Tunde Adebimpe and Kristen Wiig star in Sebastian Silva’s Sundance hit, “Nasty Baby” which will play the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival on Friday, October 16, 2015.
Last week, Three Dollar Bill Cinema announced that Freeheld, the Julianne Moore/Ellen Page true life lesbian drama would open the 20th Annual Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival on Thursday, October 8, 2015.
Today they announced the other 4 films that serve as anchor galas to the rest of the festival that runs from October 8 to Sunday, October 18, 2015.
There are, in order:
BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING
Loosely based on writer-director Joseph Graham‘s experiences in the ’90s, BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING weaves through the lives of four creative men during one night in the City of Brotherly Love.
Director Joseph Graham and actor Colman Domingo scheduled to attend.
PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL MONOGAMIST
This clever and fresh comedy offers thoughtful insight into romance, friendships, and growing up, all while getting to the heart of how it feels to be that person – the one who just can’t be single for more than a couple of months.
NASTY BABY
From Chilean director Sebastián Silva comes this dark dramedy that not only stunned audiences at this year’s Sundance Film Festival but also took home the distinguished Teddy Award for Best Feature at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival and the Best US Dramatic Feature award at Outfest 2015. Starring Kristen Wiig.
And, the Closing Night Gala Film is:
OUT TO WIN
Directed by Malcolm Ingram | 99 min. | US | 2015
This documentary traces modern LGBT history in sports through archival footage of events, sports media, and interviews of pioneers who have changed the landscape through their courage. Subjects include
University of Washington Husky Dave Kopay (NFL), who will be in attendance.

All these galas will feature after party events to be announced with the rest of the SLGFF20 schedule on September 17, 2015.
And, while I’m not supposed to tell you, you should also expect to see a certain documentary about a certain RPDR winning local drag queen at SLGFF20…and, a movie version of a certain beloved locally made webseries which also features the said drag queen and lots of other local talent…
If you say I told you so, I will admit…NOTHING!!

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
