Cinema Circles
Cinema Circle donors are a group that believe in supporting independent filmmakers, emerging storytellers, and creative talent while creating an unparalleled and welcoming home for film in Seattle. Through their generosity, SIFF receives essential operating support that sustains our cinemas and programming throughout the year.
