STIFF
Jun 06 - Jun 11
As film festivals across the country strive to raise their profile, many often pass over inventive, risk-taking films to make room for a sneak preview of the newest Hollywood film before its worldwide release. Somebody needs to help these TRUE independent gems find an audience on the lookout for the unusual!
Seattle's True Independent Film Festival is held at multiple venues throughout Seattle. It is a celebration of offbeat independent film from the Northwest and the rest of the world. This year our favorite STIFF picks are Matthew Porterfield’s Baltimore-based Putty Hill, Ben Russell’s Rouchian epic Let Each One Go Where He May and Nikolay and Yelena Renard’s quiet family portrait Mama. You can view the full schedule at www.trueindependent.org.
Catch Matt Porterfield's earlier film, Hamilton, at the Film Forum June 12-13!
