Arboring Film Series Pass

September 25-30, 2010

Fifteen years ago Northwest Film Forum opened its doors with the hope of establishing a local cinema, and the promise of cultivating a distinctly Northwest voice that would forever change the nature of filmmaking. It was a bold mission, inspired by the double notion that the region held in its light, soil and climate all the nutrients that a filmmaker's seeded idea needed to thrive, and that an ideal environment could be found in a habitat other than New York or Los Angeles. And so we began our quest to sow a new cinematic timberland.

Some fifteen years later, a forest of old growth trees now stands tall and is aiding the second growth beneath. Our cinematic promise of a dense Northwest film forest nurtured by a Forum of filmmakers has become reality, all birthed from the seedlings planted by Northwest Film Forum some fifteen years ago.

Join us as we admire the growth of our local filmmaking harvest! This week we present fifteen shorts and fifteen features whose roots are tethered tightly to our filmmaking programs and artist support.
