📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Seattle True Independent Film Festival was started in 2005 by a group of filmmakers whose feature film Swamper was rejected by the Seattle International Film Festival. STIFF was modeled after the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah,as a way to champion local and true independent films that they felt were being left out of the local film program. The Stranger film critic Andrew Wright described it as “like a belch in church ”. All films that screen at STIFF receive a one-of a kind award called a “STIFFY”. Past STIFFY categories run the gamut from “Best Buddy Movie”, to “Hottest Zombie”. On average, STIFF receives over 600 submissions per year and screens over 125 films as part of the nine-day event.
