Local Sightings Opening Night: Sprawl to Action
Thursday, September 24th. 8:00pm.
Sprawl to Action
Citizens of Seattle: take a minute for your city! Tonight we marshall together short films that capture moments of change in Seattle from contemporary times and past eras. From today: the suddenly booming weed industry, rapidly transforming neighborhoods, and lyrical musings about technology in our lives. From yester-year: cultural memories long-forgotten, ideas for a future that's now past, and a grassroots movement that physically shaped the city. Sprawl to Action includes the launch of Citizen Minutes, a new community video project of Northwest Film Forum.
Followed by opening night party with DJ Erin Res
