Port Townsend Film Festival offers year-round film programming that explores important topics through film.
In a variety of venues throughout the year, PTFF partners with other local and regional nonprofits to explore the challenges and opportunities in our community. From screening a single film with guided discussion in our intimate 40-seat Balcony Theatre for a PTFF Focus event to collaborating with the historic Rose Theatre for a weekend of films and Q&As with directors as a “spring mini fest” like Black Film in the Pacific Northwest, PTFF is constantly innovating to find new ways to bring people together and into discussion throughout the year. We believe film is a community resource like no other. We can all utilize this tool to amplify the expertise and experience of our local organizations to help make a better place for everyone.
