It’s here! It’s that time again! Time to watch eleventeen-bagrillion
(take that, MATH!) movies about French people doing things very slowly
on a farm, German people who are old but still have sex, Chinese
people who are very sad, American people who are really ventriloquist
dummies, and people who are dead around the world and the people who
loved them. That’s right, it’s SIFF! This year’s opening-night gala
film, In the Loop, is actually good for a change (fuck
you, Battle in Seattle), and it’s followed by a SIFFy
bacchanalia in the streets outside the Paramount Theatre. Fun!
(Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St, thestranger.com/siff. 7 pm,
$50.)

It’s SIFFtacular!
