You guys, this week is your week. Not only is the totally cool Local Sightings Film Festival starting on Friday, but we’re also giving away 2 pairs of tickets (4 total) to some lucky Yay-Today readers! More on that later…
First and foremost, let’s pimp out the Local Sightings Film Festival a little. They sure do deserve it. In it’s 13th year, this NW Film Forum sponsored festival showcases the best and brightest films from the North West. From October 1-6th, you can see 75 short films, six feature films and the world premier of the documentary Citizen Mayor:
“(Koi Walker, Seattle, 2010, 74 min) In 2009, then-Mayor Greg Nickels was a shoo-in for re-election. However 2009 was a surprising year for politics in Seattle. Can passion and determination be enough to overcome the raw power of money and establishment? It’s a story Seattle knows well, but with Citizen Mayor we get to know it better.”
From politics to wilderness to claymation to immigration, you’re bound to see a movie or two that you’ll just love. The Opening Night Local Sightings Party sounds like fun too – as you’re requested to dress like it’s 1995 (when the festival started). So break out those scrunchies and Dr. Martens and have yourself some fun.
Now for the giveaway!!! Comment on this post with your name to win a pair of tickets to see Citizen Mayor! We’ll randomly pick 2 commentors on October 1st. It’s that easy!! Thanks NW Film Forum and Local Sightings Film Festival for making this possible. We love you to bits.
