October 1 – October 3, 2020
The Northwest Film Center presents PIFF 2.0
The reimagining the final days of the 43rd Portland International Film Festival. October 1-3, 2020.
This year’s Portland International Film Festival (PIFF) was sadly cut short due to the pandemic in early March. PIFF 43 was a creative, multi-media feast that spotlighted artists both around the corner and across the globe—embracing the future of storytelling in all its forms. With PIFF 43, the Northwest Film Center created a bold, new artistic vision–Cinema Unbound–to reimagine what the Northwest Film Center can be.
In the spirit of continuing to redefine the notion of cinema and visual storytelling for our community, we present PIFF 43 – 2.0 October 1-3.
All PIFF 2.0 film screenings, both at the Cinema Unbound Drive-In and Virtual Screenings, are listed below.
