Seattle International Film Festival 2014 moves into its final week as of today. I’ve gone through and watched trailers for most of the movies playing over the 25 day festival and picked out the ones I am most interested in checking out. I’ve broken them into four groups: Opening Weekend (May 16th – 18th), Week One (May 19th – 25th), Week Two (May 26th – June 1st) and Week Three (June 2nd – 8th) and have been posting about them at the beginning of each week.
My picks for SIFF 2014 Week Three are 4 Minute Mile, Alex of Venice, The Better Angels, Canopy, Calvary, Dear White People, The Future of Film Criticism panel discussion, Intramural, Leading Lady, Mary Is Happy, Mary Is Happy, Not My Type, Once Upon a Time in Shanghai, They Came Together, Too Fool a Thief, and What Is Cinema? Follow the links below for ticket and venue information.
