The South Sound Experimental Film Fest is a curation of experimental short films from local artists in the Pacific Northwest. We began in the South Sound region of Washington state. Our aim is to provide a community for the consistent exploration and development of the creative potentialities of the growing medium. Our attempt is to platform film-makers who may otherwise get pushed to the fringe due to identity, insufficient resources, or “quality” of technique.
Our first film festival launched on November 12th, 2021 in collaboration with the Northwest Film Forum. As a partner, SSEFF was able to contribute to a vast international network of ambiguity, experimentation, new filmic vocabulary and contemporary hybridity within the usage, development, and screening of film.
It is our intention to present northwest cinephiles with a wider lens to look through in hopes of finding a multiplicity of voices from our region.
