Over 26 international films to be shown over nine days at Shoreline Community College

The City of Shoreline and Shoreline Community College are pleased to announce the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will return to Shoreline, as the festival’s northernmost venue for the third consecutive year. Over 26 screenings will take place May 25 through June 2 at the Shoreline Community College Theater.

"Once again, we are proud to welcome SIFF to Shoreline," proclaimed Mayor Will Hall. "The state-of-the-art theater at Shoreline Community College provides movie lovers an exceptional experience as they enjoy movies from around the world."

Movie-goers are invited to attend Shoreline Community College’s Opening Night Benefit Party on Friday, May 25, 5:30-7:00pm to enjoy wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres, a meet and greet, and the screening of the Opening Night film (title to be announced).

Opening Night Benefit tickets are $50, the proceeds of which go to the Theater Arts and Digital Filmmaking Scholarship. Tickets for single film screenings are $14 each and daily concession sales (popcorn, soda, candy, beer, and wine) will also support the scholarship.

“Shoreline Community College is pleased to once again partner with the City of Shoreline to host the northernmost SIFF venue, bringing high quality arts and entertainment to the community,” said Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D., President of Shoreline Community College. 

“Each year we’ve hosted the Festival, we’ve been thrilled to welcome more than 3,000 guests to our theater, many of whom have never been to our campus before. Our students also have rich opportunities for hands-on learning during the festival and benefit from classroom visits and interactions with world-class filmmakers.”

With spacious seating for 360, the Shoreline Community College Theater was recently remodeled and provides a professional-grade viewing experience, featuring 4K digital video projection, surround sound, enhanced lighting, an orchestra pit, lobby, and concession area. Parking is free after 4pm and on weekends.
