UPCOMING EVENTS
THE FIRST LADY
We’re excited to partner with the Seattle Jewish Film Festival for this screening of The First Lady.
The film tells the story of Efrat Tilma, one of the first trans people in Israel. Growing up in the 1960s, Tilma endured violence, police persecution, and exile. Her journey took her from Paris to Morocco to Berlin before she ultimately returned home to a changed Israel and became the first transgender volunteer on the Israeli police force. Despite Netanyahu’s rise, Tilma will no longer run away and chooses to fight for necessary social change head-on.
Rather than make a historical documentary, directors Udi Nir and Sagi Bornstein breathe life into Tilma’s emotionally layered story, where the hero’s odyssey surges her forward into visibility and urgent activism in Israel and across the globe.

THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING
Tasveer Film Center presents a new restoration of the Spokane-shot classic The Business of FANCYDANCING, followed by a Q&A with director Sherman Alexie.
Seymour Polatkin is a successful, gay Native American poet from Spokane whose carefully constructed life is disrupted when he returns to his childhood reservation for the funeral of a dear friend. As he reconnects with his past, he must confront unresolved relationships, identity, and the distance between where he came from and who he has become.
