For the fourth consecutive year, the City of Shoreline and Shoreline Community College are pleased to announce the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will host its northernmost venue in Shoreline. 30 films screenings will take place May 24 through June 2 at the Shoreline Community College Theater.
“Once again, we are proud to partner with Shoreline Community College in welcoming SIFF to Shoreline,” exclaimed Mayor Will Hall. “Hosting SIFF in Shoreline is part of the City and the College’s ongoing collaboration to grow our creative-industries cluster and provide students with hands-on learning opportunities.”
The public is invited to attend Shoreline Community College’s Opening Night Film Scholarship Benefit Party on Friday, May 24, 5:30-7:00 p.m. to enjoy wine tasting, hors d’oeuvres, a meet and greet, and the screening of the Opening Night film and Sundance Film Festival winner, Brittany Runs a Marathon.

Tickets for single film screenings are $15 each and daily concession sales (which include popcorn, soda, candy, ice cream, beer, and wine) will also support the scholarship.
“We are so pleased to once again open our doors for this special festival and provide such a high-quality art and entertainment event to our local community,” said Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D., President of Shoreline Community College. “We also treasure the engaged learning opportunities SIFF presents for our students, including the interactions and classroom visits they get to have with world-class filmmakers.”
