Events/Classes

We are proud to partner with these outstanding innovators in the world of digital technology for our hands-on, interactive filmmaker classrooms. The Seattle Mac Store, Mac University and IrisInk will present classes on various aspects of digital filmmaking and editing – not only for the experienced filmmaker, but also the novice, aspiring director or anyone looking for a way to realize their cinematic vision. These classes are free but ticketed reservations are available through the SIFF Box Office. Seating is limited.

The Digital Media Lab is located at the Broadway Performance Hall, Room 306
