Seattle is home to a number of interesting film festivals; one of them is the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival which runs from October 12 through October 21 this year.

There are always interesting films at the SLGFF; this year’s festival opens with The Walker starring Woody Harrelson and Lily Tomlin. During the course of its run, the festival also will show
over 150 narrative features, documentaries, local films and shorts at venues like the Cinerama Theatre, the Harvard Exit Theatre and Northwest Film Forum.

The wide variety of festival programming also includes presentations about gay television (including a premiere episode of the new Logo series Exes & Ohs), An Evening with Jane Lynch (The L Word, Best in Show, The 40 Year Old Virgin), and “Sing Along”–an audience participation event that this year features one of the best bad movies ever, Xanadu with its simultaneously too simple and yet too overly complicated plot, bad (even for the days) costuming and sometimes weak but always catchy songs.

The festival’s closing night film Itty Bitty Titty Committee, is directed by Jamie Babbit and features songs from Pacific Northwest favorites Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill and Le Tigre.

Festival passes and single event tickets are on now via ticketwindowonline.com, by phone at (206) 325-6500 and at all Ticket/Ticket outlets.
