Yeah, it’s gorgeous out, but it’s almost hot enough that you can imagine how people in other cities retreat to air-conditioned movie theaters for relief. Luckily, SIFF has a fantastic lineup today. The Stranger’s recommendations for every slot in America’s biggest film festival continue below and at SIFF Notes Online: www.thestranger.com/siff:

Start off at Pacific Place, 2 pm: Again, you only have one option for the first afternoon slot, but this time, it’s a good one. Lindy West was evidently entranced by Children, a “meandering love letter to Icelandic loneliness.”

The late matinee is up for grabs. We liked the slightly sadistic French farce My Best Friend (4 pm at the Neptune), but you may prefer to take your chances with Anthony Hopkins’s experimental vanity project Slipstream (4 pm at the Egyptian) or the fine-sounding coming-out tale Outing Riley (5 pm at the Harvard Exit) or Agua (5 pm at SIFF Cinema), a beautiful movie about a doping scandal in swimming.

Settle in at the Harvard Exit at 7 pm for The Devil Came on Horseback, if you haven’t seen it yet. (Other good options are Doghead (Pacific Place at 7 pm), if you won’t be able to see the early matinee tomorrow, and the found-footage shorts program Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (Northwest Film Forum at 7 pm), which has some intriguing-sounding films.) I don’t really know why you would want to see a live episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio, but if that’s your thing, too bad. Remains of the Day and the Tribute to Anthony Hopkins are sold out. Rush tickets may be available—just show up at the Egyptian and wait.

Also at the Harvard Exit, 9:30 pm: Do not miss Tsai Ming Liang’s (Goodbye Dragon Inn, What Time Is It There?) newest, I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone. It’s heartbreakingly gorgeous.

It makes mosquito netting and atmospheric particulates seem so romantic. (The acid disfiguration doc Crazy Love, at Pacific Place, 9:30 pm, is also awesome, but it’s opening here just as the festival is winding down on June 15, so I’d go with Tsai.)
