The 2022 Wyss Film Festival
The "Wyss Film Festival" hit a couple different milestones in 2022. First, it marked an impressive one dozen years of movie watching. Second, it was during this past year that I eclipsed 2,500 total films watched since the beginning of this endevour. I saw 187 new films in 2022, which was the 4th lowest total in the last twelve years. I'm frankly surprised it was even that high. We've had a very crazy year in our house, and with our children being involved in more evening activities, the opportunity to watch a good (or not so good) film has become smaller. Nevertheless, I forged ahead and still managed to put away a lot of films this year. As I've said before, I watch all the movies so you don't have to. Check out the full Film Fetival list, as well as my selections for the best films I watched this year!
