It’s the penultimate night of the SIFF-Renton Film Festival and the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center is showing a double feature tonight.
First, at 6 p.m., is a showing of “Full Circle,” about a group of irrepressible senior citizens living in a nursing home in China who experience renewed, youthful energy when they decide to compete in a televised acting and variety show competition.
Then, at 8:30 p.m. is “Aayna Ka Bayna.” In this kinetic mash-up of the Step Up films and the musical Moulin Rouge, nine Marathi Indian boys living in an oppressive juvenile home challenge their circumstances by banding together to enter a prominent dance competition. It’s explosive, innovative, and crowd-pleasing fun.
The IPAC box office is open about 30 minutes prior to the start of the first screening of the day. Filmgoers can pick up their tickets at will call.
The Renton part of the festival concludes Wednesday.
Tickets are also available online.
