SIFF
Join SIFF and the Seattle Composers Alliance for an evening with composer Jason Staczek. Catch the film Keyhole, which Jason composed the music for, at the Uptown Theater immediately before the panel talk. In addition to Keyhole, Jason also composed music for two short films playing at this year’s SIFF, as well as co-writing music for the Festival’s now ubiquitous trailer. Seattle truly makes beautiful music for films, which is why you should attend this forum – no ticket or pass required.
