We just bought our longtime building! Purchasing our forever home marks an exciting and transformative turning point for our physical media library and Seattle’s creative ecosystem.
We cannot wait to share more exciting updates with you in the months ahead! scarecrowvideo.org/posts/scarec...

You can weigh in on it, without testifying, here:

It’s still #GivingTuesday! Please consider supporting the Grand Illusion with a membership or donation.

A membership gets you a discount at almost all of our screenings. A donation will help us build an even grander Grand Illusion. We’re still looking!

We have t-shirts for sale! @sethbeastmeat.bsky.social (w/ assist from Phill Tuma) created this unholy union of projector & projectionist for us & we couldn’t be happier. $25

We'll definitely have them at NWFF. SIFF & Here-After just depends on logistics (we’re all volunteers after all).

Good job, Lara! I just read about Braxton's discussion of the "suppression of the feminine vibration" in music in "Forces in Motion". Sexism leaves the world operating at half its potential.

Last year, you all heeded the SOS call and supported us in historic numbers, with 7k+ contributions and $1M raised. We're getting SO close to our SOS goal, but we need you to help push us over the edge so we can make the vital changes to make us sustainable!

Tonight's Best Film winner, Anora, was given an incredible spotlight by Seattle's @grandillusioncinema.org, who needs donations and support while looking for a new physical home. A quiet room for a community of art lovers to take in a quality 35mm print: We need spaces like that more than ever.

We're truly honored by the outpouring of support since we announced our plans to relocate the cinema. For 20 years we've operated as the only volunteer-run nonprofit cinema in the United States and we intend to do it for 20 more! Donate to our relocation fund: grandillusioncinema.org/support/#don...
