Closing Night 2025: Your Reel World Sendoff Soiree

You’ve seen raw, natural beauty and feats of human ingenuity, sampled the cuisines of far off and even otherworldly cultures, heard language and song from across the globe and beyond. Your body aches from long days out exploring. Maybe you’re a little homesick. But you’re determined to end this trip on a high note. Nothing would cap your whirlwind Reel World tour better than one final celebration in cinematic paradise.

Join us Saturday, May 24, for the screening of our Closing Night Film, Sorry, Baby, at SIFF Cinema Downtown. This nonlinear, seriocomic story follows an English professor’s complicated path toward healing after a visit with a friend from her past dredges up unresolved trauma.

After the film, we’ll head over to MOHAI for our spectacular Closing Night Party, the ideal conclusion to your silver screen adventure. Delight in complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres, groove to dance music mixed by DJ Paco, model your Reel World suntan at our themed photo booth, and come with extra room saved in your suitcase because you might just win some marvelous mementos from our fundraising raffle.

Let SIFF bid you adieu the right way. Learn more and grab your tickets here.
