Port Townsend Film Festival

The Port Townsend Film Festival is A Film Lover's Block Party Celebrating Great Films & Filmmakers.

Washington State's Port Townsend Film Festival unites world-class cinema, including over 100 independent and foreign features, documentaries and short films, with a small Victorian seaport in the Pacific Northwest. PTFF has special programs and events like NPR's West Coast Live! broadcasts from The Upstage on Saturday. Formative Films features a special guest curator, like 2006 Turner Classic Movies' Robert Osborne, to discuss a personally influential film; Film2880 contestants countdown the top ten ingenious and outrageous shorts; Talk Movies venue has filmmakers' panel discussions; Drop-in Theatre is a free continuous-run screening room. No passes or ticket required; and, of course, the film camp for kids.

You can mingle with stars like previous guests Malcolm McDowell, Debra Winger, Eva Marie Saint, and Peter Fonda, converse with filmmakers during Q&A discussions, or just relax on straw bales for the free "family-friendly" Taylor Street outdoor movies under the stars.
