The best film corner in America
By Robert Horton

Considering the various past and upcoming film festivals in Seattle got me thinking about the intersection between moviegoing and moviemaking. I have always thought, or imagined, that a strong film culture that includes arthouse theaters, revivals of classics, college film programs and societies, and other such boosts to movie literacy, would be important to encouraging local filmmaking.

Reel NW feature Waking the Green Tiger, is a documentary on the subject of the environmental response to a dam-building project on a wild river in Yunnan province in China.

Reel NW and Indie Seattle
By Robert Horton

This week's Reel NW title is Bone Wind Fire, Canadian filmmaker Jill Sharpe's examination of three artists and their habitats: Georgia O'Keefe and the American Southwest; Frido Kahlo and Mexico; and, closest to home, Emily Carr and the green density of British Columbia.

The Pacific Northwest will be represented at the second annual PBS Online Film Festival. Three short films from KCTS 9’s Reel NW series are among the 25 short films that are featuring in the 2013 festival.

Welcome to Doe Bay

Last year when the jury members for the Reel NW prize at the Seattle International Film Festival got together, we were strongly agreed on Megan Griffiths's film Eden as our top pick. But it would've been a short meeting if we hadn't at least kicked around our next-favorites, and so we did.

We are excited to have Seattle writer Robert Horton as a guest blogger for season 3 of Reel NW. Here he introduces the season 3 shorts.

A group of themed short films gives you a chance to feel the similarities, the reverberations, between different offerings and different viewpoints.

Which is fine.
