EVERETT — The 2025 Everett Film Festival will be held 12:30-5:30 p.m. April 5-6 at the Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave.
The two-day lineup, which features three longer films on Saturday and 10 short films on Sunday, will include “I’m Not a Robot,” this year’s Oscar winner for best live-action short film. “I’m Not a Robot” explores what would happen if you repeatedly failed that computer security question about being human.
Saturday’s highlights include the award-winning film “Fish War,” a locally produced documentary that tells the story of the battle for indigenous fishing rights in Washington state.
Local filmmakers Emma and Annie Stafki created “Echoes of the Sound,” about the day their grandparents witnessed the 1968 capture of a young orca near their home. “Lost in Paris,” is billed as a physical comedy about the adventures of a young woman who goes to France to visit her aunt, only to find her missing.
On Sunday, “Gardening in a War Zone” showcases one Ukrainian woman’s effort to support her family and maintain sanity in the midst of devastation. “Savi the Cat” reveals the potential for havoc that can accompany a furry feline.
Speakers and Q&As will follow several of the films.
Attendees can enjoy free popcorn and snacks, and a mid-day happy hour bar will be available.
The nonprofit Everett Film Festival has been showing international films since 1997. Prices for two-day admission is $50 adult and $40 seniors/students/military. One day admission is $30. For more information, please see everettfilmfestival.org.
