A celebration of creativity and community: The Whatcom Film Association presents the 8th annual Northwest Projections Film Festival

This year, Northwest Projections looks ahead to the filmmakers of tomorrow with the Pickford Slam "open mic" event and more showings for the Guerilla teen filmmaking contest. We're also looking back to some of the great local films of years past with the Best of Projections.

Our new dates, February 8-10, move the festival out of the holiday rush to a more leisurely time of year. What better cure for February's cabin fever than to experience the creativity of our filmmaking community while connecting with friends in downtown Bellingham?
