Good bye Michael Seiwerath; we'll miss you!
I worked at the Film Forum for several years, and Michael Seiwerath was undoubtedly one of the nicest and most enthusiastic people I met there. Best of luck to him in the future, and good luck to the Film Forum in finding a new Executive Director.
Michael Seiwerath should get a key to the city. The NWFF is a local treasure and, along with SIFF, has put Seattle on the map as one of the most vital cinema cities in North America. Every cinephile in town owes Seiwerath a great debt, and we got to keep our fingers crossed that the next E.D. is half as dedicated and imaginative as he has been.
He seemed like a really nice guy. Too bad for NWFF. They could use more folks like him there.
there was no comprehensive center for filmmakers and audiences in Seattle
*clears throat*
Women in Film, Cinema Seattle, Pike Street Cinema, 911 Arts Center
the screening quality is not very good
I have better sound from my Mac
Seems to me that their PR is very linked to the Stranger - there is a bit more to the whole area east of Downtown than this Rag, love it as I might
hope they have a long term lease on the space, staffing aside, high rent is now the danger for these kinds of projects
Mr S. has been so important to Seattle Film it's hard to overstate it. I admire him for going into a future without a big fat professional plan, except to see his remarkable kids. Brave, bravo, we love you michael.

Don't know the facts, but I do know the newer president of NW Film Forum. What a piece of work. Sleepy, naive Seattle, a perfect spot to ply her schtick. Good luck to everyone who has to be in her dark orbit. My guess is her presence had something to do with this. Only a guess. Film? She wouldn't know how to shoot a frame, edit a frame, know a frame if it hit her over the head. But she sure weaseled her way to the top of an organization that has seen many of those involved, as actual filmmakers, or aspiring, in the true sense of the word. Word up people.
