It’s going to feel like Hollywood in Renton tonight. Even the weather is warm.
The Seattle International Film Festival opens in Renton at 7:30 p.m. with a screening of “Black White and Blues” at the IKEA Performing Arts Center at Renton High School, followed by the opening-night gala at the Renton Pavilion Event Center across the street.
As of mid-Friday morning, some tickets were still available for the opening-night events. The box office at IPAC will open at 4 p.m. today for will-call customers and for ticket sales.
Of course, tickets for the screenings through Thursday night can be purchased online or at the IPAC box office before each screening.
The SIFF-Renton Film Guide was distributed in the May 6 Renton Reporter and is available online. Film guides are also available at the IPAC.
The IPAC and the Renton Pavilion Event Center will feel like Hollywood, with a diverse sampling of cuisine from eight Renton restaurants. There’ll be beer and wine. The producer of the opening-night film, Jeff Balis, will attend.
