NWFF - Local Sightings, Borrowing Time and Opening party

Borrowing Time
(Webster Crowell, 2004, 16mm, 100min.)

"It is more exiting to be lured into using one's imagination, than watching something impeccable and searching for it's flaws - and BORROWING TIME sets out to be nothing, if not flawed." -Webster Crowell

Borrowing Time is an ambitious feature film by Seattle filmmaker and animator Webster Crowell. Based aesthetically on serial adventure films from the '30s and '40s, this epic scale, low budget film has all of the ingredients small films are supposed to avoid, including barbaric locations, the end of the world, and an army of explosive, animated monsters. Returning to the disciplines employed before the invention of modern effects, it is a film in which aliens have manners, spaceships fly on wires, and computers employ large, calibrated knobs and switches. The result is an homage to our earliest cinematic fantasies unlike anything seen in some time.

Followed by the Opening Party for Local Sightings with beverages and food provided.
