Established in 1971, the Northwest Film Center is a regional media arts resource and service organization founded to encourage the study, appreciation, and utilization of the moving image arts, foster their artistic and professional excellence, and to help create a climate in which they may flourish. The Center provides a variety of film and video exhibition, education, and information programs primarily directed to the residents of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska.

The Northwest Film Center produces the annual Northwest Filmmakers' Festival, the Portland International Film Festival, the Portland Jewish Film Festival, Reel Music, and Fresh Film Northwest.
