It’s festival season in Seattle and we’re not talking about just music. The 43rd annual Seattle International Film Festival is currently underway as directors, producers, actors, and fans flock to the Emerald City to engage in what is considered to be the biggest film festival here in the states. With over 400 films spread over 25 days, SIFF, as its’ locally referred to, offers a little something for everyone, including electronic dance music fans! Here are three SIFF features that explore the figures and moments within the dark and controversial world of EDM, and how you can get in on their respective screenings:
