Next weekend is the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, and the Northwest Film Center has a whole weekend of screenings, discussions, parties, and more!

On Saturday, they’ll be hosting a filmmaking barcamp. For those of you that have attended BeTween PDX, the format will be familiar, and it’s a great way to connect with local filmmakers.

And on Sunday, ASIFA Portland President Rebekah Villon will be hosting a panel on Portland animation as part of the festival. It’s a free event, so please come by and participate in the conversation.
