NORTHWEST FILM CENTER UPDATE 30th Anniversary Season

NEW FALL SCHEDULE

Our new fall schedule will be out this week. Look for it at any coffee shop, library, video store, movie theatre or get one from one of our orange boxes that are placed all over town. Programming begins September 12.

NORTHWEST FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL
November 7-15, 2003

A juried survey of new moving image arts by independent Northwest film and videomakers, the Festival draws over 300 entries in all genres each year and is judged by a prominent filmmaker, curator or critic. Now in it's 30th year, the Festival provides a forum where outstanding independent work receives public recognition, critical appraisal and an engaged and enthusiastic regional audience. This year's judge James Benning, director of “The California Trilogy” follows last year's Judge, Jill Sprecher, the acclaimed independent director of "Clockwatchers" and "13 Conversations About One Thing." Generally, 30-45 shorts, features and documentaries are screened during the Festival, then 10-15 shorts are selected for the Best of the Northwest Tour program which travels the following year throughout the Northwest to media arts centers, museums, arts councils and universities.
