Join us this Saturday at @nwfilmforum for our first screening of 2025! We will have a casual discussion post-screening at Stoup Brewing to share a beer and our thoughts.

Our friends at NWFF generously provided a promo code. Please use STFU at checkout for a discount!
A promotional graphic for the Seattle Trans Film Union’s screening of Playland at Northwest Film Forum on Saturday, February 8, at 7:30 PM. The graphic features a still from the film, depicting two characters in vintage diner uniforms with pointed paper hats, standing in a dimly lit kitchen. The event details are displayed in bold blue and pink text, with a promo code “STFU” for checkout. Decorative cinema ticket graphics frame the top of the design. A note at the bottom informs attendees that while masks are not required by NWFF, those choosing to sit with STFU for the post-screening discussion must wear masks. The background includes subtle film reel illustrations, enhancing the cinematic theme. PLAYLAND (2023) directed by Georden West, conjures a time-bending night in Boston’s oldest and most notorious gay bar. Featuring an eclectic ensemble of queer performers, including drag icon Lady Bunny and POSE’s Danielle Cooper, the transdisciplinary film sees music, dance, archival footage, tableaux, opera, and performance art layered into an ethereal piece subverting all boundaries. The work of queer fantasy and history takes place inside the empty husk of the Playland Café. Although the cafe shut down in the late ’90s, PLAYLAND stages one last bawdy night on the town for the ghosts of their LGBTQ+ ancestors. Our friends at NWFF generously provided a promo code. Please use STFU at checkout for a discount! While this screening does not require masks, we are asking for STFU folks who would like to attend with us to wear a mask. We keep us safe!
