Welcome to our coverage center for the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival (May 15 to June 8), which promises, somewhat ominously to make “hashtag SIFForty” happen while promising that “You will be returned home safely but forever changed.” Everything we write about SIFF will display here for one-stop reading: protips, previews, reviews, picks and pans, essays on festival survival (but almost nothing about SIFF events outside of Seattle proper: sorry Kirkland Performance Center and Renton Performing Arts Center). Thanks for stopping in, and come back soon!
