generous support of the Wallace Foundation.
Q Do I have to be a member to attend SIFF?
A Nope! Anyone can attend the Festival.
Q What’s the easiest way to purchase tickets?
A You have several convenient options to purchase
tickets in advance or day of show. It’s just like going
to any other movie:
Online: www.siff.net
By Phone: 206.324.9996
In Person:

600 Pine Street, second level

Q How much are tickets?
A Tickets for most films are $11, but there are
discounts for matinees, Films4Families, students,
seniors, and always for Members. You can learn about
these special prices by visiting www.siff.net.
Q How do I choose a film?
A There are many ways you can choose a film or
discover something new. This year we’ve grouped
similar films into “Pathways” that let you explore films
depending on whatever mood you’re in. Check the
Quick Guide to Pathways on page 4 to choose whether
you’d like to laugh, be thrilled, or explore the world.
If you still don’t know what you want to see, you
can also just pick a day and time, check our film grid
(pages 24-25), and head out to a film. You won’t
be disappointed.
Another convenient way to sort through films is by
using our SIFFter tool, available on our website at
www.siff.net. iPhone users can also take advantage
of SIFFter by downloading it at the iTunes App Store.
DAY OF SHOW
Q How early should I arrive at the theater?
A Try to get in line 30 minutes before the show.
If advanced tickets are no longer available, a limited
number of standby tickets will be released ten minutes
before showtime in most instances.
Q Are SIFF venues really found all over the city?
A You bet! We’re showing films at SIFF Cinema,
Pacific Place, Neptune, Egyptian, Harvard Exit, Admiral,
Majestic Bay, McCaw Hall, Paramount Theatre,
Cinerama, Triple Door, Benaroya Hall, and IMAX at
Pacific Science Center as well as in Everett, Kirkland,
and Renton venues. We’ve provided a map on pages
42-43 for your reference, and you can also find more
information at www.siff.net.
Q Can I bring my children?
A We have wonderful kid-friendly and teen-appropriate
films playing in our Films4Families and FutureWave
series (see pages 10-11). Except for the Films4Families
program, no children under six are allowed.
Q Are all the films in English?
A Films will be presented in their original language.
If it’s a language other than English, there will be
English subtitles. Check the website or catalog if you
want to know for sure what language a particular
movie is in, or just guess from the country of origin.
HOW CAN I INTERACT WITH SIFF
EVEN MORE?
Q The Festival is about more than just watching
movies, right? What else can I participate in?
A Good question! We have tons of parties (see page 6),
opportunities to meet the filmmakers (see page 6),
programs for your tykes and teens (see pages 10-11),
live music performances (see page 37), and other
special events (see page 8). Just check www.siff.net

HOW TO SIFF
SIFF 101 QUICK GUIDE TO
PATHWAYS
This year we’ve made it much easier to find the type of film and experience
you might be in the mood for. Instead of using traditional categories, which
require a bit of work to figure out, we’ve aimed to easily connect films with
you, the audience, by organizing them into ten areas that help answer the
question “what sort of film do I feel like seeing tonight?” There are options
for those wanting romance (Love Me, Do!), comedies (Make Me Laugh), and
suspense (Thrill Me) amongst others.
Love Me, Do!
Romance and love in all its forms, pleasures, and idiosyncrasies (pages 12-14).
Make Me Laugh
Films that make you chuckle and tickle your funny bone (pages 16-17).
Thrill Me
Suspense, thrills, and action. Films with a faster pace that might
also surprise you when you least expect it (pages 18-20)!
Creative Streak
The exploration of artistic endeavors from all disciplines: literature, film, art,
dance, and performance (pages 21-23).
Open My Eyes
Revealing films and documentaries revolving around history, politics,
and contemporary events from around the world (pages 26-28).
Sci-Fi and Beyond
Science, technology, environment, the future—and beyond (pages 28-29)!
Take Me Away
Be prepared to be taken to another place – from exotic far-off lands
to vibrant experiences outside of everyday life (pages 30-33).
Spellbinding Stories
Mesmerizing dramas and documentaries that explore thought-provoking
questions, realities, and topics (pages 33-35).
To the Extreme
Explore the outer limits with films that go beyond the edge (pages 36-37).
Face the Music
Films that intersect the world of music on all fronts: from biopics and concert
films, to musicals and live events (pages 37-38).

