By now you should have your SIFF sea legs. We hope so, as you have a 13-plus hour day of film ahead of you.

The first film hits the screen today at 11am, with the last film piercing the Capitol Hill nightlife at midnight. In between there are 30 SIFF films to choose from across the city so some pre-planning and forced eliminations are necessary. But don’t worry, there’s a good chance the films you don’t see today will screen another time this week.

Here’s a few films to consider as you start your planning.

The Family Picture Show

SIFF Uptown: 11:30 am

Always a delight. Grab the kiddos (or not) and check out 80-minutes of animated and live action shorts. You’ll walk away with a smile on your face – a great way to start the day.

Love to Love You, Donna Summer

SIFF Uptown: 2:30 pm

The name says it all. If you lived during the disco era – this doc on the Queen of Disco is for you.

The Mattachine Family

AMC Pacific Place: 1:00 pm

Catch this world premiere about modern fatherhood told from a queer perspective. This dramedy stars Nico Tortorella along with Emily Hampshire – from “Schitt’s Creek” fame.  

Stephen Curry: Underrated

SIFF Uptown: 5:30 pm

He may have just been eliminated from the NBA playoffs by LeBron James and the Lakers, but that doesn’t make this doc any less fascinating. See how Curry got his start as an undersized college player to becoming one of the best players in the NBA today.

Year of the Fox

SIFF Cinema Egyptian: 6:45 pm

Another world premiere. This one comes from filmmaker Megan Griffiths, who just happens to have some pretty strong Seattle ties. Her latest outing is based on a true story of a 17-year-old adoptee who has to deal with her parents’ divorce while also contending with unwanted advances from an older man.

Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes

SIFF Cinema: 9:00 pm

Jazz aficionados should be lined up for this one. The incomparable Max Roach is profiled in this doc that spans a career that lasted over 70 years. If you were lucky, you may have even seen Roach when he came through Seattle for a gig at Jazz Alley. A lot of jazz greats make an appearance including Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, and the great jazz singer Abbey Lincoln, who was once married to Roach.

The Last Exit

SIFF Cinema Egytian: Midnight

This thriller is a perfect way to end your night. There are brothers on the lam, there is a family hostage situation, and there is Joely Richardson at the center of it all. There’s enough here that will keep you away and on the edge of your seat.
