Seattle Latino Film Festival

Seattle Latino Film Festival is a 5 stars 501c3 Non-Profit Organization connecting Latin-American Art through Cinema in the NW of the United States.

FOR MY SON...I saw that the Seattle International Film Festival was an event taking place in May. Your birthday is in May. I thought, 'What a great gift idea! You love films.' Then I bought some tickets to the movies we could attend (and were appropriate for your age - of course) and away we went. I was so touched by how moved and inspired you were by the films we saw. You were right up there with the grown ups asking questions to the special guests and making it a point to learn as much as you could. I didn't know we could become members of SIFF that gave us access to films, educational programs and special events all year long. I learned when we went and saw our first films together that this was a possibility. We bought you a membership for your Christmas present and dad and I have been so proud of the way you participate in programs, go along to screenings and ask meaningful questions about the process of film making. You are such an inspiration to me. I'm so glad we did this. It has made a huge difference in our lives, and especially yours! You are growing up into a beautiful young man who has a great passion for film making and your membership in SIFF is a great learning foundation for your future. Way to go, SIFF!!! Love, mom.

The Gift of #SIFF

I give to SIFF Cinema because of it's support of international films and new, independent film artists/directors. I love their venues, the volunteers and also the choices of films are (in my opinion) better than the box office theaters. SIFF lineup is open to a wide range of films with or without famous actors. I've been exposed to more international films than I've ever been in the past except for those I've watched in classes when I was in college. The photo attached is after watching a SIFF preview of The Gift in August. We were creeped out to say the least.
