North Portland Unknown Film Festival (3)

Festival start: 12 October 2018      Festival end: 13 October 2018

The Portland Unknown returns!

Our goal is to curate a gallery of film for the underground, under-known, rough and raw filmmaker. Low Budget, analog format, top priority. The Portland Unknown Film Festival is here to showcase films of highest quality and deepest heart!
​
Your goal is to bring us into worlds we've never seen before. Take us on a lucid dream through your mind. Teach us something new. Show us the light. Make us go, "Huh?"

On October 19th and 20th, 2018 at Disjecta , the Portland Unknown Film Festival will be featuring the brightest and best hidden gems from around the Milky Way. The festival will consist of multiple segments including a rowdy 2-minute festival where the audience is the judge.

​Submit today! Unveil your experiments and alternate realities to us!
