26 - Seattle's 1 Reel Festival

Dear Miguel Silveira,

I would like to invite your film Namibia, Brazil to participate in the 1 Reel Film Festival, September 1-3, 2007. 1 Reel is put on by the Seattle International Film Festival Group as part of Bumbershoot, Seattle's city-wide music and arts festival.

The festival will take place at SIFF Cinema in the Seattle Center. The SIFF Cinema has been designed to be a world-class state-of-the- art cinema with archival print-ready projection and sound systems that perfectly complement the cinema's great sightlines, excellent acoustics and comfortable seats. In addition to the two 35mm projectors, the theatre has been equipped with the new Sony SRXR110 digital projector, capable of delivering an amazing picture – more than four times the resolution of full HDTV. The sound system has been installed to meet LucasFilm THX Sound specifications, featuring top-of-the-line JBL 3-way speakers and surround system powered by Dolby Digital Sound processing with Crown’s Dsi cinema amplifiers, providing perfect coverage in every seat of the auditorium, with an equal wide dynamic range and extended bandwidth, as well as providing inaudible levels of distortion.

Here is a link to last year's festival:
