It's Tea Time at SIFF Cinema!
SIFF Cinema is bursting at the seams with wonderful films this week. And it's a great selection of films too! There's a series of classic films dealing with politics and elections (with three sets of double-features!), a couple of recent films about tea, a great family classic film and a benefit screening for SIFF: Here's a quick look at the week ahead...

If you've never seen Broderick Crawford's Oscar-winning performance as Willie Stark in All The King's Men, then you've just got to be at SIFF Cinema on Monday night. The film itself also won the Oscar (for Best Picture) and Mercedes McCambridge won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Sadie Burke. A definite must-see.
The two "Tea" films coincide with the first annual Northwest Tea Festival, held Saturday and Sunday at Seattle Center (in the Olympic and Orcas Rooms in the Northwest corner of Seattle Center, just north of Key Arena) and runs Saturday 10am-6pm & Sunday 10am-4pm. Entry is FREE to the public, with a suggested donation of $5. What's goin' on? Tea samples (YEA!) from around the world! Also, cooking-with-tea demonstrations, hands-on classes about brewing, tasting, and selecting teas, and lots more!
Sooo...what other 35mm gems are in town showing on a big screen (where they belong) this week? SAM's SOLD OUT Film-Noir series continues Thursday with Tomorrow Is Another Day. Usually, there are a few tickets available the night of the screening. And for Friday & Saturday late night fun, you just can't go wrong with 35mm prints of Repo Man (Grand Illusion 11pm) and Princess Mononoke (Egyptian midnights).
There is 1 return arrival of a SIFF 2008 film this week: Sukiyaki Western Django.
