Notable Screenings
In recent years, the Seattle Cinerama has been one of the venues for the Seattle International Film Festival. In 2005, it opted out of the festival because it had the lucrative opportunity to show Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
The EMP|SFM in collaboration with SIFF operates the Science Fiction Fantasy Short Film Festival (SFFSFF). SFFSFF takes place annually every winter in Seattle, Washington at Cinerama.
In 2001, Warner Brothers chose the Seattle Cinerama as the theater in which to premiere the newly restored 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The film opened on October 5, 2001 and eventually opened in other cities around North America the following month.
2001: A Space Odyssey had an exclusive run locally at Seattle Cinerama for nearly two-and-a-half-years following its original release in the fall of 1968.
In 2012, a new 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" was paid to be produced by Paul Allen himself for the first annual Cinerama Science Fiction Film Festival. Due to rights issues, the studios own the new print. It has, however, been placed on "permanent loan" to the Seattle Cinerama.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
