To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for 2021. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available here.
⚠️ Please note: For the sake of public safety, NWFF will require both face-coverings and proof of vaccination from in-person audiences. We reserve the option to shift the festival to virtual-only on short notice.
With a title inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's 1936 novella, The Shadow Out of Time, A Black Rift Begins to Yawn is a highly-stylized sci-fi horror film that dements time, place, and identity through a discovery made by two former classmates. As the two slowly unravel the cosmic mystery behind a set of cassette tapes, A Black Rift Begins to Yawn becomes a slow-burning sensory experience that draws viewers into a disorienting world of enticing abstraction.
