Membership
A strong, diverse community makes vibrant programs possible. Since 1995, we have hosted thousands of film premieres, multidisciplinary performances, exhibits, festivals and parties, and conversations. Members form the core of this network of art, education, and civic engagement.
“For me, Northwest Film Forum is the perfect embodiment of what an independent film organization can do to empower a filmmaking community.” – Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight
Why become a member?
For starters, discounts on tickets, workshops and venue rentals at NWFF, deals at local businesses, and invitations to free, members-only events!
Membership connects you to a community, whether you’re a media-maker looking for collaborators, new ideas, and equipment, a cinephile seeking out mind-expanding movies, or just someone who loves to support the arts while getting free refills of Seattle’s best popcorn.
Use the button below to join or renew your membership. PLEASE NOTE: Mobile view is confusing! Just click “View Desktop Version” to see all levels of membership (the “director’s cut” of the membership payment page, as it were).
