TheTwoOhSix Picks - 2023 Seattle International Film Festival

This year, there are 264 movies (features and shorts) from filmmakers in 74 countries/regions around the world with just about any genre you can think of represented in some fashion. It was tough to narrow this down to just a few selections so my list includes 20 different feature films, documentaries, and shorts blocks. Each title links to the movie's corresponding page on the SIFF website.
