I know you'll find it hard to believe if you live in the Puget Sound area, but this weekend we're scheduled for yet more rain. Like a good Seattleite, I like my rain and dark cloud cover as much as the rest of you, but even I'm starting to get excited at the occasioal glimpses of blue sky and sunshine. As always, though, you have lots of movie options to keep you happy, and chances are whatever theater you choose, there's a coffee shop nearby to get your obligatory caffeine fix to boot.
This week brings us the Seattle Arab and Iranian Film Festival (March 31-April 6), and what a lineup! The festival has some promising films lined up, including Sundance winner Iraq in Fragments, Gate of the Sun, a 278-minute epic film about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as told through the 50 year history of an uprooted Palestinian family, and documentary The Color of Olives. Check out the full schedule here.

This week's weather report for the lovely Puget Sount area: rain, followed by more
rain, with occasional showers breaking through. Yup, it's March in Seattle. Fortunately for us, my fellow
Seattleites, it's always raining film in Seattle as well. I know, 'round here we don't let a little rain stop us from
getting out and doing our biking, hiking and mountain climbing, but when you get done with all that, go bask in the
warm glow of the projector light and watch one of the many cool films showing around the Seattle.

Joyeux Noël trailer

Best foreign film Oscar nominee Joyeux
Noël will finally be released in the US by Sony Pictures Classics (on a limited scale, of course, seeing
as how it's foreign and lacking in martial arts, and therefore no one will see it) in early March. The film tells the
extraordinary true story of a World War I Christmas Eve truce, during which German, French, and British soldiers
climbed out of their trenches to celebrate the holiday together. Described in Variety as "proudly
old-fashioned," with "multiple resonances for the current world," the movie has received uniformly
strong reviews and certainly deserves to be seen - and, obviously, an Oscar win (the ceremony takes place two days
after the film's US release) would help.In the meantime, a new American trailer (which, because I'm a huge sap, very nearly made me cry) has been released, so we can watch that as we await its release.
