Events/Festival Forums
The festival forums, often referred to as the voice of SIFF, sets stages that provide discussion, insight, and conversation on and about the world of film. Intimate, informative and enlightening, these forums are a rare opportunity for audiences to participate in conversations with exceptional filmmakers, actors, producers, composers, musicians, animators, writers and other film influentials who are passionate about the art of cinema and are shaping the industry today and into its future.
This year’s lineup has been chosen to inspire film lovers of every kind with a particular focus on the relationship between music and film that includes world-renowned composers and musicians as well as a strong contingent from here in the Northwest. We are also excited to launch our re-visioned Talking Pictures Series for which we have turned over the programming reigns to well-known personalities who make Seattle their home and who will be joining us for the screenings. In addition, there will be opportunities to learn about the latest in computer animation, conversations with experts in developing and producing independent film and a high flying Hong Kong Wire work demonstration. Something for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you at these special events that we hope will offer insight and inspiration to those who make the movies as well as the film fan in us all.