PARTIES KEEPING YOU ENTERTAINED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE THEATER!
OPENING NIGHT GALA Start the Festival off right by attending
the Opening Night Gala at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall on May 19.
This kick-off event is always a fabulous time, complete with a
screening of The First Grader, followed by hors d’oeuvres, desserts,
and two complimentary cocktails. You can even upgrade your
tickets and achieve preferred entry to the movie and an open bar.
Upgrading even higher to the Red Carpet Experience allows you into
the private pre-reception with reserved seating, exclusive after-party
access, valet parking, and a gift bag valued at more than $450!
CENTERPIECE GALA Need an energy boost halfway through
the Festival? So do we! So we’re throwing a party at DAR Hall on
Capitol Hill on June 4. The gala will be preceded by a screening of
Service Entrance at the Egyptian Theatre, then the crowd will make
its way over to DAR Hall for music and dancing, hors d’oeuvres from
Boom Noodle, desserts by Dilettante, and complimentary cocktails.
CLOSING NIGHT GALA Let’s end this thing with a bang! Say
farewell to the month-long Festival in style by attending the Closing
Night Gala at Pan Pacific Hotel on June 12. Our Closing Night film,
Life In A Day, will play at Cinerama, and the party includes live ’80s
tunes by All Mixed Up, hors d’oeuvres by Seastar, desserts, and two
complimentary cocktails. Upgrade to Premium tickets and receive
access to an open bar and post-film reception.
GAY-LA Every year, SIFF hosts the most fabulous movie and
party experience in Seattle. The Gay-La screens a LGBT-themed
film (this year it’s August) and then throws a huge party afterwards.
Always a wild, colorful time, Gay-La has become one of the most
treasured events of the Fest! It’s all happening this year on June 9
at the Egyptian Theatre and Pnk Ultra Lounge.
NEW AMERICAN CINEMA PARTY We’re an international
film festival, but we love to celebrate our homegrown cinematic
work. Our New American programming highlights some of the
6
most innovative independent filmmaking taking place right here
in the United States. This year’s New American Cinema Party
features a screening of Miranda July’s The Future at Pacific
Place Cinemas followed by a party at Il Fornaio. It’s all
happening on May 21!
ASIAN CROSSROADS PARTY This year’s Festival is focusing
on South Asian film with our new program, The Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presents Asian Crossroads.
Celebrate these gorgeous and touching films on May 28 at Hotel
Deca at our Asian Crossroads Party. We’ll be screening Saigon
Electric at the Neptune, with a party following shortly after.
RENTON OPENING NIGHT This is our first year in Renton,
so we’re making the best first impression we possibly can! It’s
time to show Renton residents how much fun we have at SIFF,
so we’re hosting a Renton Opening Night screening and party.
This year’s film will be Black, White and Blues; it’s all happening
on May 20 at Pavillion Building.
EVERETT OPENING NIGHT We’re proud to continue
our partnership with the City of Everett, bringing a whole slew
of films catered specifically to the residents of Everett. To show
our affection for our neighbors, we’re hosting an Everett
Opening Night Gala on May 26 at Everett Performing Arts
Center. We’ll screen Young Goethe in Love, then live it up
with a party afterward.
KIRKLAND OPENING NIGHT This is our third year in
Kirkland, and we couldn’t be more pleased to share all that SIFF
has to offer with the citizens of this fine city. Some of our favorite
offerings are the many parties we throw, and we’re encouraging
Kirklanders to get in on that action too. Kirkland’s Opening Night
on June 2 at Kirkland Performance Center will feature a screening
of Bon Appétit preceded by a magnificent celebration.

