Northwest Film Forum invites you to join choreographer-dancer-videographer-acupuncturist Paige Barnes on November 11 at 7pm for an evening of dance videos, live pulse reading, and a discussion of empathy. Barnes has spent the last five years completing a study of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture. The combination of embodied research and Chinese Medicine in her studies has informed her choreographic practice, resulting in two collections of one-minute dance videos: #danceadayinshanghai and #pulsereadingproject.

From among innumerable wonderful films, after a week and a half of spellbinding screenings and absorbing talks with filmmakers from all over the northwest, we are very happy to announce the honorees of the festival!

• Today we launched a beautiful, user-friendly new website featuring a filterable events calendar. Even the font is cinematic – GT Cinetype is a design engineered for a cinema subtitling machine that uses a laser to selectively erase the color layer of the film to make brilliantly white letters.

With an aging non-mobile-friendly site, Northwest Film Forum needed to redesign mobile usability and functionality, update our look and feel, and take a holistic approach to better express where we are today. Partnering with Shore, a local branding and digital agency, we tasked ourselves with redefining our online presence to help users engage with our films and to equip our filmmaking community with helpful resources.…
