Relive the best moments from the Festival, as captured by our photographers.
Save the date — our 50th Festival will take place May 9–19, 2024 at SIFF Cinemas and venues throughout the city. The 2024 Festival will spotlight new voices alongside established directors, films from more than 70 countries, sensational hit independents, and films that have yet to break through to the US audiences.
The Seattle International Film Festival has long championed new voices, unique visions, and film-centered experiences. The Festival’s emphasis on keeping the event aimed first and foremost at filmgoers provides the films themselves with the kind of genuine audience response that has attracted the participation of filmmakers and film distributors for 50 years.
