The inaugural Seattle Trans Underground Film Festival (STUFF), by and for Trans people, is planned for October 17–19 at the Northwest Film Forum. Its purpose is to support Trans film and its production by connecting Trans filmmakers to their audiences and to celebrate Trans lives by showing their stories through film.

We’re excited to program films by and/or about Trans people across all genres, continuing a 20-year history of annual Transgender film festivals in Seattle. We’re super excited to be a platform for local Queer films!

We’re still in the selection process, and film submissions are still open on our website (www.seattletransfilmfest.org). We’ll have sneak peeks ready in September, but attendees can expect three days of Trans joy, suspense, drama, and comedy on Capitol Hill, celebrating that we are still here and will not be silenced, even during the ongoing attempts to remove our self-expression from public discourse.

We’ll also be having an accompanying social event or two over that weekend nearby, for attendees to revel together and enjoy each other’s company.
