FILM RATINGS FROM PAST FESTS: THE PROFESSIONALS AND THE PEOPLE
In 2012 I asked a set of industry professionals and attendees to TFF #39 to rate the films that they saw at The SHOW. Since then I have conducted this survey each year. and so I have added this new page to MTFB as a sort of time capsule of what fest-goers thought about the films that were screened.
Of course, we don't have a Peeps or Pros for 2020 which is too bad. I would like to see where Nomadland landed in the pantheon of films that have played The SHOW since 2012.
At any rate here are each year's Professionals and Peoples ratings and then my Composite ratings that I started doing in 2013. Additionally, beginning in 2015 I collated an annually updated list of the best rated films when all years were considered for each of the three versions of the polling.
