Movie theaters will sadly miss out on this year’s film festival season, but organizers in the Northwest and around the country are coming through with virtual events to bring those festivals to you. This way, you’ll get to experience all the world premieres, short film blocks, and livestreamed events with actors and filmmakers that your heart desires without leaving your favorite spot on the couch/floor/bed or booking a cross-country flight. We’ve rounded up all the fall 2020 options available to you below, from Seattle’s French Cinema Now to version 2.0 of the Portland International Film Festival to the New York Film Festival. Get yourself a couple months’ supply of popcorn and start planning! In the meantime, you can also check out our on-demand calendar for movies available to stream now.
