List creator: praxis Created on: October 4, 2004 - 11:27 AM PDT Description: Movies in the GC catalog that were shown at the Seattle Int. Film Festival 2004 which I saw. I'll update this regularly as the films I saw get listed in the catalog or I see the films which have been shown during the festival.

	The Five Obstructions (2003)
Perfection. By far the most entertaining and thought provoking film I saw at the fest.
	Hero (2002)
Beautifully shot. An interesting tale told in vibrant color and fluid action.
	Control Room (2003)			Not Rated
Farenheit 9/11 on steroids. Much less propaganaish and more moving look at one aspect of the war in Iraq.
	Running on Karma (2003)
Twisted koan-like plot. The plot and character development leave you looking deep into yourself and existance trying to understand the law of karma.
	Last Life in the Universe (2003)
An uplifting tragedy about a book lover and the woman he meets. A character-based movie done well.
	Love Me If You Dare (2003)
Light yet twisted romantic comedy, whose ending is unbelievable but lets you ponder why things turn out the way they do.
	Saved! (2003)
I thought this was too slapsticky for my tastes, but the concept alone was worth the viewing.
	The Tesseract (2003)
An adrenaline pumped techno soundtracked action movie of atypical style.
	The Notebook (2004)
I thought this was a rather slow and unfulfilling drama which, if executed better, could have lived up to the expectations of the premise.
	The Story of the Weeping Camel (2003)
Another slow painful drama for me, but this one suffered not only in execution but concept.
