About
“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.” – Carl Sagan
Picture, if you will, the magnificent celestial canopy of the Northwest’s media arts. We gauge our position in the creative cosmos in relation to one another, finding inspiration and direction in each other’s work. Each of you is a brilliant star, sparkling alongside fellow fabulous orbs in a great network of constellations.
At this year’s Celestial Gala, Northwest Film Forum invites you to light the way for artists in search of resources, support, and each other. Join us for dinner and drinks at Metropolist, then get starry-eyed with us at the afterparty! We encourage anybody inclined to dress to the theme to do so, whether that means sashaying as your best Sagan or swaddling yourself in sequins and illumination.
