My Mother Looks Like a Microwave Oven
Our apartment is filled with household items. Some, lonely and forgotten, gather dust in closets and on shelves. Others are ever-present. Some are noisy; some are quiet. Just like people. Do people behave like things, or do things behave like people?
Dreams Squared
After dreaming of blue sheep, our hero finds himself in a nightmare's nest. Will he be able to find the one way out?
Closed captions available

Korridor
During their first coronavirus lockdown, in March 2020, a mother and her seven-year-old son collaborated on this playful, fantastical short film. They used only a clothes horse, a shiny hula hoop, and a lamp.
Food Apnea
A personal thought process dealing with a complicated relationship to food.
Hello Frisco
Why was the baby abandoned in a Victorian drain? And how can the four maids on a mission save its life? This playful, surreal, road movie pits four teens against the elements in a race against time.
Lilly Goes Fishing
Lilly, a giant orange monster, embarks on an adventure at a lakeside fishing camp with her friend Fluffle.
Perfect.
A stick figure realizes that "perfection" is more than what it seems.

This eclectic collection of youth-made experimental films showcases the imagination and innovation of tomorrow's future filmmakers.



To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for CFFS 2022. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available here.


⚠️ For the sake of public safety, NWFF patrons ages 5+ will be required to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination and to double-mask while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. ⚠️


NWFF is adapting to evolving recommendations to protect the public from COVID-19. Read more about their policies regarding cleaning, masks, and capacity limitations here. We reserve the option to shift the festival to virtual-only on short notice.
