Issaquah Film Festival 2025 Celebrating Local Talent and Independent Filmmaking

The Issaquah Film Festival, presented by Tarot 77 Productions in partnership with the City of Issaquah, is scheduled for Summer 2025 at the Regal Issaquah Highlands Theater. This two-day event emphasizes the importance of local talent and independent filmmakers, creating a platform for cultural exchange within the Pacific Northwest. Filmmakers are invited to submit works that have completed development between 2024 and 2025, with a focus on entries from the U. S. West-Region, including Washington, Alaska, and California.

Unique submission categories are available for Issaquah residents, which fosters community engagement, and for students aged 18 and under, offering discounted submission rates. The festival aims to build connections between filmmakers and audiences, promoting a collaborative spirit in the local film community. Interested parties can seek assistance through the provided email address, ensuring that all filmmakers have the support they need during the submission process. The festival's commitment to highlighting regional talent and providing networking opportunities enhances its appeal to both filmmakers and attendees. This initiative not only strengthens local arts but also serves as a significant cultural event for the Issaquah area.
