ECCC and SIFF Cinema present Back to the Future with Christopher Lloyd!
Emerald City Comicon and SIFF Cinema present Back to the Future with Christopher Lloyd on Saturday night, March 31st at the Uptown!

Over a quarter of a century since it became a part of pop culture history, the beloved 1985 film Back To The Future returns to the big screen for one night only - with special guest Christopher Lloyd in person. Lloyd will arrive at the Uptown in a visual spectacular not to be missed, leading a procession of over two dozen DeLoreans, courtesy of the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club. He will then take part in a special pre-film Q&A, moderated by John Carlson from radio station KOMO 1000.

This special one-show-only event will also feature a Back to the Fashion 50s/80s Costume Contest. One lucky winner with the best 50s or 80s garb (including any of the outfits featured in the film) will win prizes including passes to Emerald City Comicon and SIFF Cinema, as well as an autograph and photo with Lloyd.

For information and tickets to the event, please visit SIFF.net!
