The fourth annual DCFF will open at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 25 with WASH UP, a redemption story about a failed NHL star who returns to his small hometown for a fresh start. Later that night, join us for the LA-made supernatural comedy ELIZA SHERMAN’S REVENGE and a post-show Q&A with the filmmaker! There is a full slate of programming for Saturday, August 26, featuring the thought-provoking documentary THE LURE, two diverse short film packages, the insightful drama, KATE CAN’T SWIMFREE family short films at 12:00 p.m. (with free donuts!), and a free screenwriting panel at 2:00 p.m. Join us on Sunday, August 27 for Evergreen Shorts – a collection of local films and a discussion with the filmmakers after the screening. At 2:00 p.m., we are thrilled to be hosting the Northwest premiere of the award-winning documentary, THE BLOOD IS AT THE DOORSTEP, with special guest Maria Hamilton and Seattle University professor Angelique Davis, who will engage in a post-film discussion regarding the film’s cultural and societal relevance. The festival will wrap up at 4:30 p.m. with a presentation of this year’s Storyteller awards, and a screening of A BAD IDEA GONE WRONG, an offbeat comedy about two would-be thieves who forge a surprising relationship with an unexpected house sitter when they accidentally trap themselves in a house they just broke into.
