NFFTY (pronounced “Nifty”), which stands for National Film Festival for Talented Youth, is the largest youth film festival in the world, and we get to host it here in Seattle, April 26 through 29 at Seattle Center. On showcase will be some of the best young directors ages 22 and younger from around the world, including a great deal of local talent.
The films of NFFTY represent the voice of this generation, covering topics and genres from compelling and provocative, to hilarious and uplifting. This year, NFFTY is partnering with The Next Fifty to add the Future of Film Expo, a free two-day event that's open to the public on Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28. The Expo will have film-focused panels, workshops and exhibitors, including a Film 101 booth that is a great introduction for families.
If you'd like to take in a film, try the "Bring the Kids" screening, an event designated for families with young children. Some of the other screenings might have content that is over the heads of younger kids, depending on the age, so be sure to check out the website ahead of time. The festival will also have free "pedicabs" giving people rides between SIFF Cinema and the Expo, which is fun for kids.
