We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. The holiday season is in full swing, as is our year-end fundraising campaign. Today is Giving Tuesday, the time of the year when many people give to organizations they care about across Washington State. As PTFF prepares for 2025, we count on financial gifts like yours. If you haven’t yet contributed, please do so now. Help us bring films, filmmakers, and fun to our community next year!

Don’t miss tonight’s (Wednesday) PTFF’s Focus film: The Peanut Butter Falcon. This movie is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes at 95% – such a good score! We have partnered with Olympic Neighbors, who will present a post-film discussion.

Happy Halloween! Our post-Festival season is getting busy. PTFF’s Focus film series ramps back up. We partner with Olympic Neighbors to bring you The Peanut Butter Falcon. Be sure to get your tickets soon, as seating is limited.

Thank you to those who have participated in our post-festival survey. If you haven’t yet taken a moment, here’s your last chance to win a free 2025 Festival Pass.

At PTFF headquarters, we’re still basking in the afterglow of our 25th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival. For the past several years, our last pre-pandemic festival has been our benchmark in terms of success. With your help, this year we surpassed the festival pass sales of 2019 – this is a major achievement for our community!

PTFF’s Virtual Festival begins today! Many of us are still basking in the afterglow of the weekend. We’ve shared many meaningful moments together – inside venues, in the streets, at parties, and over meals. Now we go from downtown Port Townsend… to our personal screens. The virtual schedule is available from Sept. 23=29th.

We had a wonderful time celebrating this year’s award-winning films at the Awards Party this past Saturday night at Vintage. We are pleased to share the winners in each category. In addition to our primary awards, our Jury gave several commendations!

Welcome to Day 4 of PTFF 2024! This is the last day of the downtown portion of the Festival. But no tears yet – there’s a whole week of Virtual Festival to look forward to! (more info below). We’re pleased to announce our Jury Awards! Enjoy the final downtown Festival day!

Welcome to Day 3 of PTFF 2024! Are we having fun yet? Can you recommend a good film or two? Lots more fun to come today, including a live podcast recording (with Catherine Hardwicke), the musician AVE for our Dinner Break, and... drumroll... the Jury Award winning films will be announced tonight. Enjoy your Saturday!

Welcome to Day 2 of PTFF 2024! Thanks to everyone who helped kick things off yesterday. We had a fabulous and heartfelt time with you at the Gala, and Fish War was a wonderful inaugural screening. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Friday is a big day!

Our 25th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival begins today! This is the day to ease into the Fest. If you can, grab your pass from the Box Office & Hospitality today, in order to avoid waiting in longer lines on Friday or Saturday.

It’s just TWO DAYS until the 25th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival arrives! Yesterday, we talked about the Festival Forum. Today, let’s talk more about films. We have over 60 films in our line-up this year, but let’s take a look at six of them.

Our 25th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival begins in THREE DAYS! Be sure to make one or more Forum events part of your 2024 Festival experience. Today, we’ll shine a light one of the parts that makes PTFF special: the Festival Forum.

The 25th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival begins next Thursday, Sept 19th! We have several new announcements and bits of info for you to know, as you prepare for the big event next week. And heads up — some events are starting to get sold out!

September is here! Now, we encourage you to check out the Wooden Boat Festival (this weekend in PT), but save some energy for the Film Festival – happening in just 2 weeks! Films, workshops, panel discussions, the Gala, the parade, live music, picnics… so much fun coming soon.

Happy Labor Day weekend! At last – now you have time to buy your Film Festival pass and start making Film and Forum reservations. 😀  It’s not a moment too soon with less than 3 weeks to go time!

Can you believe it? We’re only four weeks away from the 2024 Film Festival kick off (Sept 19th). Woohoo! This is getting real.

With just six weeks before PTFF 2024 kicks off, we are thrilled to announce this year’s special guests. Drum roll please… Let’s also start the conversation about what films are in the 2024 line-up.
