Opening Night Gala & Festival Passes

Enter to win a pair of Opening Night Gala tickets and a pair of Festival Passes. Festival passes get you into every film at the Festival!

The 34th Seattle International Film Festival kicks off on Thursday, May 22 with the premiere of "Battle in Seattle," a gripping dramatization of events that rocked the world when Seattle was host to the World Trade Organization. The evening unfolds at Seattle Center's McCaw Hall with a red carpet welcome for expected guests and stars of the film Charlize Theron and Martin Henderson, as well as director Stuart Townsend. A fabulous gala party will follow with live entertainment, and complimentary champagne cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

In addition to Charlize Theron and Martin Henderson, "Battle in Seattle" stars Woody Harrelson, André Benjamin, Michelle Rodriguez, Ray Liotta, Connie Nielsen, and Channing Tatum. "Battle in Seattle" was partially filmed in Seattle, and SIFF expects many others from the large cast to be part of the red carpet gathering. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to walk the red carpet with the stars at SIFF Opening Night, one of the city's most anticipated and high-profile events, attracting celebrities, VIPs, and public figures from across Seattle's arts, cultural, and political communities.
