Now that the 2013 Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival is over I could now reveal my Picks for the Best, Good, Average, and (Not) Awful films coming to a Film Fest, Theater or DVD in the coming year.

BEST

I am DiVine (Pictured)
Jeffery Schwartz'(Vito) much anticipated doc on Divine is Super Entertaining!

The Falls 2:Testament
Jon Garcia's Sequel to last year's The Falls is once again Greatly written and acted. More Sex scenes and is better after you see part one first.

Birthday Cake-
All Star Cast plus the Writer/Director, Chad Darnell is Brilliant and has a nice Modern Family Mockamentary style; Simply Brilliant!

Big Joy (See SIFF Review)

Shorts
Spooners  (Won Best short at SIFF and at SLGFF)
Alaska is a Drag, (a Tale of Flash and glitz and guts. Loved it!)

SEATTLE - The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, presented by Xfinity (SLGFF) ended its 18th run October 20 and announced its Jury and Audience Awards at the Closing Night Gala. The festival is produced by award-winning nonprofit, Three Dollar Bill Cinema.

“I’m thrilled that we exceeded our attendance and box office goals,” Jason Plourde, Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s Executive Director said. “More importantly, audience members raved about the quality and fun of this year’s festival and filmmakers from around the globe commented on this being the best film festival they’ve ever attended. That kind of feedback makes me very proud and grateful to the staff and volunteers who make our festival so successful and respected.

Attendance figures for SLGFF broke all previous records. The festival had eight sold out shows, notably the Opening Night screening of I AM DIVINE, the stunning period piece REACHING FOR THE MOON and the unique live performance RETURN TO GREY GARDENS.

(SLGFF 2013) MK chats with Big Joy directors, Eric Slade and Stephen Sila!

by MK Scott

When I saw the trailer for Big Joy; The James Broughton Story and was intrigued with the persona of the man, but what I learned was Broughton was a Queer Pioneer in the same league as Harry Hay (They had an affair back in the 30's) and was part of the Radical poet group, Pre-Beatnik (The Allen Ginsberg era) and an Avant Garde Filmmaker, Pre-Warhol.

During this year's SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival), I had a chance to chat with the Filmmaker of the fascinating Doc.

Look For Big Joy at SLGFF on Sat, 10/12!

'Test;' is the new film by Chris Mason Johnson (The New Twenty) that has a little of 'Jeffery' meets a little of 'live and Kicking' set in the 1980's. I had a chance speak with Johnson this past June during SIFF 2013 and now it SLGFF screens it tomorrow at NWFF.
