Seattle International Film Festival Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will unhook the velvet ropes and let audiences into more than a dozen theaters around town for a 25-day celebration of independent films.
If you’re the type who thinks Hollywood blockbusters incredibly dull and vacant, if you enjoy foreign flicks, or if you just simply love the thrill of a darkened theater just before a movie rolls, you’ll love SIFF. In under a month the festival will screen over 400 films, with everything from documentaries to funny shorts flickering on the big screens of Seattle. While that might seem a bit overwhelming, the SIFF website has a lot of great tools to help sift through all of the shows to find the ones you’ll really love. Also be sure to check out SIFF’s Twitter feed for up-to-date festival news and last-minute reccomendations.
Each regular screening is $11 per ticket, but you can buy a variety of passes if you know you’re going to be a festival fixture. I’d suggest the Film Buff package for the best bang for the buck. For $180 you get 20 tickets for regular screenings. Sadly, big families can’t use these packages to get everyone into just a couple showings—there’s a two-person limit per film per package.
