Northwest filmmakers put their hearts on stage this November 9-18 during the Northwest Film Center’s 39th Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival.
Feature film highlights include Lynn Shelton’s YOUR SISTER’S SISTER, starring Rosemarie DeWitt, Emily Blunt, and Mark Duplass; James Westby’s RID OF ME starring Katie O’Grady; a special FREE 50th Anniversary screening of POLLUTION IN PARADISE, the 1962 KGW-8 produced film that documents the beginning of the environmental movement in Oregon that became the hallmark of former Governor Tom McCall’s tenure; and closing the Festival is Matt McCormick’s THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
In addition to features, the Festival offers three programs of short films— Shorts I, II, and III. Highlights include DEAR PLUTO directed by renowned Portland animator Joanna Priestley; DEAR PETER, WOODCHIPS I and II from experimental director Orland Nutt; THE WAY WE MELT from Rob Tyler; and BIRD OF FLAMES, a music video made for David Lynch created by filmmaker Chel White.
