▷ SIFF's 50th

SIFFTY years of surprising cinema

Everybody loves a pleasant surprise. From the 50th birthday party kind to the kind you get in a theater surrounded by strangers watching an obscure film whose trailer you’ve never seen and probably couldn’t find if you tried. Delicious. That’s why we chose it as the theme for Seattle International Film Festival’s 50th anniversary campaign.

In addition to our “film goo” festival ad, we made a few on-theme bumpers to show at SIFF before the films.


Surprising Cinema Bumpers

 
 

Of the many surprisingly disgusting and disturbing moments in Trainspotting, a film from the 22nd SIFF, this one right here takes the cake.

 
 
 

It shall henceforth be known in all the land that Aragorn being Isildur’s heir is one of the most surprising plot twists in all of cinema. So it is written.

 
 
 

And then there’s this surprise from Nashville, the unavoidable kind that gets worse and worse and worse until it’s so bad it’s funny. This, too, is worth celebrating.
