Featured Film:

The Seattle International Film Festival, Part One

SIFF begins its three and a half week odyssey this week and we’ll have full coverage of the festival. Ryan’s got a preview of the festival as a whole up, and I’ve got one for just this first week. We’ll have more reviews to come throughout the week, but as of  now we have ones up for After the StormThe Unknown Girl (both of which we saw at the Vancouver Film Festival last fall), Yourself and Yours (two of them), and Cook Up a Storm. If you’re only going to see one SIFF movie this week, make it Yourself and Yours.
