Key:
Features (40min. and up) are in bold.
Shorts are in italics.
★ - I have seen this film and recommend it (6.0 and higher)
✖ - I have seen this film and recommend you don't (3.9 and lower).
● - I have seen this film. It's aight.
○ - I am seriously considering making an attempt to see this film.
☀︎ - I made this film.
🔥 - This film can go to hell.
📺 - This film is a TV show.
⌛️ - This film is over 150 minutes long.
🍁 - This film is predominantly Canadian in my opinion.
FS - This film is available for me to watch on Festival Scope.
® - This film has a Canadian distributor.
® - This film has a US distributor.
16mm, 35mm, 70mm - It'll be screened from a film print.
 - Triple D.

Colour coding:
NYFF - Main Selection only, sans Opening, Closing, and Centerpiece films, i.e. biopics.
SUNDANCE - Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
BERLINALE - Sordid Realism.
CANNES - Festival of Splendour.
LOCARNO - Akermania.
VENICE - Something Orizzonti.
NOTABLES - Films by filmmakers whose new work I actively anticipate, perhaps ill-advisedly. Also, films with good notices from the other major festivals (Rotterdam, BAFICI, SxSW, Tribeca, etc.).

(Colours trump each other hierarchically, so e.g. a film that played both Berlin and Cannes will be red, unless e.g. it ends up in the NYFF Main Slate in which case it will become purple.)

– 8mm/16mm/35mm/70mm denotes that what I saw was a film print.
– DP denotes that what I saw was a Digital Projection in a theatre.
– 3D denotes that I saw a theatrical projection for which I was provided some sort of special spectacles—including but not limited to Polarized, Anaglyph, ChromaDepth, Pulfrich, and Prismatic technologies—to wear during part or all of the film. If I saw a feature-length film in 3D at home, the title of the film will be succeeded by “[3D]”.
– All others were from Blu-Rays, downloads, television, etc.
– A plus sign (+) at the beginning of a line denotes that I had seen this film before.

– Only films that are at least 40 minutes long (the Academy’s minimum for a feature film) are logged.
– A grade of “Inc.” denotes that I don’t think that this screening was an accurate enough presentation of the film for me to make a value judgment, either because their weren’t English subtitles for a foreign language film, or the projector broke/sound cut out/the print burned, or an ass in the theatre distracted me with too much talking/popcorn eating, etc.
– I don’t log W/Os.

***NEW for 2015***
I’m now logging short films (≤ 39min.), sans ratings, but only those viewed either from a film print or in an official theatrical context (i.e., where there is published documentation that the screening of this particular film took place). Why these conditions? The main reason I’ve never logged shorts is that my OCD has prevented me from distinguishing between short films, television commercials, music videos, random viral clips, etc.; I didn’t want to log everything, and I didn’t want to be arbitrarily discriminating what I logged and what I didn’t. This (admittedly still arbitrary) fix allows me to narrow it down to only the short films proper, which will almost exclusively consist of avant-garde works. These films will appear below in italics.
