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 festivals in the whole of usamerica. In fact, the largest in *North America* for that matter! Schedule was released on May 8 and listings, catalog and tickets went on sale May 11 for the general public. Make sure to get on it in advance if there are specific films you dont want to miss, as the week(s) leading up to the festival can be rather insane and films can sell out within days of going on sale.
