Film festivals are special things. Transgender film fests? There aren't many places on the planet where you can be part of one. Three Dollar Bill Cinema presents Translations: The Seattle Transgender Film Festival 2010, returning for its fifth annual run over four days, May 13-16. This year's films are a mix of short films, documentaries, comedy, and compelling dramas that showcase the diversity of transgender filmmaking.
