For more than 50 years, the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) has put a spotlight on independent and international film and promoted the art of film to the Seattle community. The SIFF started pursuing year-round film in the 1990s-2000s and now provides special viewing experiences for Seattle residents and visitors at venues across the city. Attend one of their annual film festivals, follow their curated film series, or just stop by to see a new movie you’ve been waiting to cross off your list.
