Seattle International Film Festival : May 24 - June 17


Link to Seattle International Film Festival site

Yes! Its that time of the year again. Amazing that this little town of ours has one of the largest film fests in the whole stinkin usa. Schedule was released on May 10 and listings, catalog and tickets went on sale then for the general public. Make sure to get on it in advance if there are specific films you dont want to miss, as this thing can be rather insane and films can sell out on the first day of ticket sales.

Vladislav Delay / Loscil / Son of Rose - Seattle : Broadway Performance Hall : May 24

Should be a night of some deeply immersive dub, ambience and tone/texture
based electronic musics, each involving varying degrees of improv and digital composition.
Being on May 24th its essentially my B-day Party this year. Nice present from Turku, Finland!
Hosted again by those fine folks at the Decibel Fest. Flyer pretty much says it all:
