Seattle International Film Festival
Through Sunday, Cinerama, Pacific Place, Uptown, Egyptian, SIFF Cinema, Harvard Exit and other venues. Main box office: Pacific Place, Sixth Avenue and Pine Street, second level; open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, noon-6 p.m. Sunday. Info: 206-324-9996 or www.siff.net. Schedule is subject to change.Heading into its final weekend, SIFF 2008 returns for three days to the Cinerama, where Dan Ireland's "Jolene" has its world premiere at 9:30 tonight. SIFF's co-founder, Ireland previously scored with "The Whole Wide World" and "Mrs. Palfrey at The Claremont." Like those films, this adaptation of an E.L. Doctorow short story gives several superb actors a chance to demonstrate their range. Frances Fisher, Dermot Mulroney and Michael Vartan are especially impressive in change-of-pace parts, while the title role — a resilient girl who bounces back from a series of disastrous relationships — is capably handled by an Ireland discovery, Jessica Chastain.
