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.

Two members of the Seattle Sounders professional soccer team will be on hand to introduce one of the films at next month's Gig Harbor Film Festival. The picture, 2007's "Her Best Move," about a teen soccer phenom named Sara competing for a spot on the U.S. Women's National Team, will screen at 6 p.m. Sept. 12, the festival's first full night of public screenings. It and all other films in the festival will be shown at the Uptown multiplex theater, 4649 Point Fosdick Drive N.W. Festival spokewoman Paula Lillard said the Sounders members, whose names will be announced later, will be at the theater at 5 p.m. to sign autographs and talk with fans.
Another celebrity attending the festival will be Lillard's son, actor Matthew Lillard. He'll be introducing two films he's starred in. Both will also be shown on the 12th. "One of Our Own," a 2007 drama about a complicated surrogate parenting situation, is scheduled to screen at 8:30 p.m., and 1994's "Serial Mom," a John Waters' comedy about a loving suburban mother who also happens to be a serial killer, will play at midnight. Kathleen Turner plays the murdering mom and Lillard plays her son.
The festival, Gig Harbor's first, will run through Sept. 14.
