Three Dollar Bill Announces Opening/Closing Films for Translations Film Festival 2019

March 27, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

TranslationsPoster2019

Three Dollar Bill Cinema has released information about the upcoming TRANSLATIONS: SEATTLE TRANSGENDER FILM FESTIVAL which is happening the weekend of May 3-5, 2019 in various locations around the city. It’s the 14th go around for the popular festival that showcases film and video made by and for the transgender community, one of the few such trans specific festivals in the world. 

Fans of the festival will note it’s been scaled back for 2019 from the usual week long festival in the past; Three Dollar Bill decided to present a solid weekend of quality films/events rather than try to fill out a week with “filler”.

They also announced both the opening and closing films for this year’s festival: THE GARDEN LEFT BEHIND, which just won an award at SXSW, will screen May 2nd at Northwest Film Forum and JACK & YAYA will close out the Festival on Sunday, May 5th at Gay City.

Early bird tix/passes for Three Dollar Bill members are on sale now; general admission tickets available starting next week, Monday April 1st when the full schedule will be announced.

If you would like to VOLUNTEER for the festival and earn free tickets (also a great way to meet new people!) then attend their Volunteer Meeting on April 15th at Gay City….more info on that event, HERE.

Opening Night: THE GARDEN LEFT BEHIND

Flavio Alves; USA; 2019; 88 mins

Northwest Premiere

Fresh from its premiere at SXSW (where the film won the audience award!) comes an incredibly timely film about Tina, a young transwoman, and her grandmother Eliana, as they navigate Tina’s transition and their struggle to build a life as undocumented immigrants in New York City. Tina (played with poise and depth by newcomer Carlie Guevara) luckily has a supportive group of transwomen friends but is faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, including violent threats in the streets and a lack of commitment from her lover. Director Flavio Alves (TOM IN AMERICA, TWIST 2014) employed trans actors in this exceptionally well-crafted first feature that will leave you on your feet and ready for action.

The film JACK & YAYA will close out the Translations Film Festival on Sunday, May 5, 2019.

Closing Night: JACK & YAYA

Jen Bagley & Mary Hewey; USA, 2018, 83 mins.

West Coast Premiere

Jack and Yaya’s friendship rivals the closest of bonds. Neighbors since toddlerhood, they have a deep, supportive connection that ensures that they are never alone as they endure the many trials associated with being trans. These two created safe spaces for one another to grow and explore their identities before they could truly understand it for themselves. This documentary follows their path to discovery as well as that of their friends and family. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt documentary that reminds us of the power of lifelong friendship.
