As mentioned previously, SIFF released its the favorite films of this year’s audiences, who collectively tore through over 60,000 ballots to decide the fate of a table full of glass artwork by James Mongrain. Another organization also revealed their most liked. While the number of ballots was undoubtedly smaller, the body doing voting almost certainly saw far more films than the average SIFF attendee.

Every year, Fool Serious, the unofficial unorganization of SIFF passholders, undertakes their own internal balloting process to find out which films were the most beloved among the most fanatical of festival-loving cinephiles. Below, you’ll find the top results from the two tallies. It’s pretty interesting to compare and contrast to see which movies wound up among both the hardest of hard core and the broader slice of attendees. It’s a good guide for when you’re scoping out new releases and netflix (or library) rental queues.

While we’re on the topic of SIFF favorites, the festival is giving us one last chance to catch some of this year’s winners and top sellers before they head into their much-deserved summer break. From Friday to Sunday, they’ll be hosting a weekend bonanza featuring the best of the fest [siff].
On Friday, they’ll show best documentary talhotblond, (4:30), closing gala OSS 117: Lost in Rio (7:00), Lynn Shelton’s amazing Humpday (9:00).
