SIFF 2026 rolls into Seattle next month with its usual sprawling, borderline-unruly lineup — hundreds of films from dozens of countries crammed into twenty-five days of screenings.

Bob Odenkirk does not read as an action star. He knows this. You know this.

Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby doesn’t announce itself. And yet, it arrives fully formed, like someone who’s spent enough time in therapy to know that the best medicine is to laugh at their own ridiculous idiosyncrasies. Premiering at Sundance, closing out Director’s Fortnight at Cannes, and now screening at SIFF, the film has quietly (and then...
Maria Bakalova is a star. The Borat Subsequent Moviefilm breakout not only captured national attention as Borat’s fictional daughter Tutar Sagdiyev in the 2020 mockumentary but she earned an Academy Award nomination for her efforts. Complete with uncomplimentary prosthetics and raggedy apparel, Bakalova fearlessly faced down judgmental southern debutants and, later, Rudy Giuliani’s roaming hands. But...
Look, just about the last thing on earth that anyone is craving nowadays is more COVID-19 talk. No one wants mask jokes or commentary on toilet paper shortages nor do they want to deep dive into the horrors of having lost 550,000 Americans and counting to a pandemic that quickly became a hot-button political issue....
An interview with 'Wrong Turn' director Mike P. Nelson where he discusses horror inspirations, genre as politics, and cuts for an R-rating.
The art of cinema is being systematically devalued and reduced to its lowest common denominator. Anyways, here’s what’s streaming now!

A masterfully assembled nightmare of all-encompassing horror, Ian Tucson’s 'Undertone' is as immersive as it is bone chilling, featuring truly elite sound…
