Support NWFF Today!


Your investment in the power of film and visual media helps Northwest Film Forum evolve a forward-thinking vision that supports Seattle's arts community in all of its beautiful diversity.

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD

Our production company, RG Pro (formerly Reel Grrls Pro), has moved to officially become Remove the Gap Productions, so that our organization can better address the industry’s changing concerns around equal representation and empowerment on all levels. In addition to #ClosingTheGap regarding gender within the film industry, we are widening our intersectional scope to incorporate race, sexual orientation, and disability, because we know that the work doesn’t just stop at gender.

ACCESSIBLE & AFFORDABLE EDUCATION

Our Production Intensives series teach young and emerging filmmakers the fundamentals of film! To better serve our community in these economically-strained times, we have moved to a 100% sliding-scale, pay-what-you-can model, with all workshops subtitled and open to anyone.

APPRENTICESHIPS & JOB TRAINING

Throughout the pandemic, RG Pro has continued to provide jobs for working professionals and mentors, paid opportunities for apprentices, and production services for the community. By engaging a diversity of roles, we build resilient networks and pass down knowledge through generations. View our portfolio!
