The power of the silver screen goes beyond the efforts of big-budget computer-generated imaging, celebrity billing, clichéd genre catering, and monster raspberry cookies. Today’s Groupon celebrates the movies that unite audiences world-wide: for $25, get an Enthusiast Membership to the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), a $55 value. Expand your cinematic horizons to see how filmmakers from all over the world translate their stories into moving picture-radios.
Without the extravagance of airfare or the blandness of steamed spinach, Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) gives you globe-hopping status with a lens into original stories told from the perspectives of a variety of cultures and histories. Laud your level of refinement over the blockbuster appetites of your peers with access to the latest works from Marco Risi and Donatella Maiorca, or nostalgic masterpieces, such as 1962’s Le Combat Dans L’île and 1950’s Rashomon. The Enthusiast Membership is tax-deductible and gets you discounted tickets to the SIFF Cinema and Festival as well as early bird discounts for Festival tickets and passes. The accompanying membership card also gets you invites to complimentary preview screenings of shows you won’t be able to see or brag about seeing anywhere else.
See movies that haven’t already had the plot given away through high-adrenaline trailers, and witness stories told to illuminate the human experience rather than to cash in on it. Impress the masses with your ability to seamlessly integrate the names of foreign movies and actors into everyday conversation. The elevated escapism offered by SIFF will redefine the theater experience for you. And, with a whole new film center coming in the new year, your oasis for international fare is getting even oasisier.
