Step into the shoes of these different characters from around the globe! From a nomadic reindeer herder to an independent Sudanese teen, these kids' stories will give you a glimpse into new perspectives.
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.
Between the Lines is the tale of Bella, a little girl who lives in a folkloristic town approaching a presidential election in which a nationalist party seems to be the favorite.
Isolated and neglected in a context that is repetitive, uniform, emotionally disconnected, and narrow-minded, Bella uses her sixth sense and youthful imagination make magic happen. Interpreting a publicity poster she passes daily on a pharmacy door, she devises an original solution to the monotony of her life, and with a little unwitting help from "supernatural" characters, she performs a poetic act of self-empowerment. Bella discovers that her destiny is–quite literally–in her hands.
