SIFF news

This is unrelated to the gallery, but I'd like to congratulate Miranda July on her recent win at the Cannes Film Festival for her first full-length feature debut: Me and You and Everyone We Know. It's great to see that SIFF was supportive also and had it be the festival opener. I love it when quality is acknowledged, even though early reviews were a little reluctant but positive.
The first time I met Miranda July she was putting dry washcloths on her bare arms backstage at a Beck concert to stay warm. Kind of a patchwork blanket, and I thought, "That is one weird girl." Weird people are usually very entertaining.
