Seattle Queer Film Festival will open on Thursday, October 13, at Capitol Hill’s Egyptian Theater with the world premiere of the new locally produced and directed documentary, WHAT THE FUNK?! The festival will close on Saturday, October 22, at The Egyptian, with the US premiere of GOLDEN DELICIOUS, the first feature from award-winning Canadian filmmaker Jason Karman (alumni of SQFF!)

The festival's centerpiece is a double feature of two very diverse yet equally captivating comedies. Winner of honorable mention for North American narrative feature at LA’s Outfest, YOUTOPIA is a comedic and music-filled social commentary about Scout, who, after a devastating breakup, inadvertently becomes the leader of a hipster millennial cult. Feature film debut from writer/director Daniel Montgomery, THE JESSICA CABIN is a queer ghost story about love, loss, and connection, told through a darkly comedic lens.
