Vashon Film Society will present “Lane 1974,” a bittersweet coming-of-age drama, at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Vashon Theatre.

The award-winning independent film was written and directed by Seattle-based filmmaker SJ Chiro and features a musical score by island composer Jason Staczek.

Chiro, who was raised in the communes of California in the 1970s, based her screenplay on the memoir “The Hypocrisy of Disco,” by Clane Hayward, because the story parallels the director’s youth.

“Lane 1974” premiered at South by Southwest earlier this year and won the Grand Jury prize for Best New American Cinema at the Seattle International Film Festival in June. Chiro will attend the screening, and a Q & A will be moderated by Vashon director John Jeffcoat.

The film is unrated and runs 79 minutes. Tickets are $9 general admission, and $8 for seniors and juniors ages 12 and under.
