NW Projections Film Festival
April 16-18, 2010
Festival Director: Wilson Large
NW Projections Film Festival (NWPFF) began in 2000 to support and encourage the work of local filmmakers from Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan Counties. Since then the event has evolved into a regional festival with submissions coming from around the entire state. The weekend-long festival, which takes place in April, is an opportunity for community members and visitors from outside Whatcom County to see high-caliber, locally produced films. NWPFF also raises awareness of the area’s growing film industry.
The festival features screenings at a variety of local venues and also includes an Opening Night Party, workshops and presentations by local and regional professionals, and opportunities for networking.
