2020 was the Year Without a SIFF (and a lot of other things, thanks to COVID cancelations), but the largest film festival in the country, now in its 47th year, is gearing up for its comeback from April 8-18—and today they announced their official lineup! Pivoting to an all-virtual program, the festival will bring over 90 features and 100 short films to you, meaning you won’t have to rush to a coveted matinee screening at a SIFF theater across town. We’ve rounded up a preview of the films we’re most excited about, from Bassam Tariq’s Mogul Mowgli starring Sound of Metal‘s Riz Ahmed to Seattle director SJ Chiro’s East of the Mountains, plus the opening-night film The Dry and the closing-night film Rosa’s Wedding. Single-film tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 am, so you have almost 24 hours to make your selections.

Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir
SIFF says: James Redford’s final film is an illuminating rendering of author Amy Tan (The Joy Luck Club) through her own family photo albums and video footage, linking her prolific and groundbreaking work with the generations of women and immigrants before her.
