BEST OF THE FEST ENCORE FILMS
TICKETS
BLISS
FROM THE JURY:Bliss was an authentic and gentle peek into the lives of two women and a relationship that grabbed us with its genuine performances and solid craftsmanship throughout. By the end we felt like I’d walked with them through the highs and lows and found home on the other side. It brings authenticity through two winning lead performances and incredibly confident, immersive form towards its subjects. 

CONTENT WARNINGS: VULGAR LANGUAGE, IMPLIED VIOLENCE, NUDITY, EXPLICIT SEXUAL SITUATIONS, DRUG USE
TICKETS
GEMMEL & TIM
FROM THE JURY:Gemmel & Tim is a unique and powerful film about the horrific murders of Black queer men, Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean. This film goes beyond the usual true crime genre in the ways it truly humanizes and helps viewers get to know not only the victims, but their communities and their families through their struggle to hold the murderer, negligent politicians, and law enforcement accountable.
This important story brings light to not only the tragic deaths of Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean, but to the value of their lives in a system that does not value Black queer lives.
CONTENT WARNINGS: IMPLIED VIOLENCE, DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE, DISCUSSION OF RACIAL VIOLENCE

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.
