Programmers' Picks: Megan Leonard
SIFF Programmer Megan Leonard shares some of her highlights from the 2024 Seattle International Film Festival.
Good One
Could not be more PNW-coded despite not being made in the PNW. Take a hike in feminine discomfort. Reichardt would approve.
The Black Sea
The third Crystal Moselle film to make my programmer picks. Can’t get enough. And Derrick B. Harden is a star.
So Unreal
Let Debbie Harry’s voice hypnotize you on a trip through future internet movie past.
My Sextortion Diary
Next-level true crime investigation work.
Bob Trevino Likes It
Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo bond in the most beautiful way. Heartwarming. Tissues may be required.
Dìdi (弟弟)
Completely charming coming of age from Sean Wang, last year's doc short jury winner and not to mention Oscar® nominee (Nai Nai & Wái Pó).
Aggro Dr1ft
Living in its own world. A$$ on the BIG screen. Harmony Korining all over.
Stress Positions
Toxic gay shit.
RATS!
Horrifying. Disgusting. Emo. Needs to be seen to be believed.
Eat Your Heart Out
All of the shorts programs are full of riches, but Eat Your Heart Out (this year’s WTF shorts) will leave you hungry, thirsty, horny? There will be hole!
