Festival Poster Reveal: Escape to the Reel World

The 2025 Seattle International Film Festival returns in person May 15-25 & virtually on the SIFF Channel May 26-June 1. We're excited to reveal our 2025 Festival poster art created with longtime creative partner WONGDOODY, and to celebrating independent cinema as a destination together.

“Working with the WONGDOODY team each year to create our branding is the perfect inspirational kickstart to our Festival planning,” said SIFF Artistic Director Beth Barrett, “This year, we really wanted to focus on the opportunities art and cinema can provide as a safe haven for us all. Cinema can be an escape, that’s true, but it can also be a place to educate ourselves and explore the truths of those who are different from us. We all need that inspiring trip to the cinema more now than ever; the theater is a destination worth traveling to.”

The full lineup will be revealed with tickets on sale to members on April 23. Tickets on sale to the public April 24. Passes and ticket packs available now.
