SCFZ poll: Jane Campion

Post by flip »

Polling the films of director Jane Campion

The rules:

- your list can include no more than half of the Campion films you've seen, up to a maximum of 5. So if you've seen seven of her films, for example, you can list only a top 3. It's only if you've seen ten or more of her films than you can list the maximum of five.

- i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine.

- deadline for ballots: next Friday, in seven days, whatever day that is

- if anyone is watching films for these polls, then i'll extend the deadline up to three days, if someone requests an extension

- next poll: whoever posts the first ballot in this thread is free to nominate the director we poll next, unless you've nominated in this round already (everyone should get a chance). Already nominated this round: umbugbene, greennui, evelyn, bure, m arkadin, mrcarmady, nrh, brian d, mesnalty, kanafani, st gloede, ofrene, silga, greg x, therouxxx, charulata, oscarwerner, wba, unholymanm, john ryan

umbugbene created an index on letterboxd of all of our previous polls here: letterboxd.com/umbugbene/list/index-of-all-scfz-director-polls/

one rule for nominees: at least 3 scfzers need to have seen 10+ of a nominee's films, or at least 4 scfzers need to have seen at least 8 of the nom's films, so if it isn't clear if that will be the case, we'll confirm that's true before moving forward

if 24 hours pass after a poll opens, and no one eligible to nominate has posted a ballot, then i'll nominate someone, and then we'll start over, and everyone will be able to nominate again

i think we should probably use the extended rules:

- if you've seen an odd number of campion films, you can round up instead of down when determining the length of your ballot
- if you've seen more than 10 campion films, you can list more than 5 films on your ballot

THE PIANO, I guess.

Seen enough to rate more. Whatever.
These matters are best disposed of from a great height. Over water.

I'd love to poll Rolf de Heer, but I don't expect he would work (though happy to be proven wrong).

Otherwise - have we really not done John Huston?

Only seen 3 by De Heer. :(

(Been meaning to explore more for ages though)

If Huston has not been done I have seen 25 (well, I have seen 25 regardless - but ... has he really not been done? :o )
