9th Annual Mammoth Lakes Film Festival
May 24th – 28th
THE 9TH ANNUAL MAMMOTH LAKES FILM FESTIVAL (MLFF) announces its feature line-up!
Early bird passes available until midnight on May 10th!
The festival will open on May 24 with “Queendom” directed by Agniia Galdanova, a spectacular yet intimate portrait of a brave Russian transgender performance artist and her dangerous journey of self-actualization. The closing night on May 28 will feature the West Coast Premiere of “Kokomo City” directed by D. Smith, a raw depiction of the lives of four black trans sex workers as they confront the dichotomy between the black community and themselves. In the wake of the tragic murder of Koko Da Doll, one of the subjects of the documentary, the film has sadly taken on an added poignancy.
