Extraordinary women and youth – female mountain bikers, motorcyclists, quadriplegic athletes, and others – roll up their sleeves to recast the world around them in a stronger mold, in this affirming collection of narrative and documentary shorts.

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.

In the late 1980s, Lisa, a bi-racial highschooler who recently immigrated to Seattle from London, attempts to navigate a semi-segregated school system while trying to find belonging in white spaces. Written by a student in the Screenwriting Program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.
