50th Seattle International Film Festival

In Theaters May 9–19 | Streaming May 20–27

SIFF has been bringing extraordinary independent films from around the world to Seattle for half a century now, and you’re not going to want to miss this year’s party. So come ring in SIFFTY Years of Surprising Cinema with us at theaters and venues across the Emerald City. 

What's new this year? The SIFF Lounge presented by Delta Air Lines is back, SIFF Cinema Downtown is now a Festival venue, Tribute events return with Jean Smart and June Squibb, our Closing Night Party is now on a Saturday, and several films' second screening will be presented with Open Captions.

Check our Resources page for an interactive version of the program and more, and the Selling Quickly list for screenings filling fast or on standby.

The SIFF Archives are live! Find interactive flipbooks of catalogs, photo and video assets, full lists of feature films that have played throughout our history, and other highlights at siff.net/archives. Feeling nostalgic? Submit a photo, memory, or other artifact from your Seattle International Film Festival experiences.
