Festival Dates:

Oct. 28—31, 2021 [In-Person]
Oct. 28 — Nov. 8, 2021 [Online]

Each Fall, Engauge Experimental Film Festival hosts screenings sponsored by the Interbay Cinema Society in partnership with Northwest Film Forum. The festival screens only work that originates on film, by filmmakers both local and international.

*** To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for 2021. There are three categories of festival pass: VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person). ***

• Please allow a one-day turnaround for online access to be issued for Hybrid Passes purchased via Brown Paper Tickets. We will be sending access to new pass-purchasers manually through Eventive on a daily basis. (Virtual-Only passes can be purchased directly through Eventive, with no turnaround time.)
• If you’ve purchased an In-Person or Hybrid festival pass and are visiting the Forum in person, we’ll be able to look you up by the name you purchased under at will call. Our cinema is located at 1515 12th Avenue, in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
• Please arrive early! Your pass does not guarantee seating availability. At each show, we hold a percentage of seats in the cinema for passholders, but they are first-come, first-served, and have to be released to general audiences if a busy show is about to begin.
• REFUNDS: While we are limiting occupancy and adapting to health advisories as they arise, COVID-19 may yet impact our ability to host this festival in person. In-Person-Only Passes, therefore, will be refundable in the event of the festival’s reversion to fully virtual. Virtual-Only Passes are non-refundable. Before Oct. 28, refunds will be processed through Brown Paper Tickets. Contact Managing Director Chris Day (chris@nwfilmforum.org) regarding refunds only if they are during the festival.
• Virtual-only passholders are not entitled to any discount on admission to in-person festival events.
