Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

The Seattle International Film Festival is over for the year, but the festival staff has not been idle. It's launching a summer program of films for families, titled Films4Families. (What else?) It starts July 12 and runs every other Saturday through Sept. 20. Showings begin at 10 a.m. at the SIFF Cinema, 321 Mercer Street, McCaw Hall, at the Seattle Center. The box office opens a half hour before the each show.
The program kicks off on the 12th with "The Wizard of Oz." On July 26, the 1971 feature "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" with Gene Wilder will be screened. "The Secret Garden" arrives on Aug. 9 and "The Neverending Story" will be shown on Aug. 23. John Sayles' lovely Irish fable "The Secret of Roan Inish" plays on Sept. 6 and the minifestival wraps up on Sept. 20 with "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T."
Tickets are $7 for adults and $2 for young people under 18 when accompanied by an adult.
