Praise Kink: South Sound Experimental Film Festival
Honorable Mentions in Short Film and Experimental Cinema 2026
For this screening, we’ll be hosting the South Sound Experimental Film Festival!
An evening of high praise—of giving and receiving, admiration, and warm affections for honorable mentions. These films couldn’t fit into the 2025 fest (time shapes every program, and there’s only so much space for the many films). This one-night-only event – SSEFF’s final screening before a short pause – felt like a fitting moment to dedicate to a select group of submissions.
The program highlights a few wonderful local gems, alongside selections from across the U.S and beyond. Come join us for a cozy, feel-good evening of validating film and honoring the exciting growth of experimental forms.
Filmmakers include:
Blue Jaye Corvidae-Schulte
Avian de Keizer
Miglė Križinauskaitė
Sitong Lu
Caroline Tuohey
Michael McCurdy
