The 2024 Seattle International Film Festival (also referred to as SIFFty for this year) took place in theaters from May 9 to 19, 2024, and streaming May 20 to 27, 2024. SIFF announced an initial six films on March 14 ^[4] and the full lineup on April 17, 2024. ^{[5] [6]} This year's festival had 261 films ^[7] from 84 countries and regions. ^[3] The selections included 92 new and five archival features, 47 documentaries, and 115 short films. ^[2]

The festival took place at various locations, including the SIFF Cinema Uptown (3 screens), the SIFF Cinema Downtown, the SIFF Cinema Egyptian, the SIFF Film Center (a venue at Seattle Center), the AMC Theatres at Pacific Place, Majestic Bay Theatres, and Shoreline Community College Theater. ^[2] The festival sold nearly 95,000 tickets, and SIFF venues sold 18,000 pounds (8,200 kg) of popcorn. ^[8] Selected films from the festival ^[9] were online from May 20–27, 2024. ^[10] on the SIFF Channel. ^[3]

The opening, Thelma, occurred at the Paramount Theatre. ^[2] The closing was Sing Sing at the SIFF Cinema Downtown followed by a gala party at MOHAI. ^[11]

SIFFty name

Although the first festival was in 1976 and the occurrence in 2024 would seem to have indicated the 49th festival, in 1988 the festival organizers yielded to triskaidekaphobia, so that the "14th" festival occurred in its 13th year. ^{[12] [13]} SIFF chose the term SIFFty to mark the 50th edition of the film festival. ^[3]
