Maybe some of those who made the film were there? That’s the only reason I can think of but 7 minutes is just dumb.

Standing ovations for films is some weird cult shit tbh

Why

So <1min standing ovation I can get, just appreciating the time and effort. But when it gets to be 5+ min it gives me big celebrity cult worship vibes and to me that’s a negative to others maybe a positive I suppose

Got it. Yeah the duration definitely adds an element of oddity. I have never really been comfortable witnessing that long of an ovation.

I mean if it was gonna happen anywhere, a film festival probably makes the most sense
