Northwest Film Center

The Northwest Film Center is a regional media arts organization founded to encourage the study, appreciation, and utilization of the moving image arts, to foster their artistic and professional excellence, and to help create a climate in which they may flourish. Founded in 1971, the Film Center provides a variety of activities and services primarily directed to the residents of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. The Film Center presents a wide-ranging, year-round film exhibition program and offers a number of outreach programs and activities serving the region. These include circulation of outstanding work by regional artists; sponsorship of special festivals, including the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival (November), Reel Music Festival (October), Portland Jewish Film Festival (June), Fresh Film Northwest (November), and Portland International Film Festival (February); a School of Film offering diverse education classes and workshops for children and adults, including a Certificate Program in film production; the statewide Young Filmmakers outreach residency program; public access to film and video production facilities; and a variety of information and publication programs. The Film Center is funded in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Oregon Arts Commission, Regional Arts and Culture Council, The Ted R. Gamble Film Endowment, The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, The Rose E. Tucker Charitable Trust, Henry Lea Hillman Jr. Foundation, and the support of numerous corporate program sponsors, Silver Screen Club members, and friends.
