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.

Mirrors cover every inch of Fiep's little house. As she stares at her own reflection, Fiep focuses on her flaws so intensely that they begin to grow gigantic, mutating her into a mish-mash of imperfections. Overwhelmed with the sight of herself, Fiep flees into the harsh winter landscape outside, trying to run as far away from herself as she can.
