I’ve had a lot more eyes on this page lately despite its low level of activity, and I can only guess that is because Chicago film critic Jim Laczkowski just undertook a comprehensive project to log all of the films that have played the Mental Filmness festival he could find on Letterboxd! Thank you, Jim! For your consideration: https://letterboxd.com/…/mental-filmness-film-festival/
I also, on his sound advice, started a project to write Letterboxd reviews for every film that has played the festival, one that I dropped at some point but would love to pick up again. This list should make it much easier! You might have noticed that I enjoy writing reviews of all of the films playing the festival anyway as a way to try to entice viewers to watch them and to highlight why we chose them, so really a lot of times it’s a matter of copying and pasting and a little editing and putting them all in one place.
I always wish I could get more eyes on these incredible films. Let me know if there’s anything I’ve overlooked, or if you’ve just put your film on Letterboxd (you should!), or if there are any other projects you’re working on or ways you’d like to promote the films, and I’ll try my best. What an interesting and diverse variety of submissions and selections we’ve had over the years!
