SIFF WILL NEVER FORGET '99: SIFF kicks off its annual festival tonight with a showing of Battle in Seattle, about the historic 1999 WTO protests. According to the listing, "Weaving multiple storylines with a star-studded ensemble cast this imaginative drama revisits fact, fiction, and many myths surrounding those tumultuous few days." There will be a red carpet gala, and the whole nine—a good opportunity to elbow-rub with stars of those moving pictures all the kids are crazy about. **UPDATE** Advance tickets are long gone, but rush tickets *may* be available at the door prior to tonight's screening. They'll assess how many seats are available and sell tix from there approximately 15 minutes before the film begins. So if anyone wants to try their luck at getting in, it's probably a good idea to get there early. more ›
