Scope Screenings Season 5 is here. Monthly screenings spotlighting talented directors, bold short films, and the Seattle film community. Pick a single screening or pull up for the whole season.
Scope Screenings is Seattle's underground film festival — a live, monthly short-film night built for the filmmakers the industry tends to overlook. Tropical, wavy energy meets the illest shorts in the PNW.
“We put the fun back in film fests.”
“A lot of my peers never had the chance to see their work on a big screen. I built this for access, for collaboration, and to break down the barriers placed in front of Black, brown, and tan creatives.”
Every last Tuesday the Central District turns into a cinema: ten films, ten directors, and the best room in the city.
SCOPE SCREENINGS · 2026
We're built to put underrepresented filmmakers on a big screen in front of a packed, loving house. Twenty minutes or less, any genre. If it's bold and it's yours, send it.
One night a month, last Tuesday, June through December. Doors 6:30, lights down 7:30.
