Make a date to see some movies at SIFF 2018

The Seattle International Film Festival runs through June 10. You can get access to a daily watchlist by clicking here .

Or go on the festival website and consult the overall schedule .

SIFF is in its 44th year and is one of the longest film events in the world. If you dare to brave Seattle traffic, you just might find a film or two that you’ll admire — if not love.

On Friday’s edition of “Movies 101,” which runs weekly on Spokane Public Radio, Nathan Weinbender will report on his recent six-day jaunt through SIFF 2018. Nathan has a number of suggested views that likely will be available for viewing sometime soon, either in local theaters or through streaming services.

Just as one example, a movie that is scheduled to open at the Magic Lantern on Friday — Claire Denis’ “Let the Sunshine In” — recently played at SIFF.

And who doesn’t want to see a movie starring Juliet Binoche ?
