SIFF: Golden Space Needle Award Winners

The winners of the 2006 Seatte International Film Festival Golden Space Needle awards are French hit OSS-117: Nest of Spies, for Best Feature, and Full Disclosure, for Best Short. I'm not at all surprised that OSS-117: Nest of Spies won the audience award at SIFF -- the response to the spy spoof at the screening I attended was overwhelmingly positive. The Trials of Darryl Hunt, about a man who spent years in prison for a brutal rape and murder he didn't commit -- even after DNA testing proved he wasn't the culprit -- won for Best Documentary. I don't have the info yet on the other prizes ( was at a screening of Monster House with my kids this morning instead of at the awards announcements), but will post that info when it's available.

I have to say ... I was disappointed with 80% of the films that I saw at the season's SIFF (2006). That's not to say that the volunteers, the website, choices of venue ... all that ... were not outstanding (b/c they were!) ... but the films were ... well ... less than. I spoke to a few other patrons that felt the same, so I felt compelled to post my sentiments here.
