We’re excited that Seattle International Film Festival’s DocFest has returned for a second year, giving us the chance to see fabulous documentaries that you may not get the chance to see anywhere else.
The 2022 lineup includes the buzzworthy Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Winner All the Beauty and the Bloodshed following activist Nan Goldin’s fight against the opioid epidemic, Rover Opportunity documentary Good Night Oppy (which I’m dying to see!), and tonight’s opening night film on the groundbreaking television show “Reading Rainbow”, Butterfly in the Sky.
Moviepie’s Vickie was already able to catch some of the other featured films at Toronto’s HotDocs festival, including Still Working 9 to 5 (a deep dive into the impact of the original film, and featuring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton), No Simple Way Home (about a young woman dealing with her political ties to South Sudan), and Come Back Anytime (a full-pie hug of a food movie about a beloved Tokyo ramen restaurant). As the fest rolls on, come back to Moviepie for more reviews.
Most films will be in-person screenings at SIFF Cinema Uptown, and will feature many special guests. Some films will also be available streaming during the fest. Check the festival website for the full schedule and ticket information!
