The NWFF is Seattle's safehaven, meeting place, and collective for independent film. At a basic level, about one film per week, usually either not found anywhere else or an old classic, runs on one of the two screens and can be seen for either 8 dollars or 5 dollars if you're a member. The 35 dollar supporting membership not only saves you money, but goes towards funding of numerous events and projects which make the NWFF what it is. There are numerous special events such as Secret Cinema night or celebratory/fundraising events, and the Forum works closely with local filmmakers to help their projects come to fruition. Mostly, it is a place to meet likeminded film people, to discuss everything film, and to find others who might be able to help you with what you're interested in. With Quentin Tarantino as a lifetime member, they got some street cred and it's defintely worth the time to checkout, visit, or to volunteer your time.
