Three Dollar Bill Cinema Announces Full Lineup For October Festival

September 14, 2024• byMichael Strangeways

Three Dollar Bill Cinema has announced the lineup for the 29th Seattle Queer Film Festival aka “SQFF”. Sadly, they’ve had to make some changes for this year’s festival as it gets harder and more expensive to put on these kinds of events without support both financially and from the community…not to mention the fact that fewer people want to see films in ACTUAL cinemas…steaming has really taken over the film festival world. This year’s SQFF will be in person only for the first weekend, October 10th through the 13th then the rest of the fest will only be virtual, from the 14th to the 20th.

All the info:

We’re thrilled to announce the full lineup for the 29th Seattle Queer Film Festival (SQFF)! This year’s festival features an incredible array of more than 100 films from 26 countries that celebrate diverse voices and stories, both in-person and virtually.
In-Person: October 10-13 Virtual: October 14-20
