ELEVATING THE SPECTRUM OF QUEER STORIES TO HELP CREATE A JUST AND EQUITABLE WORLD
🏳️‍🌈🎬🏳️‍⚧️

THREE DOLLAR BILL CINEMA fosters deeper community engagement by showcasing queer film programming, educational experiences, and social dialogue.

We provide access to films by, for, and about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people and their families, and a forum for LGBTQ+ 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 main annual programs are Seattle Queer Film Festival, TRANSlations: Seattle Trans Film Festival, OUTdoor Cinema, and Reel Queer Youth.

Support our year-round film programming, educational programs, and workshops!

Donate to help us to continue our work in the community and virtually!
