The in-person portion of SIFF’s 51st Seattle International Film Festival ended on Sunday with the Golden Space Needle Awards and a full day of theatrical screenings. Never fear, this year’s “Escape to the Reel World” continues through June 1st online with a substantial portion of the program available for streaming (included for most pass types, or $20 individual films).
The in-person portion of the 51st Seattle International Film Festival is past its halfway point and is barreling toward closing weekend. Featuring 245 films playing in theaters around town until May 25th (and several making online encores the week after), there’s still plenty of time to catch our city’s biggest film festival in the company of other cinemaniacs.
We share some film’s we’ve seen and are eager to recommend as well as a few that are still at the top of our watchlists.

The 51st Seattle International Film Festival kicks off tomorrow! Running in person from May 15–25, the festival features 245 films playing in-person across the city — including daily programming at the recently-reopened Cinerama — with many getting online encore screenings the following week. Sorting through the whole program and/or film finder can help you to dial into your exact needs for a cinematic holiday (per SIFF’s vacation-themed, “Trip to the Reel World”), but we’re also here to help.
Last week, we gave you some quick picks in the wake of the press launch. Now, with some more time with the program and some screeners, we have a few more suggestions for how to spend the opening days of the festival.
Starting today, tickets and passes are now available to the public for the 50th Seattle International Film Festival. While we’re digging through the schedule and plotting our own agendas, we thought we’d start by each highlighting a film (or two) from the program that we’re most excited to see or recommend.
It’s that time again! We all picked our favorites at the end of the year; the guilds have spoken; critics groups have doled out their laurels; and now, two months into 2025 it’s time for the Academy to put a bow on the movies of 2024 with the Oscars. In advance of Sunday’s telecast – hosted by Conan O’Brien – airing on ABC at 4 pm (PDT) we gathered round the old roundtable to make our predictions on how the awards will (and should) go when all’s said and done in almost all of the categories.
We’re just past the halfway point of 2023; so to commemorate the occasion a few of you friendly neighborhood SunBreakers took stock of the films we’ve seen so far.
The in-person portion of the Seattle International Film festival closed this weekend — first with a Gala screening of Sing Sing and a party at MOHAI on Saturday, then with the Golden Space Needle Brunch on Sunday morning. The festival continues through the weekend with about 50 titles still playing online, but we took this transition from theatrical to home-viewing to catch our breaths and share our experience with this year’s big birthday event.
