Oct. 27 — Nov. 1, 2020
Each Fall, Engauge Experimental Film Festival hosts screenings sponsored by the Interbay Cinema Society in partnership with Northwest Film Forum. The festival screens only work that originates on film, by filmmakers both local and international.
This year’s festival features 42 short films by filmmakers from 14 countries and 10 US states.
Five programs unfold over five days online. Each program runs for 24 hours, from noon on the day it is scheduled until 11am PT the following day. Live conversations with available filmmakers will take place each day at 11am PT.
Filmmakers use the short form to address their concerns, remember loved ones, or celebrate an environment.
Light is central to cinema. These filmmakers play with and interrogate light in a variety of forms.
You don’t necessarily need a camera to create short films, but these filmmakers wield the mechanical camera and lenses with aplomb, deftly using a variety of techniques to explore their relationships to others and their environments.
Filmmakers explore the possibilities and promises of experimental film, working with found footage, handmade sequences, double exposures, animation, and digital post-production techniques.
Filmmakers examine the cosmic, mythic, disturbing, edgier aspects of images and sounds.
