THIS WEEKEND, ON DEC 6, CHECK OUT THE LARGEST SINGLE-DAY SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD. NOT ONLY WILL YOU SEE AWESOME INDEPENDENT FILM, YOU MIGHT MEET SOME REALLY COOL FOLKS.
In a world where the movie industry has taken over small independent theaters, Couch Fest has come to save the day with their film festival that ditches the traditional theater venue for a cozy spot on a couch at residential homes all over the city, and the world.
What is it?
Presenting films from such festivals as Sundance, SXSW, Seattle International Film Festival and more, Couch Fest is bringing neighborhoods together one couch at a time.
The cost is $10 Film-Pass for all locations for the whole day!
Check their website for purchasing tickets.Where is it?
In addition to many North Seattle homes, including many near Greenlake and in and around Wallingford/Lake Union, Couch Fest has locations in quite a few other Seattle neighborhoods.
How Does it Work?
Each venue will present a unique program of short films. There is a short intermission in the middle of each program for viewers to discuss the films and socialize. I think this makes it a very unique experience. The opportunity to interact, share and discover new films and fellow lovers of film.
What Kind of Films will be Shown?
The list is expansive, and you can definitely find a full list on their website, but to give you an idea of what is happening around our hood, here are some of the flavors you can experience:
