About
The 2019 edition of Northwest Film Forum's annual ByDesign Festival, held March 15–17, will be curated and promoted in close partnership with Design in Public, a strategic initiative of AIA Seattle dedicated to unleashing the design thinker in everyone.
Over the course of a weekend, every space within NWFF will be activated by programs centered on design and architecture, including short and feature films, performances, hands-on generative workshops, and a pop-up market featuring local makers. This year’s festival will also integrate with NWFF and DiP’s core missions and visions, by focusing on societal growth and community-building — as viewed through the lens of design-centered thinking.
Opening Night features a screening of Endless Letterpress, complete with Argentinian filmmakers Pablo Pivetta and Nicolás Rodríguez Fuchs in attendance, and live printing with Expedition Press and related workshops in typography and moving image. A pop-up market and short film program, open to the public during Saturday and Sunday afternoon, will lead into evening film programs, as well as a lecture on sculptural design objects and 100 Year Plan — a hypercolored multidisciplinary performance, both presented by LA artists Bailey Hikawa and Scotty Wagner.
