series  of  small  campaigns,  we’ve  completed  half  of  our  $500,000  overall  goal,  which  will  eventually  include  a  new  database,  new  telephone  system,  and  website. All  of  it  is  inspired  by  the  idea  of  bringing  to  Seattle  the  freshest  images  in  world  cinema  and  creating  for  local  filmmakers  the  best  opportunities  to  learn  about  filmmaking  and  to  develop  their  own  voices  and  to  support  them  as  they  launch  their  careers.  There  are  too  many  highlights  to  list  here,  but  they  can  be  divided  into  the  cinematic  and  the  social.   Over  the  past  decade,  our  Children’s  Film  Festival  has  risen  to  be  our  biggest  annual  program,  and  as  we  look  to  its  10th  anniversary  in  late  January,  which  coincides  with  the  Film  Forum’s  20th  anniversary,  we  see  with  some  amazement  how  it  has  expanded  to  a  fortnight  of  offerings  in  global  family  films,  burgeoning  filmmaking  camps,  a  partnership  with  Children’s  Hospital,  and  a  tour  that  crosses  the  country  and  now  includes  a  relationship  with  the  prestigious  Brooklyn  Academy  of  Music,  for  whom  we  provide  original  programming  in  the  fall.

   And  we  have  continued  to  premiere  important  and  award-­‐winning  films,  too  -­‐-­‐  some  80  in  the  past  24  months.  A  small  number  of  highlights  include  Stephanie  Spray  and  Pacho  Velez’s  Manakamana,  Jia  Zhangke’s  A  Touch  of  Sin  (both  in  2014),  Miguel  Gomes’  riddling  and  pretty  Tabu  (2013).

We  have  commissioned  6  live  shows  that  play  with  (and  against)  films.  Salt  Horse’s  Color  Field  from  this  past  year  pushed  through  the  whole  building,  down  hallways,  in  the  lobby  and  into  the  main  theater  for  an  exciting  and  original  spell  of  evenings  in  the  spring.

Education Since  2009  we  have  offered  two-­‐week  intensive  camps  for  young  filmmakers:  one  for  middle-­‐school  aged  kids  and  one  for  high  school.  This  past  year  we  stepped  that  up,  adding  a  week-­‐long  camp  for  7-­‐10  year-­‐olds,  and  another  week  off-­‐campus  at  (and  in  partnership  with)  the  Jewish  Community  Center  for  more  middle-­‐school  aged  kids.  2014  sees  the  return  of  our  winter  film  camps,  and  this  fall  we  launched  our  first  ever  after-­‐school  Film  Club.   Our  classes  have  grown,  too,  bringing  a  steady  stream  of  professionals  and  aspiring  filmmakers    through  our  doors  –  to  our  cinemas,  our  summits,  and  our  festivals.
