| Celebrate local talent: NW Film & Video Festival | | | November 5-13
If you're looking for something fresh and homegrown this fall, the 37th Northwest Film & Video Festival delivers just that. This annual celebration of new work by the premier media artists working in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Montana, and Idaho will showcase 39 new films, 12 of which were singled out for special recognition by Gill Dennis, this year's festival judge and Master-Filmmaker-in-Residence at the American Film Institute. In addition to a full range of screenings, from narrative features to shorts and documentaries, the Festival also brings together filmmakers and audiences for panels and workshops, such as What's Wrong with This Picture, a screening and discussion of some short films that didn't make the cut.
The Festival kicks off November 5 with a collection of shorts and a chance to celebrate with the filmmakers at the Opening Night Party. For more information, including a complete schedule of screenings and ticket information, visit nwfilm.org.
