the film festival is back!

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 deadline to submit is August 18th, 2024.

• Entries can be no longer than 30 minutes.

• Filmmakers must be (or have been at time of production) NW residents.

• This festival benefits the Lewis County Historical Museum.

The Northwest Flying Saucer Film Fest proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world's #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.
