SIFF 2009 Centerpiece Gala
Humpday
Two college buddies test the limits of heterosexual male bonding by agreeing to take part in an amateur porn contest, based on the real-life competition held by “The Stranger.” This smart satire from Seattle’s Lynn Shelton about the contradictions of the male ego culminates in a hilariously uncomfortable finale.

Your ticket also includes the popular Centerpiece Gala party at the DAR Hall on Capitol Hill, with director Lynn Shelton scheduled to attend. Celebrate local filmmaking and northwest connections with live music and entertainment, catering by Boom Noodle, and two complimentary cocktails.

“Despite the sensationalistic premise, Lynn Shelton and her two leading men handled the story with an admirable sense of honesty and subtlety, allowing you to connect with the characters and ultimately feel for them.”