The First Grader
Service Entrance
Life in a Day
One of the most inspirational films you’ll see this
year, The First Grader delivers the true story of
Maruge, an 84-year-old former Mau-Mau fighter
who uses a Kenyan government initiative to claim
the primary education he has always craved.
Joining his fight is a passionately progressive
young teacher who risks her career for his cause.
With uninhibited performances by children and
humor woven throughout, The First Grader
passionately underscores how the power of
education can deliver the greatest freedom of all.
A patrician Parisian banker learns how the
other half lives—and finds that it agrees with
him—in this upstairs/downstairs comedy of
manners. An all star cast featuring Fabrice
Luchini, Sandrine Kiberlain, Natalia Verbeke,
Carmen Maura, and Lola Dueñas bring this
warm fable to life.
Provocative, gorgeous, funny, and at times
deeply moving, Life in a Day draws from
80,000 videos all shot on July 24, 2010.
Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) and Oscarwinning director Kevin Macdonald ( Last
King of Scotland, Touching the Void) melded
the material into a groundbreaking collage
of cinematic storytelling.

Black, White and Blues
Young Goethe In Love
Bon Appétit
Mario Van Peebles’ Black, White and Blues
is a searing portrait of a down-on-his-luck
bluesman who takes a road trip that helps him
rediscover his missing mojo in the unlikeliest
of places. Van Peebles’ film evokes the spirit
and power of the blues, packing a raw, visceral
wallop, much like the music from which it takes
its inspiration.
A gorgeously made biography of the early
years of Germany’s literary genius, when
his romantic travails served as inspiration
for his hugely influential novel The Sorrows
of Young Werther. A fine lead performance,
sparkling cinematography, and gorgeous
costumes and sets make this an engaging
story of ill-fated love.
An ambitious and talented chef arrives at
a gourmet restaurant intent on becoming
the owner’s protégé, when an unexpected
kiss with his mentor’s mistress throws
things into upheaval. A delectable feast of
romantic frisson.

LOVE ME, DO!
HELEN LOVERIDGE
FILM PROGRAMMER
ROMANCE AND LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS, PLEASURES, AND IDIOSYNCRASIES.
Love: who can honestly say they’ve never been touched by it?
Whether it be romantic, carnal, illicit, amour fou; absent love, unrequited
love, lost love; filial, familial, parental, conjugal; self-love, altruistic
love… The list is endless, and its various manifestations form the basis
of some of this year’s stand out films, from the intriguing Friday-toSunday gay romance of Weekend, the star-crossed young lovers of
Norwegian Wood, and the delusional obsession of notorious ‘Mormon
chained to bed’ headliner Joyce McKinney in Tabloid. And let’s not
forget that masterpiece of yesteryear, Black Narcissus, with the rarified
mountain air of the Himalayas fueling some of the most passionate
outpourings ever captured on film. Whatever floats your boat, you will
surely find it in our Love Me, Do! offerings.

When it comes right down to it, comedy is all about relationships. It can
be how one person relates to his or her surroundings, like a child or a
teenager. Germany’s Almanya is about a six-year-old with an identity
crisis. New Zealand’s Boy is about an 11-year-old who expects his
imprisoned father will break out of jail to take him to a Michael Jackson
concert. Then there’s high school uncertainties, like in the UK’s Submarine

TAKE ME AWAY

FILM PROGRAMMER
BE PREPARED TO BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER PLACE – FROM EXOTIC FAROFF LANDS TO VIBRANT EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
More than just a road trip, Take Me Away really means take me away
from here, and bring me to a different place. So we’re going to take
you to an ancient sea of salt flats with Mr. Rahmat, a “tear collector”
in The White Meadows, and then we’ll visit Venice, where a little boy
hiding from the war builds a city of bridges in a flooded basement. We’ll
take a journey across Uruguay with an Argentinean in Por El Camino,
and hitchhike across Australia in Summer Coda. We’ll ride with Gérard
Depardieu on his motorcycle in Mammuth as he searches for himself,
and traverse Ukraine with three ragamuffins in Tomorrow Will Be Better.
These are just some of the roads and byways SIFF follows when we
take you away.

