Special Event and Benefit Screening of The Breach

The first week of October in Seattle is shaping up to be a robust one for anadromous fish films.

Just a few days after Shane Anderson's film Wild Reverence makes its Seattle premier at the SIFF Uptown, the SIFF Egyptian will be hosting a benefit screening of Mark Titus's film The Breach.

Film goers will be treated to wild salmon prepared by chef Tom Douglas, a Q&A with the filmmakers and special guests, and live music by Ray Troll. Even better is that proceeds from the event will benefit the SIFF and the fight to save Bristol Bay.

Better than Shark Week

When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. And when the high-speed winds form tornadoes in the desert, nature’s deadliest killer rules water, land, and air.

“Sharknado” is a new B-movie, produced for the Syfy channel, that that pits hundreds of man-eating sharks against plastic-surgery victim Tara Reid and the rest of the silicone-flavored populace of Los Angeles.

Silver King: The Birth of Big Game Fishing

WGCU in Southwest Florida recently aired what looks like an interesting documentary on tarpon and the birth of big game fishing. Can't tell if this is going to get any broader play but it airs again on 4/25 so tune in if you live in the WGCU viewing area. 

In 1885, a single, sensational catch at Sanibel Island’s Tarpon Bay made international news -- and revolutionized sport fishing. For the first time on record, a mighty, silver-sided tarpon was taken on a rod and reel, a feat that created a frenzy for the fierce-fighting fish -- and made southwest Florida the epicenter of a brand-new sport.
