NFFTY is back with a full weekend of in-person events 🎉

Seattle-based NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth) is excited for their 16th edition, with 25 screenings showcasing over 200 short films from the next generation of NFFTY filmmakers. The 2023 hybrid festival kicks off with a weekend of in-person events at SIFF Cinema Uptown in Seattle April 27 through April 30, and continues online through May 7 with a combination of recordings from live events and on-demand shorts packages.

This year's diverse lineup features filmmakers from 32 states and 28 countries, with over 54% of films directed by women and non-binary identifying filmmakers, and over 50% of films helmed by people of color. Film screenings and events will be accessible with the purchase of a festival pass.

Opening Night will be on Thursday, April 27 at SIFF Cinema Uptown featuring compelling stories from talented youth around the world, and continue through the weekend at the Uptown with back-to-back screenings of shorts packages all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Closing Night Celebration will also be held at SIFF Cinema Uptown, pulling together a collection of films that will stick with you long after you leave the theater. An Awards Ceremony will immediately follow the screening.
