The 29th Seattle Queer Film Festival

The 29th Seattle Queer Film Festival (SQFF) takes place October 10-20, 2024. The diverse slate of queer cinema hails from 26 countries across the globe and includes narrative features, documentaries, and short films totaling 46 programs comprised of 101 films. SQFF uplifts and amplifies queer voices through the transformative power of film. “Q-thartic,” the 2024 festival theme, focuses on the emotional release that cinema provides, a much-needed space for healing, validation, and connection. Through stories that celebrate intersectionality, spark empathy, and foster inclusivity, SQFF embraces the joys and complexities of queer life in all its forms. In-person screenings occur at SIFF Cinema Egyptian and in three theaters concurrently at AMC Pacific Place, and most virtual screenings are available in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska.
