THE NORTHWEST FLYING SAUCER FILM FEST IS BACK after an incredible inaugural year and we are looking for Northwest filmmakers (WA, OR, ID, B.C. residents) to submit their UFO themed short films, documentaries, animations, or music videos to be shown on September 13th, 2024 at the beautiful McFiler’s Chehalis Theater in Chehalis, WA.
This is your chance to get your UFO themed film shown to a live audience of filmgoers, filmmakers, and UFO enthusiasts and to be part of this up-and-coming film festival!
The NWFSFF is a part of The Chehalis Flying Saucer Party. This two-day celebration remembers pilot Kenneth Arnold’s historic flight from the Chehalis Airport on June 24th, 1947, when he encountered a formation of UFOs in a cultural touchstone that gave birth to the term “flying saucer” - and kickstarted modern UFOlogy as we know it!
This festival benefits the Lewis County Historical Museum.
The Northwest Flying Saucer Film Fest jury is composed of film producers, local personalities, UFO nerds, and audience community members. Their decisions on official selections, award nominees and award winners are final.
Category awards will include: Best Film, Best Documentary, Best Animation, Best Music Video, Best Alien, Best First-Time Filmmaker, and Audience Choice.
$300 Cash Prize for Audience Choice (all submissions eligible)
Audience Choice winner will also be screened the following day right before the classic flying saucer feature film (TBA) during Day 2 of the Chehalis Flying Saucer Party.
All winners will receive a custom trophy and bragging rights.
If your submission is selected, you will receive a free admission to the film festival including a +1 and an All Access Pass to the 2024 Chehalis Flying Saucer Party.
