Translations 2010Is this a great town or what? Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, along comes Translations!, The Seattle Transgender Film Festival brought you by the wonderful folks at Three Dollar Bill Cinema. Translations, now in its fifth year running , this year promises a bumper crop of high quality headliners and edgy, independent local product.

“While there are many film festivals around the world for the queer community, few focus on the transgender community like Translations Transgender Film Festival,” explains Elayne Wylie one of the festival programmers. “Translations celebrates films about transgender people, their stories and their lives, and also films by transgender filmmakers. Films that play at Translations come from all parts of the world, including our own back yard.”

Cresdan Maite the Festival’s programmer had this to say about the program: “Transgender film has changed and grown over the last five years. Filmmakers are developing their stories more. Documentaries are shifting from simple transition stories into larger explorations of our lives as people. This is exciting progress.”
