POST ALLEY FILM FESTIVAL, presented by Women in Film Seattle, takes place MARCH 20, 2027 at SIFF Film Center, Seattle, Washington, USA.
PAFF is a day of woman centric & eccentric short films from around the block and around the world - diverse voices that remind us of our shared humanity: a venue for stories by women of any identity.
Past festivals included early work of Megan Griffiths, SJ Chiro, Lynn Shelton, Robin Wright Penn, and Ana Lily Amipour.
Awards, Q&As, prizes and surprises, and a silent auction. Filmmakers attend an invitational "end of evening" reception. PAFF is sponsored by Laughing Dog Pictures and Women in Film Seattle a 501(c) 3 organization since 1990 … promoting respect for all, on and off set and screen.

PAFF has been in existence since 2003 originating in Post Alley, Seattle, WA, (in Pike Place Market) and didn't happen every year between then and now. 2025 was our 15th Edition. And we persevere.
Post Alley Film Festival screens at SIFF Film Center (at Seattle International Film Festival*) which rests on the traditional homelands of the Coast Salish People.
Native American and indigenous filmmakers of the Pacific Northwest who identify as women receive a submission waiver. Please contact virginia@laughingdogpictures.com
(*PAFF is not part of SIFF, however Women in Film Seattle is a community sponsor of SIFF.)
Every film is carefully judged. ALL films are screened by the curator, Virginia Bogert, a filmmaker and winner of the Seattle Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film. She is President Emerita WIF Seattle and a programmer and judge for multiple national and international festivals.
