A New Chapter: Scope Screenings to Debut at Langston
Seattle's vibrant underground film scene is taking a significant step forward as Scope Screenings makes its highly anticipated debut at Langston in the Central District tomorrow, August 26. This partnership is more than just a new venue; it's a powerful fusion of community-driven storytelling with a historic hub for Black arts and culture.
For four seasons, Scope Screenings has been the heartbeat of Seattle's independent film scene. Founded in June 2022 by creative force Lex Scope, the live underground film festival has grown from a personal experiment into a vital platform for uplifting underrepresented creators. Unlike traditional festivals, Scope Screenings focuses on a fast-paced, social "movie party" atmosphere, featuring a curated selection of short films, music videos, and experimental work. Filmmakers take the stage after their screenings for a quick Q&A, fostering a unique connection with the audience.
This move to Langston marks a new phase of growth, cementing Scope Screenings as a key part of the city's creative calendar. The event promises to bring together filmmakers, film lovers, and community supporters for a night of bold stories, fresh perspectives, and one-of-a-kind vibes.
