What movie had a big impact on you? Why?
Cinema Paradiso...is a film about a coming-of-age story that explores themes of memory, love, loss, and the power of cinema. Along with a powerful musical score, this film is heartwarming, has satisfying lessons about love and grief, and life choices. It hits all the spots for friendship, loss, and relationships!
We have news from Erin Mhttps://www.amctheatres.com/showtimes/145294968/seatsiller, 2025 PTFF alumni who brought her film Boundary Waters to us last year for its Washington premiere. Boundary Waters got a name change to IF I TELL YOU and secured theatrical release.
IF I TELL YOU will be screening one night only at AMC ALDERWOOD MALL 16 THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2026 7:15 PM.
About IF I TELL YOU
Set against the rugged beauty of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters region, IF I TELL YOU is a tender, suspenseful family drama anchored by a quietly powerful Carol Kane and a beautifully observed lead performance from young Etienne Kellici.
Based on Lisa O'Donnell's Closed Doors, the film follows a 12-year-old boy trying to solve a mystery he is too young to fully understand.
Volunteer sign-up for the September Festival is in full swing, and we'd love your help reaching our goal of filling every volunteer shift well before Opening Night. Every volunteer earns a pass to the Fest, and now that this year's program has been announced, you can build your volunteer schedule around the films you're most excited to see.
