NW Documentary is hosting a special free screening as part of PNW Climate Week, a week-long celebration of climate action and storytelling across the Pacific Northwest.⁠
⁠
Other Side of the Hill explores climate change through the eyes of rural community leaders in Eastern Oregon. The film challenges the perceived divide between rural and urban, left and right, and discovers common ground in an urgency to address our changing landscape. Following the screening, the filmmakers will join us live via video for a Q&A. ⁠

This Friday don’t miss FILMS FROM EARTH - A16mm film screening!

Join us for a celebration of our beautiful blue marble with a portrait throughout the 20th century, told through 16mm curated by the Nyback Archive. More info in our bio!

Travel through time and bear witness to snippets of a planet that is at once familiar and alien. We'll be showing a locally-made film about Forest Park, a diversity of biomes from the tundra to the kelp forest, animation, and more.

Celebrate the deep-rooted connection between humans and forests at TREE FEST, a special free evening in collaboration with Trees & Co, and NW Documentary.

This evening features a curated selection of short films and a live panel discussion exploring the beauty, history, and future of our PNW old-growth forests. Come for the stories, stay for the community, and leave with a renewed appreciation for the trees that sustain us.

The night features five short films:

A Forest Log (Dir. David Herasimtschuk) – A journey into old-growth forests through the eyes of writer and artist Peg Herring.

Nuu-k’wii-daa-naa—ye (Dir. David-Paul Hedberg) – The story of a sacred Sitka spruce in Lincoln City, "Our Ancestor," saved to reseed the forest.

Between Earth and Sky (Dir. Andrew Nadkarni) – Follows renowned ecologist Nalini Nadkarni’s journey of recovery and canopy research.

Free to Grow (Dir. Jesse Andrew Clark) – A powerful look at rural Oregon families fighting against aerial herbicide spraying.

Giants (Dir. Luz Carasa) – A cinematic portrait of environmental icon Bob Brown and the ancient trees he fights for.

Followed by a panel discussion featuring David-Paul B. Hedberg (Historian and author of From Stumptown to Treetown); Peg Herring (Ecologist and science communicator); Luz Carasa (Acclaimed documentary editor and storyteller); Casey Clapp (Co-author and forest expert).
