• PIFF33 Encore Screenings Announced
  February 23, 2010

  They've announced the encore screenings for Sunday, February 28th, and I've added them to the schedule. (Inside joke for my Silver Screen friends: I may get to see NORA'S WILL after all!)

  Just in case I don't post another update before the festival ends: Thanks to everyone who I've gotten to talk with during the festival - this year has been especially rich with great conversations about the films we've seen!

• PIFF schedule updated
  February 19, 2010

  Just heard from Kristy that they've added a screening of Nora's Will tonight at 6PM in Broadway 2 (taking the place of a previously-cancelled Heiran screening; I've added it to the schedule here.

• A tweak to the scheduler, and my own schedule for PIFF
  February 9, 2010

  I've tweaked the automatic scheduler to schedule a 12-minute break between screenings; until now, it would schedule you for a screening that started one minute after a previously-scheduled screening.

  This is a baby step on the way to considering distance between theaters, something that my PIFF friends have asked about, because PIFF is using Cinema 21 again this year, and there's one film that's only screening there. (Until I can add the full feature, I chose 12 minutes, because Benefactor members of the Northwest Film Center have a seating section reserved until 10 minutes before showtime, and this gives me two more to move between theaters at the Broadway!)

  If you've already used the automatic scheduler, this won't affect your schedule, but if you re-run it, it will. Let me know if this new feature works especially well (or badly!) for you!

  Since the press screening schedule seems to be final, I've let the automatic scheduler generate my schedule for PIFF - looks like I'll get to see 70 of the 83 films this year!
