  • 48 Hours: 21St Century – Make Film, Watch Film, Get Award, Sleep
    48 Hours: 21st Century – Make Film, Watch Film, Get Award, Sleep Dallas Area Filmmakers Participate in The 48 Hour Film Project, an International Film Competition Dallas, Texas (July 22, 2013)… Teams of drowsy yet determined filmmakers produced, edited and delivered their best seven-minute film during the annual 48 Hour Film Project held in Dallas last month the weekend of June 22. In 2013, teams in more than 120 cities involving more than 60,000 people will spend 48 grueling hours attempting what seems impossible – create and deliver a short film in a short time. Each filmmaking team is told the same four elements that must be included – a prop, character name, line of dialogue and genre. How they do this is the creative challenge given the short production time. Once complete, the films are shown at a local theater. On July 3, the Dallas winners were announced: Best Directing - "Three Rounds" by Knockaround Guys Runner-Up for Best Film - "Three Rounds" by Knockaround Guys Best Film - "Velo" by Film Freaks Audience Award Winners - "Ahkbars" by Obsessive Comedy Disorder & "Three Rounds" by Knockaround Guys City producers for The 48 Hour Film Project are Danny Ohman and Gary Underwood, who are also partners in micro-budget production company Factory Entertainment with Shawn Parker. Factory has several projects in development including “Hindsight,” which will begin shooting in late 2013. About The 48 Hour Film Project The 48 Hour Film Project is the oldest and largest timed film competition in the world. It began with a few filmmaking teams in Washington, DC in May 2001.

Forty years later, we’re taking a moment here at DFS to observe the hard work, committed audiences, and generous contributions that have allowed us to continue to develop opportunities for diverse audiences to discover film through creative, thought-provoking experiences. Of course, no look back on our history would 2017-18 be complete without acknowledging the incredible efforts and accomplishments of DFS’s co-founder, the tireless Ron Henderson, who continues to serve the organization all these years later, and who we honored at our 40th anniversary gala last May.

  • Film Festival
    L O C A L FILM FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER25 - OCTOBER4 LOCALSIGHTINGS.ORG Local Sightings is the Northwest’s premiere showcase of new films, putting homegrown talent in front of Seattle audiences and connecting artists from Alaska to Oregon in a week-long celebration of cinema from the region. Produced by Northwest Film Forum, the festival features new films, juried prizes and killer parties. The 2014 festival includes new features, shorts and documentary programming, as well as conversations with filmmakers and film industry networking events. In 2012, Seattle Weekly called Local Sightings the “Best Film Festival” in Seattle. LETTER FROM THE FESTIVAL DIRECTOR An evil alien force invading peaceful Northwestern woods. A woman standing at a crossroads under Missoula’s cirrus cloud-scattered sky. A richly textured subculture of Vietnam War re-enactors. A man fending for himself on a post-apocalyptic planet. A hand-drawn string bean cursed with interstellar pica and a lisp. .and everything in between. For the past seventeen years, Local Sightings has proudly convened the finest new films produced in the Pacific Northwest. From the striking to the stunning, the weird to the wacky, and with generous doses of humor and social commentary thrown in, this year’s festival slate truly represents the many-splendored voices and styles of independent film from our fair region. This year at Local Sightings, expect to see an eclectic and vibrant group of films, and the talented filmmakers who made them—up close and personal. For the first time in the festival’s history, we’re expanding Local Sightings to ten packed days, filling the schedule with new events like our opening night PechaKucha-style bash, and spotlighting the people who make this region so fertile for filmmaking.
