About

Purchase a ByDesign full festival pass ($52 General, $34 NWFF Member), valid for Opening Night and all the films, or tickets for each film and workshop individually.


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.
