Do you love the film festival experience but are looking for something stranger?  Then the North Bend Film Festival (NBFF) is for you!

NBFF is open to all lovers of short films, featured films, Pacific Northwest shorts, and Pacific Northwest Features!  Since 2018, the NBFF returns to the scenic town of North Bend, Washington, with a focus on standout vanguard programming.  North Bend is best known as the original shooting location for cult-hit and recently re-birthed TWIN PEAKS.

The movie "Piercing" Dir. Nicolas Pesce - Pacific Northwest Premiere | Something Strange Program | Competition Feature

This festival is for both movie watchers and movie makers and it will also feature special screenings, filmmaker talks, a VR showcase, and immersive events in addition to the program.

Whether you’re looking for a spiritual experience, a Twin Peaks moment, a hike through the gorgeous woods of Washington, or just some damn fine movies, the Festival will have something for you.  It’s an intimate, experimental genre festival well worth making the trek for.
