We acknowledge that our festival takes place on the ancestral Coast Salish land, specifically the Duwamish, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot People and our organization pays our respects to their Elders, past and present.

A message to our community from Festival Director Anto(n) Astudillo (they/he)

“I am very excited to present to you our 2024 program. This has been such a beautiful journey! Our Screening Committee included Trans+ film professionals and film enthusiasts from all over the country, a total of 32+ members watching every submission. We met every week to discuss films, inspired each time by the tremendous collective imagination of our Trans+ community!

This program of over 70 films we are sharing with you, is a celebration of our existence! It is also a testament to our infinite creativity and how far we have come despite continuing to live in a world full of challenges. Our vast creativity makes us unstoppable!

Last but not least, I would like to thank the numerous volunteers, including TDBC board members, who have been helping over the past 5 months with our festival, making it such a meaningful event. Without you, this would have not been possible! In particular, I would like to thank Margo Iñiguez Dawes, board member of Three Dollar Bill Cinema, and Trans+ ally, for helping me lead the way with such generous energy and immense love for the Queer and Trans community in Seattle.

Welcome to TRANS|Lations 2024“
