The vast medium boasts works that can move us to tears just as it does those that may melt your face off. This year, the 50th Annual Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) has films that do each of those things and, in extra special cases, both at the same time. Taking place in theaters from May 9-19 and virtually May 20-27, SIFF's got a whole lot in store—261 films in total.
