Translations
The Seattle Transgender Film Festival
Translations: Seattle Transgender Film Festival is a groundbreaking film festival that provides the Pacific Northwest with a venue for films by, for, and about transgender people and the issues facing the transgender community. Launched in 2006, Translations is one of only a few transgender film festivals in the world, and places emphasis on visibility and positive representations.
Translations is produced by Three Dollar Bill Cinema, an organization that strengthens, connects, and reflects diverse communities through queer film and media. We recognize that the term transgender is an umbrella term that fits many different types of people, as well as not fitting some people at all. We strive to provide a place for the exploration of transgender identities and issues through cinema, as the community continues to evolve with time.
Translations includes programs such as presentations, clip shows, discussions, premieres, and archival films.
Jury and Audience awards are given for Best Narrative Feature, Best Documentary Feature, Best Narrative Short/Midlength, Best Documentary Short/Midlength, Best Transgenre Short/Midlength and Best Narrative Erotic
