(OUTscene NW) 17th Seattle Gay & Lesbian Film Festival Closes Announces Winners of Jury and Audience Awards!
SEATTLE
- October 23 - The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (SLGFF)
ended its 17th run October 21 with the announcement of its Jury and
Audience Awards. Deeply personal stories, laugh
out loud comedies, timely documentaries, poignant dramas, premieres
with big-name stars and cutting edge works from local and emerging
talent all highlighted this year’s programming. SLGFF is produced by
award-winning Seattle nonprofit, Three Dollar Bill Cinema.
“It
made me proud to see the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival bring
together such diverse crowds with our film programs and special events,”
said Jason Plourde, Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s Executive Director.
“Our 11 day film festival became a special place for all people to view
and discuss LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) stories from
around the world, and that included queer women of color, heterosexual
religious conservatives and high school GSAs (Gay-Straight Alliances)
from across the region. And with Referendum 74 so close in the polls, it
was especially important to provide this forum and increase visibility
for our community.”
The
festival had five sold out shows, notably the Centerpiece screening of
CLOUDBURST, starring Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker, and packed
venues throughout the festival, particularly for audience favorites such
as the Opening Night comedy STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, the beautiful
spectacle of SWAN LAKE in 3D and the local celebrity-studded WAXIE MOON
IN FALLEN JEWEL.

(OUTscene NW) PRE-view: The Continuous Thread at Mind Unwind in West Seattle!!
Marion Behr, drawing with pen on paper just letting the thoughts flow, mulling over the events of the day. Robroy Chalmers re purposes dark dense prints and drawings referencing his recent move across the USA, making them fly and lightly swirl around the room. Marcia Widenor’s knitted paper clothing charges the viewer to wonder about the stories that inspired the fabrication of these beautiful objects. Aileen Bassis asks viewers to draw places from the past on note cards, ‘Memory Maps’. Thinking about the nature of memory and how this has fascinated people throughout time she decided to use quotes from different philosophers, along with the photographs taken at the time, to document their experience of memory. Anna Hurwitz uses her collection of Barbie Dolls in an installation called “Stitch ‘n Bitch”. Jewelry designer, Blythe Carling is weaving her thread with metal and stones and will have pieces on exhibit and for sale.
