Three Dollar Bill Has Many Treats In Store…Including A “Labyrinth” Screening

November 14, 2022• byMichael Strangeways

Three Dollar Bill Cinema might be done with last month’s Seattle Queer Film Festival but they have several big events in the weeks ahead…including online screenings, wine parties and in person screenings of beloved films from the past.

Coming up this week on Thursday, November 17th, an online screening and discussion of the film WILDHOOD. It’s a part of Indigenous Queer Story Month and it’s a partnership event with Real Rent Duwamish.

More info:

Join us for a virtual watch party for INDIGENOUS QUEER-STORY MONTH! We’ll be watching WILDHOOD and then having a community discussion about the film via Zoom. Watch with us on Zoom or use any device with Hulu to stream the film!
THIS IS A FREE PROGRAM! Any purchase other than the FREE price is a donation to our fundraiser for Real Rent Duwamish!

About WILDHOOD:
In a rural east-coast trailer park, Link (Philip Lewitski) lives with his toxic father and younger half-brother Travis (Avery Winters-Anthony). When Link discovers his Mi’kmaw mother could still be alive, it lights a flame and they make a run for a better life. On the road, they meet Pasmay (Canadian Screen Award Winner, Joshua Odjick), a pow wow dancer drawn to Link. As the boys journey across Mi’kma’ki, Link finds community, identity and love in the land where he belongs. Get tickets: https://www.goelevent.com/…/IndigenousQueer…

For all you winos out there, it gets EVEN BETTER on Tuesday, November 29th, when Elsom Cellars will host a Wine Release Party with Three Dollar Bill Cinema. It’s a way to enjoy your favorite bevvie AND support your favorite non-profit film event producing group!!!
