A SIFF staffer is always there to introduce a film, and remind people to turn off their cellphones...not just put them on vibrate, but silence them and put them away so no one has to see the glowing blue screens. But I especially like it that at least one of the staffers likes to tell the audience to unwrap their candy now. That usually gets some laughter and applause. lol

Probably because we take our film-viewing more seriously than most. I think a lot of people think of going to a theatre as a social event more than actually *watching and listening* to a film.
