CINEMA FOSTERS DEEPER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BY SHOWCASING QUEER FILM PROGRAMMING, EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES, AND SOCIAL DIALOGUE.

We provide access to films by, for, and about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people and their families, and a forum for LGBTQ+ filmmakers to share and discuss their work with audiences. We curate themed screenings throughout the year and produce programs in partnership with other arts, cultural, and service delivery organizations in the Greater Seattle area.

Monday grew up in a quiet, small town where she found motion pictures to be far more dazzling than grassy green pastures filled with cow friends and simple creeks. At a young age, she quickly realized she had a taste for the campy and the outrageous – soon finding herself represented on the silver screen after watching Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1996) at 6 years old. These young experiences with Lisa Kudrow were formative for Monday – and eventually she bore witness to Showgirls (1995), something she considers a divine religious experience. These cult classics guided her ambitions and became the driving forces behind her art, and the rest is sequined history. At 22, she chased her dreams of stardom all the way to Seattle and never looked back. Now that she’s arrived, she has one goal, and one goal only: No wire hangers EVER!
