Once Upon a Time in Seattle

Once Upon a Time in Seattle

2026•1h 41m•PG

A 40-films-within-a-film adventure chronicling Seattle's heyday on the silver screen

Comprised of moments from over 40 films shot in Seattle, and a few irresistible facsimiles, Once Upon a Time in Seattle is part love letter, part loony action adventure, and part free-associative meditation on the transience of landscape in a city that has always had a complicated relationship with honoring its past while moving swiftly into the future.
