How many projection problems would you consider acceptable? There were hundreds and hundreds of screenings, so sure, you're gonna have problems. But do they get fixed? Is the problem identified? Is it even a projector problem? (I know at least Yes Men had problems due to the source media, not because of a faulty projector.)

I totally agree about the tepid selections. I did go to screenings, but I know that whatever titles are in the "best of the fest" are more like "the best that we can keep for an extra screening"
The festival is just bloated, poorly curated, even more poorly executed (how many dozen projection problems were there this year!), and package for us to praise without thought. Really the festival is just full of the hot air pouring out of the projection lamps.

if it's a documentary you want to see, I'd recommend Rembrant's J'Accuse (although it can be overwhelming) or The Cove.

Now, excuse me, I have to turn in this coupon for half-off on frames for the pic of Fnarf doing the Polka.
