To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for 2021. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available here.

In addition to having at least one in-person screening at our cinema, all film programs (except opening and closing night films) will be presented on our Eventive virtual cinema platform and viewable on demand throughout the festival, Sep. 16–26, 2021.

Individual virtual tickets to the fest are sold only through Eventive; in-person tickets are sold on nwfilmforum.org and at the Northwest Film Forum box office (1515 12th Ave, Seattle) on the day of the screening. All passes are sold through nwfilmforum.org; passes granting virtual access will be processed within 18 hours of purchase.
