The International Film Festival is an annual event that allows the City of Tacoma to share cultural aspects of each Sister City with its community members. In partnership with the Grand Cinema, the film festival brings you films from all the Sister Cities to help you better understand each city through an interactive experience. Film titles are chosen based on their connection with each Sister City and overall cultural influence. The festival begins February 1 and continues every Thursday through May 3. This screening is ‘Noticia Lejanas’, in honor of Tacoma’s sister city of Boca Del Rio, in Mexico. Doors open at 6:15 PM, followed by a brief cultural presentation at 6:30, and the screening begins at 6:45. For more information, visit http://sistercityfilmfest.org/
