A Queer Film Festival For Snohomish County

Out country singer Chely Wright is the focus of “Wish Me Away” the documentary screening at the SnoGLOBE Winter Film Festival in Everett next Sunday.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to living in the ‘burbs for members of the LGBTQ family. It’s arguably cheaper but at a cost…a sense of feeling cut-off from queer cultural and entertainment events. But, there are some groups out there dedicated to providing events and programs to the queer community living in area codes that are not 206.

SnoGLOBE Equality Alliance of Snohomish County is one of those groups and they’re presenting another film event for the LGBTQ community of the “north lands”. Their latest installment in their film screening series, the 2013 Winter Film Festival, is happening next Sunday, March 24, 2013 from 1pm to 6:30pm at the PUD Auditorium, 2320 California Street in Everett. (Though, we’re confused why they are calling it a Winter Film Festival, since Spring starts on Wednesday….) The documentary about out country singer Chely Wright, “Wish Me Away” is first up, screening at 2:10pm followed by short films, “A Girl Named Kai”, “FAHISHA” and “I’m Not A Boy” and closing out with the hour long, “Out Late” at 4:40pm. Here’s all the info, including a link to buy tickets!
