TwoOhSix Picks for SIFF 2017 Part 1 - Star Power

25 Films for 25 Days of SIFF

Over the course of nearly four weeks, the Seattle International Film Festival will feature 400 films from around the world and, since it would be physically impossible to watch them all, I am giving you a starting point with this list of the films that I am most looking forward to watching.
