LGBTQ SIFF 2019: The Final Week

June 4, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

Siff2019RED Box

It’s the FINAL COUNTDOWN for LGBTQ Films at the 45th annual Seattle International Film Festival as the festival winds its way to closing night on Sunday, June 9th. (Of course, SIFF continues year round with screenings at its own venues at The Uptown and Egyptian Cinemas and at its own screening room at its Seattle Center main office.)

Closing out the queer films this week are dramas from Brazil and comedies from Italy and Austrian psycho dramas and satires from Sweden. Not to mention a locally made documentary about some stripping faux cowboys and a big fancy documentary about legendary fashion desire/Liza’s Best Friend, Halston.

Check out more on these films down below and on the last few LGBTQ screenings at the SIFF website, HERE.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

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.