Spellbinding Stories gets to the heart of why we go to the movies in the
first place. We want to know about other people, other creatures, just like
us or not like us at all, in other places, doing what we wish we could do,
or maybe what we’d never do. We want to know what it’s like, and why
it’s like that, and how it all turns out. From the thief with healing powers
(Kosmos), to the warlord turned evangelist (The Redemption of General
Butt Naked), to the heiress avenging her honor (Mysteries of Lisbon),
to the keeper with magical beehives (Honey)... From the Horabat tribe plundering the tombs of
the Pharaohs (The NIght of Counting the Years), to the ragtag vaudeville troupe wandering the
back roads of Spain after the Civil War (The Paper Birds)… In short form, animation, live action,

musicians. Take a look at the inspiring life of Afropop pioneer and
anti-Apartheid activist Miriam Makeba in Mama Africa, or join
Brooklyn’s Le Tigre (led by ex-Bikini Kill singer and Evergreen
alum Kathleen Hanna) as they take their clever, Electroclash dance
party around the world in Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour.
You can meet another Seattle legend in Hit So Hard following
the rough-and-tumble life of Hole’s Marysville-born drummer, or
discover the equally dramatic life of André Mathieu, once hailed the
“next Mozart,” in The Child Prodigy. Speaking of Mozart, this year’s
program also offers one-of-a-kind cinematic intersections of music
and film: a scabrous film interpretation of Mozart’s Don Giovanni in
Juan, and Backyard, the coolest one-man block party. Ever. Kinshasa
Symphony’s look at the unifying power of music will warm your heart,

ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES ARTS AND SCIENCES PRESENTS
ASIAN CROSSROADS
A steady supplier of some of SIFF’s most buzzworthy
titles, 2011’s Asian entries prove no exception, with
a dazzling variety of exciting, hilarious, and profound
films coming to us from the Pacific Rim and India.
Our Asian Crossroads selections include a riotous
confrontation between Man and Couch from Taiwan
(Pinoy Sunday), a costumed superhero patrolling the
Bangkok skies (Red Eagle), an award-winning look at
love beyond the grave from Thailand (Eternity), and a
Private Eye who moonlights as a television choreographer (The Bengali Detective). All tastes will be served.

SHORTS
Intense flashes
of inspirational cinema
Short film practitioners distill their creative vision to its most
vital essence, without wasting a single frame of film, taking
care to achieve a unique, singular effect. Year after year, we
put together packages of the most original cinematic works
in the short form, exploring everything from classic genres to
boundary-pushing experimental works—all of them fleeting,
yet no less intense, flashes of inspiration.
Every short film at SIFF is eligible for both the Golden
Space Needle Audience Award and Jury Award. Jurors
choose winners in Narrative, Animation, and Documentary
categories. Each jury winner will receive a prize, and the
Narrative and Animation winners may also qualify to enter
their respective Short Film category of the Academy Awards®.

ARCHIVAL
Preserving the history of
cinema on the big screen
Archives:
The year’s Archival Presentations selection is not
only a chance to revisit the cinematic treasures that
still captivate audiences decades later, it is also a
celebration of the filmmakers, craftsmen, and archivists who created and protect the indelible images that
have helped us define our world. With that in mind,
we have selected three new documentaries about
enduring films and filmmakers—each of which includes
a healthy selection of archive clips—and four timeless
feature films worth re-experiencing on the big screen.

NORTHWEST CONNECTIONS
The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the most
breathtaking scenery, colorful characters, and fascinating stories in the country, so it’s no surprise that
filmmakers would brand their films with our one of
a kind image. This year’s Northwest Connections
feature films set in the Puget Sound (Late Autumn),
made by local film crews (The Off Hours, The
Catechism Cataclysm), about local issues (How to
Die in Oregon). With this series we get back to and
celebrate our rainy roots.
