I see a few typos, which I will fix. Apparently, we're the first people who ever asked for a complete list; now that they've compiled it, they plan to put it on their website. - Jmabel | Talk 02:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The GSN is, in theory, an "audience award"; in practice, the voting is nothing like transparent, I don't trust it very far, and I doubt I'm alone in that. People certainly do mention them in ads, though. I think that the festival is a reasonably prestigious festival, but I don't think that the award is (or deserves to be) and equally prestigious award. I mean... Pump Up the Volume??? Also, I could have sworn that the truly hideous IP5 (1992) won one of these, but it's not in the list they sent me. I'll have to check into that. - Jmabel | Talk 19:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Winners"

message: As discussed with Jmabel, I have moved the winners to (main article) Golden Space Needle. I have also split the table in two for easier reading. This article would improve with a picture of the Moore Egyptian Theater (as it was when named so, if possible). If you contact SIFF and do the request, please ask also for a picture of the GSN award, for the GSN article. Thank you for helping. I am willing to contribute in both articles for any further improvements. Hoverfish 09:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
