WHAT WE DO
Three Dollar Bill Cinema provides access to films by, for, and about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their families, and a forum for LGBT filmmakers to share and discuss their work with audiences. We curate themed screenings throughout the year and produce programs in partnership with other arts, cultural, and service delivery organizations in the Greater Seattle area.
OUR PROGRAMS
The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival
Our chief program is The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. The festival has been a part of the Greater Seattle queer community and beyond since 1996 and has become the largest festival of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. The festival has garnered national recognition for showcasing extraordinary and award-winning work including the Northwest premiere of TRANSAMERICA and the Seattle premiere of SHORTBUS. The festival is also an important venue in the local Seattle film scene, and inspires members of our community to express their creativity through film and video.
Translations: The Seattle Transgender Film Festival
Three Dollar Bill Cinema and Gender Odyssey present this groundbreaking film festival now in its second year. All of the programs Three Dollar Bill Cinema produces are inclusive of the transgender community. However, this trans-focused event showcases films made by, for, or about transgender people. The 2007 festival will take place August 31-September 2.
Cineoke!

If you can make it out to The Central in Seattle tomorrow it would mean a lot I hate get on stage and playing for the floor. I'll be on stage at 10pm to 11pm with my band Fulcrum and I must say this is one of the best band's I've ever been in. So I'm sure it's going to be a good show! Let me know if you can make it!
In a world were everything happens for a reason I have come to find there is no control only focus. We don't loose control we loose focus of a vision that is with in us all. I believe it is that very vision that makes us leaders and because of this I have come to find that there is no need for a follower. For the only thing you need to follow is your vision. What ever that my be. It seem that there are many people in this world that have no passion or drive to be really good at something and because of this they become followers of another persons dream. Or shell I say vision but if it's one thing I've learned growing up as a musician it is that all people her music differently but I'm sure you know that. Hears what you may not know. The reason why. It has to do with the time and place we experience events in are lives. I believe this is why we hear and see art in a different way. This is what give's the reason for people choosing rap over rock or country over jazz or both or all and so on. It's like were all just hearing what others have to say and at the same time shearing what we know.
So I was downtown Seattle last weekend and this bum on the side of the road off 1st street gave me this poem. I'm think about using it in a song but not to sure if I should or not. Let me know what you think of it...
Midnight of a brave soul advances on the page of a burning book to heal the words of a hart while the eyes that read invite the most serene light to wash away the simple spell of hate on the dark cover of a noble letter.

Call for Submissions: Anarchist Yarns
Deadline: August 1st Length: 1000 words or less How to Submit: email louisvuittonnight@gmail.com
Description: Anarchism has a bad rap. There are so many myths and negative assumptions about anarchists floating around that to wade through them all would turn anyone into a creature from the black and red lagoon. Which is why we’re devoting a whole issue to our stories from the silly to the poignant, from the hilahrious to the just fucked. We want everyone and their granny anarchy to write in a short little story that presents the real side of anarchists, whatever that may be. Don’t pull your punches though, no one’s selling anything, we want the truth and nothing but the truth. We are particularly interested in getting some good old punk house stories or stories about all the crazy anarchist co-op shit that goes down but we are equally interested in the personal side of things, the tears behind the sunglasses, so to speak. Honestly, it can even be made up if necessary, fuck the truth, in fact a bed-time story or two wouldn’t hurt anyone. We know you have your stories, and you have a full month, so make it work!
ps. We’re still looking for anarchist erotic stories, do anarchists even have sex anymore?
