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. If you’re working in film and other creative industries, we encourage you to check out our expanded Seattle Film Summit throughout the festival week. Local Sightings on-screen delights run the gamut from our opening film, Bella Vista, making its first U.S. appearance after a world premiere at the prestigious Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands, to Bubble Bubble Meows and the Meteor Stomachache, making its first festival appearance after being stitched together in Photoshop, in the director’s home. New filmmakers from your own backyard. Discovery awaits! See you at the cinema. Courtney Sheehan Festival Director This year the opening night of Local Sightings features a OPENING NIGHT jam-packed preview of what’s to come in the ten day festival, presented by the filmmakers, Low Down, Get Down speakers, and teachers who make the movie magic happen! THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 AT 7PM Expect a few surprises and a lot of dancing. Opening Night Party at 9PM Sponsored by Opening in Fall 2014! OPENING FILM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 AT 8PM Pre-screening Bella Vista reception at 7pm Vera Brunner-Sung Sponsored by Missoula, MT 83 min U.S. premiere! A meditation on displacement and adaptation in the contemporary American West, Bella Vista follows the lives of outsiders in Missoula, Montana. Teaching English to a group of international students, thirty-something Doris finds herself increasingly alone. While she grasps for the connection that might save her, it’s her students who understand what it takes to belong. Brunner-Sung’s unobtrusive camera captures objects, people and landscapes in ways that reveal understanding of her characters without the crutch of exposition. It is this formal mastery and human insight that signals the arrival of a major directorial talent. Shot in only 12 days and directed, written, edited, produced and DP’d by women, Bella Vista had its world premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. VIP Passholders: Don’t miss an exclusive opening night reception at 6pm. Email [email protected] for invitation details. FREE INSTALLATION PROGRAM: Join us before the screening at 6:30pm for Feeling Time, an installation-style screening of new experimental work. The looped program includes: Express/Local Adam Sekuler | Seattle, WA | 25 min An ordinary subway ride turns into a rhythmic exploration of passing moments. Progression #1 Milla Krivdina | Seattle, WA | 5 min Ocean waves and lights create layers of experience. A Thauma-Tale Ben Popp - Portland, OR | 3 min Storytelling inspired by a thaumatrope optical toy. Organic Video Study Brandon Aleson | Seattle, WA | 4 min A time-lapse video of molding organic berries transforms this object into a living, breathing organism. CLOSING NIGHT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2ND SEATTLE FILM SUMMIT: TOWN HALL CAUCUS 6PM After a dozen discussions, convene one final time during Local Sightings with fellow filmmakers and industry leaders for a culminating talk and chance to weigh in on important next steps for the local film community. LOCAL SIGHTINGS FILM AWARD CEREMONY 7:30PM Join us as we celebrate the juried winners of Local Sightings 2014, present the Seattle Composers Alliance award for film music scoring and hear the people’s vote in the Naked City Audience Awards. IN COUNTRY Mike Attie & Meghan O’Hara | Seattle, WA | 80 min 8PM Deep in the Oregon woods, the heat of a reenacted Vietnam battle sheds light on America’s complicated relationship with war and its veterans. In Country is a feature documentary that follows the 2/5 1st Cav (Reenacted), a “platoon” of hardcore Vietnam War reenactors. Weaving together verité footage of the reenactments with flashbacks to the characters’ real lives, and archival footage from the Vietnam War, In Country blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, past and present to tell a story about men trying to access the past. The question at the center of In Country is “why?” Why would these men—many of them combat veterans of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan haunted by their own experiences on the frontline—try to recreate a war that so many have tried to forget? CLOSING NIGHT PARTY AT VERMILLION ART GALLERY & BAR 1508 11th Avenue between Pike and Pine 9:30PM Open to passholders and Closing Night ticketholders only! SPECIAL EVENTS NIGHT OF THE NORTHWEST ROAD-RASH: ARCHIVAL SEATTLE SKATE VIDEOS OCTOBER 1 | 6:30PM Seattle skater establishment Marshall Reid dove deep into ancient annals of Seattle skateboard lore and dug up some true buried treasures. We’ve dusted off the VCR to behold the yesteryear glory of Seattle’s finest skate punks and “Ave” rats! Watch rippin’ skating, lip tricks and gnarly maneuvers of the hairiest kind! If you’re into music from greats like Mudhoney, Nirvana and Coffin Break, thrashin’ speed and the best of boardin’, this program is for you. Includes The Mission and Board Crazy. PULLING FOCUS OCTOBER 1 | 7PM Washington Filmworks and Northwest Film Forum are pleased to announce the return of Pulling Focus, a panel series that focuses on the business of film. Panel discussions, moderated by Warren Etheredge (Host of Reel NW and Editor-At-Large of Media Inc.), are designed to speak to a diverse audience, from screenwriters to actors, from directors to producers and on to musicians. The goal is to elevate the conversation and give the Washington film community a rock-solid education about how to make passion for film into a career. Join us post event for a reception at 8pm. SEATTLE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT: 10TH ANNIVERSARY OCTOBER 3 | 7PM Watch a “best of” screening program from a decade of Seattle’s 48 Hour Film Project, a yearly competition that asks local filmmakers to conceptualize, create and finish a short film in just two days. LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS Maximón Monihan | 2013 | 80 min OCTOBER 3 | 8PM Described as “Chaplin meets Eraserhead,” La Voz de los Silenciados is truly modern silent film. Olga, a deaf teenager, is coaxed from her home in Guatemala to travel to New York City, ostensibly to attend a Christian school for the deaf. Rather than being greeted by a charitable school, however, she’s enslaved in an international criminal scheme and forced to beg on the subway. Olga uses courage, cunning, and even humor to face an unimaginable nightmare-on-loop that ravages the audience. Based on the true story of modern day slavery in the heart of the American metropolis, LVDLS deftly weaves together social critique, silent film aesthetics, magical realist humor and surreality, coupled with a low frequency soundscape so grippingly immersive that it merits its own place in the history of sound cinema. CLASSES STUDENT SHOWCASE AND EDUCATION OPEN HOUSE Free event! SEPTEMBER 28 | 3PM Join us to view some recent film work and final projects made by Northwest Film Forum students. We’ll also have an opportunity for you to meet with esteemed instructors and network with returning students—and learn more about new and upcoming classes happening at the Film Forum this fall. BOTANICOLLAGE WORKSHOP Instructor: Caryn Cline OCTOBER 4 Filmmaker Caryn Cline will teach a workshop on the “botanicollage” technique, made famous by Stan Brakhage and his film Mothlight. Participants will create handmade film frames using local botanicals, art materials and film supplies to produce a short, collaborative film that will screen at the conclusion of the workshop. SEATTLE FILM SUMMIT The Seattle Film Summit is a professional development event for anyone in Washington who has a stake in the production or distribution of media content, including filmmakers, actors, video game creators, transmedia geeks, editors, media lawyers, film community leaders, legislators, gaffers and writers. In 2014, the Seattle Film Summit is expanding beyond a single-day conference, with panels and events throughout Local Sightings, including the opening and closing nights of the festival. The mission of the Seattle Film Summit is to empower and inspire Washington state media producers, especially filmmakers, to discover and develop innovative methods of storytelling, funding and distribution.

  • 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.
