Secret Festival
The Reel World: Classified
May 18 - 25, 2025
Take a private trip to the cinema with SIFF’s Secret Festival. Secret Fest is a confidential cinematic excursion that requires each viewer to sign an NDA prior to attending. Screenings might be rare archival finds or unofficial debuts, international films, hyper-local documentaries, or anything in between!
Secret Fest first snuck on the scene in 1983, with the film [REDACTED]. In a year when regularly priced tickets went for $4.50, SIFF organizers sold Secret Fest tickets for just a single dollar to test the waters on this brand-new program. It was a total hit, and Secret Fest has since become a gem of the Seattle film scene.
Catch this year’s Secret Fest screenings on the two Sundays of the Festival, May 18 and 25, at 11:00am sharp! As the 1983 SIFF catalog put it, “IF YOU’RE SMART, YOU’LL SHOW UP.”
Film buffs who love bizarre movies, physical media, and signing NDAs should make sure to come early for a chance to win DVDs from the monthly secret screening series Classified Cinema.
Sunday, May 18 & Sunday, May 25
11:00am, SIFF Cinema Downtown
