The Stranger's recommendations for every slot in the film festival wrap up below. Check out www.thestranger.com/siff if you don't like scrolling down the Slog. SUNDAY JUNE 17 Neptune, 11 am.

The audience awards once again have much embarrassment. Outsourced best film? Sex & Death 101 best directing? So sad. But very happy that Shotgun Stories received the juried New American Cinema Award.

Wish I could have seen Shotgun Stories though.

That said, the Closing Night film was great!
