Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel's swoonworthy indie darling (500) Days of Summer has its final SIFF screening today at the Egyptian at 4:30 p.m. We tell you this not because the film needs our promotional help, but because you need to get there early to ensure you get a seat--at yesterday's screening, they were turning people away. Looks like there's still a few tix available, and at the matinee price ($8) no less. If you'd like something still indie, but non-SIFF-related, there's a free screening tonight of the Dave Eggers-penned pregnant couple road movie Away We Go at the Uptown at 7 p.m. You can still pick up a pass at the Downtown Diesel store.

Saturday, May 9th, the Northwest Film Forum teams up with 826 Seattle to present a special screening of Away We Go, the latest film by Sam Mendes. The movie will be in theaters June 5th, but this sneak-peek will be at the Harvard Exit with Dave Eggers (who wrote the screenplay along with his author wife Vendela Vida) on-hand for a post-film Q&A. Away We Go is your basic coming-of-age road-trip thing, except this time around the people coming of age are a mid-30s couple (John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph) expecting their first child. So their misadventure-laden journey is not just about finding themselves, it's also about finding the best place for their family. What is the meaning of home? And so on and so forth.
