Gay-La
Patrik 1.5
May 28
7:30pm
Egyptian Theatre
What a difference punctuation can make. Because of a stray decimal, the child that a gay couple thinks will be their newly adopted 18-month-old son is actually a troubled, homophobic 15-year-old. Director Ella Lemhagen treats the dramatic subjects of adoption and bigotry with humor, intelligence, and a dash of romance.
Swedish with English subtitles

Here is a list of all the LGBT films playing at SIFF. Note: this list also includes short films.

Our God Save the Queens Spring Film Series kicks off with a rare screening of THE LEATHER BOYS.
In this striking portrayal of 1960s working class British life, a young married couple find themselves drifting apart until another man steps in and revs things up. Racy and rough-edged, THE LEATHER BOYS shifts gears between fiery confrontations and quiet moments of contemplation, ultimately leading to a climactic crossroads for the two men and the woman between them.
“Combines the sexual frankness and harsh realism of the British New Wave and confronts themes of class and homoeroticism at a time when being openly gay was still illegal.” – Britmovie.com

STEAM, centerpiece film of the 2008 Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival returns to Seattle for 3 screenings at Central Cinema.
Three women from three generations let their woes melt away in the cleansing atmosphere of a steam room. Kate Siegel (as college student Elizabeth), HIGH ART’s Ally Sheedy (forty-something single mom Laurie), and Oscar nominee Ruby Dee (elderly Doris) create extraordinary women characters with realistic and relatable issues. Combining humor and heartbreak, STEAM is a powerful portrayal of women emerging from struggles to newfound strength and confidence.
STEAM screens:
Now-March 5
7:00pm & 9:30pm
Central Cinema
