SIFF Cinema
Our three theaters, SIFF Cinema Egyptian, SIFF Cinema Uptown, and the SIFF Film Center, screen arthouse and mainstream films, the latest international works, one-of-a-kind special events, and festivals.
Seattle International Film Festival
SIFF hosts the annual Seattle International Film Festival— traditionally attracting nearly 150,000 attendees to celebrate films from more than 80 countries and regions around the world. Many of the features, short films, and documentaries we screen will not have a return to US cinemas, making it an amazing event to discover new and underrepresented voices and stories.
SIFF Education
We go beyond our screens to provide more opportunities for our community to be inspired by and learn from film and filmmakers. SIFF’s education and engagement programs cultivate community and support lifelong learning, cultural literacy and creative expression. Through partnerships, we host a variety of special screenings and mini-festivals—many of which are open to the public at no charge.
SIFF’s Programmers create a mix of screenings and gatherings that offers escapism, entertainment, and enrichment. Through thoughtful curation—we continually captivate audiences, strengthen our community, and support independent filmmakers.
