FRIDAY JUNE 15

My Name is Myeisha
Winner of the SIFF 2018 FutureWave Award
The real-life story this film (adapted from a play) is based on might be two decades old, but it’s relevant enough to feel ripped from modern headlines: A young black woman goes out with friends, they get a flat tire, she stays in the locked car and falls asleep with a gun in her lap while waiting on a mechanic, and when her friends can’t wake her up, they call the cops for help, which ultimately ends in her death—in 12 shots. The film’s experimental production style, nonlinear storytelling, and direct-to-camera monologues can be dizzying and exhausting, but its way of using spoken word, rap, beatboxing, hiphop dance, and music to paint a vivid and intimate portrait of Myeisha beyond her last 24 hours—shedding light on her dreams, interests, opinions, memories, and overall personality—feels fresh and lively, revealing who she was and, more tragically, who she could have been.

The Guilty
Winner of the Golden Space Needle Award for Best Director
A police dispatcher receives a call from a woman who's been kidnapped by her violent ex-husband in this twisty minimalist Danish thriller, which won the Audience Award at Sundance as well as the Golden Needle here.

Thunder Road
Winner of the SIFF 2018 Grand Jury Prize for New American Cinema
A provincial police officer, losing his grip after the death of his beloved mother, attempts to cope with a rebellious daughter, a divorce, and a troublesome viral video in Jim Cummings's adaptation of his award-winning short film.

SATURDAY JUNE 16

Inventing Tomorrow
SIFF 2018 Documentary Grand Jury Prize Winner
Kids take on climate change at the world's biggest high school science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Is this feeling...hope?

The Russian Five
Audience Favorite
The Russian five were members of the Red Army hockey team in 1982, which meant they were members of the Soviet military and icons of Soviet dominance. Jim Devellano, coach of the Detroit Red Wings, set out to suborn them for the American side.

Prospect
Audience Favorite
Is this the first major work of Northwest science fiction? Indeed, it imagines a moon that is like the evergreen forests that surround Seattle. The whole planet is green—gothic green. And the light on this strange moon is sharply slanted like Northwest light. The superb film is about prospectors (a father and daughter) looking for a root-made gem that will make them rich. The daughter, however, is keen to get off the planet because the line to it is about to be shut down. But her father is money-mad. If he does not make it here, he will never make it anywhere in the galaxy. Translucent insects float through the air. There are other money-mad prospectors in the endless forest. You do not leave this planet without paying a big price. Money is the root of all evil. CHARLES MUDEDE

The Reports on Sarah and Saleem
Official Competition Grand Jury Prize
An affair between a Palestinian Arab and a Jewish Israeli married to an army colonel attracts the attention of security forces, who exploit the clandestine couple and inadvertently drive them closer together.

SUNDAY JUNE 17

Best of SIFF 2018 Shorts Audience Award Winners
Audience Favorites
See superb instances of short film in all genres from Finland, the US, Australia, and Ireland, including a documentary on a senior cat care center, an animation about a pirate and his monkey, a drama about a coma patient waking up and speaking a new language, and more.

Pick of the Litter
Winner of the SIFF 2018 Lena Sharpe Award
Watch five puppies—Primrose, Poppet, Patriot, Potomac, and Phil—grow up to become guide dogs. Or flunk out of guide dog school and just be cute pups.

The Last Suit
Winner of the SIFF 2018 Golden Space Needle Award for Best Actor
An extremely handsome and well-dressed Holocaust survivor from Argentina embarks on what feels like a final adventure to Poland to fulfill a promise he made during the Shoah. Though he’s charming and sympathetic, our hero is also a stubborn old man who has deeply disappointed all he’s sired. The quality and variety of the silk cravats in this film is enough to recommend it. But powerfully good acting and the heart-melting story of a survivor reckoning with an incomprehensibly painful past makes the film a must-see. RICH SMITH

Dead Pigs
New Directors Grand Jury Prize
A river full of mysteriously expired pork serves as the fulcrum for a series of loosely connected stories about getting by in modern China. Also, there’s a musical number or two. Chinese American director Cathy Yan’s debut is a daffy polyglot of a movie, quick-drawing between various moods and styles with zero hesitation. The film is very entertaining, with a wicked sense of humor—watch out for those end credits—and a downright hilarious performance by Vivian Wu, as an immovable object in a leopard spot bathrobe. ANDREW WRIGHT

MONDAY JUNE 18

Waru
Audience Favorite
On first look, it might seem like this film is too depressing to watch. Its eight vignettes (all directed by Maori women) revolve around the death of a young child named Waru. Each character is either directly connected to the child (family member, teacher) or part of the indigenous community that is plagued by the problems that resulted in his death (poverty, substance abuse). Since each part has a different writer/director, there is a variation in the style and quality of the content. But overall, the women’s stories are affecting and really stay with you. GILLIAN ANDERSON

TUESDAY JUNE 19

Best of SIFF 2018 Shorts Jury Award Winners
The jury has chosen! The very best of SIFF according to the judges includes the animated story of a Nazi hunter, a documentary about a Swedish girls dance troupe, a zebra love story, and more.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 20

Supa Modo
Audience Favorite
A town comes together to help a terminally ill girl become a superhero in this heartwarming/breaking film from Kenya.

Afghan Cycles
SIFF 2018 Documentary Special Mention
Meet the indomitable bicyclists of Bamiyan, a mountain province in Afghanistan, who defy the perception of their activity as a "morality crime" in order to become the country's first women's racing league.

THURSDAY JUNE 21

C'est la vie!
Audience Favorite
If you were a fan of The Intouchables, come back for more clowny, sentimental fun in this film about a caterer attempting to organize a wedding banquet in a 17th-century chateau while navigating a complicated relationship with one of his staff. Everything's supposed to be "sober, chic, and elegant," and of course, everything goes spectacularly wrong.

See You Up There
Audience Favorite
Albert Dupontel, a prolific and brilliant actor, helms and stars in his seventh film about three army lads sent on a suicide mission after World War I's armistice by their sadistic lieutenant. All three survive, but one of them, talented young artist Edouard (Nahuel Perez Biscayart, BPM) loses his jaw. Returning to daily life, Edouard becomes a seller of fake war monument designs, and the three men eventually team up to wreak revenge on the lieutenant who tried to send them to their deaths.
