If you have been going to SIFF over the years, you know it starts around May. This year it opened on Thursday, and the first film you don’t want to miss is Sita sings the Blues by a NY based animator Nina Paley - as Seattle Weekly puts it, an “imaginative, giddily witty, visually delicious take on the Ramayana, the ancient Sanskrit epic”. It shows tomorrow, Sunday, at 1:30pm and Monday at 6:45 pm at the Uptown theater. I am going with my almost 5-year old, and will try covering as many great finds for kids at this year’s SIFF as possible. Enjoy!
