The Northwest Film Center is honored to present the Best of the 45th Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, a carefully selected cross-section of filmmaking from the Northwest region. The works included on this program were chosen to represent the quality, range, voice, and vitality of filmmaking in the region. The mission of the tour is to get unique and independent films made by regional filmmakers to audiences who might not otherwise have a chance to see the fantastic work being made by their NW peers.
