Erotic Short Film Exhibition
For the second year, film will be a major attraction at the Festival, showcased in a modern, built-in movie theater on site at Fremont Studios.
The Festival is pleased to curate an Erotic Short Film Exhibition in collaboration with Three Dollar Bill Cinema (producer of The Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and The Seattle Transgender Film Festival). The jury will consist of a special Three Dollar Bill Cinema review panel and our Festival Director.
Selected films will be screened across the two-weekend Festival to up to ten thousand patrons.
All filmmakers age 18 and older are encouraged to submit up to three films for consideration. All styles of film will be considered (animation, black & white, etc.). All body types, genders, ages, races, and sexual proclivities are encouraged.
