SIFF is virtual (and early) this year, which is better than no SIFF last year. I've built my watch list in the Roku app and tomorrow I'll just... watch movies on my couch like I've done for the past year+. Not feeling a sense of excitement or adventure or specialness. One of the great things about the pass is watching something random because you really want to see the movie before and after it at the same venue, and then it turns out to be amazing. That's not happening this time.
I'm afraid that it's going to be like my attempts at online conferences and I'm just going to slide off. It's okay, SIFF can keep my money. But maybe a film festival I'm not excited about *is* worse than no film festival.
