Work-In-Progress Screenings

Seattle Documentary Association (SeaDoc) hosts Works-in-Progress screenings at the Northwest Film Forum in Seattle, Washington and online since COVID-19. Open to the public with a primary audience of fellow documentary filmmakers, these moderated screenings foster a space for critical feedback and constructive dialogue.

We accept applications year-round for documentaries at the rough cut stage that can benefit from constructive feedback from an intimate audience. Guidelines and deadlines related to upcoming dates can be found on the FilmFreeway application.

“The work-in-progress screening and feedback was a huge help. I learned about a lot of things I needed to do, both from the feedback and the screening itself.”

- Tajuan LaBee, Director, The Black Panther Party in the Emerald City Presents: The Dixon Brothers
