Seattle, WA -- Three Dollar Bill Cinema is thrilled to announce the lineup for their 21st annual LGBTQ+ festival--the first year with the event’s NEW name! Formerly known as the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, the organization announced last year the change to a name more fitting of the diverse event the festival has become. TWIST: Seattle Queer Film Festival will take place October 13th-23rd at several locations around Seattle. The full film and event program, along with tickets and passes, are available online at twistfilmfest.org.
The 2016 opening night event befits the festival’s new, more inclusive name and programming vision. The evening’s program features the World Premiere of Seattle-based artist Clyde Petersen’s animated film, TORREY PINES, on Thursday, October 13th at 7:15pm at the Egyptian Theater. Produced with the assistance of Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s fiscal sponsorship program, TORREY PINES is an enthralling and visually stunning queer coming-of-age tale based on Petersen’s fascinating life story. The screening will include live musical accompaniment by Your Heart Breaks and special guests, including Clyde Petersen, Zach Burba, Jacob Jaffe, Lori Goldston, Kimya Dawson, Corey J. Brewer, Chris Looney, Art Petersen and the Beaconettes. Live foley and soundscape provided by Susie Kozowa.
