This year's opening night of the 17th annual DOCTOBER features the West Coast premiere of the new documentary, RED FEVER, October 3rd at 7:00 PM. Tickets to Red Fever on 10/3 will also include admission to the opening night party at SPARK Museum next door from Pickford Film Center (1312 Bay St. Bellingham).
RED FEVER is a witty and entertaining feature documentary about the profound yet hidden Indigenous influence on Western culture and identity. The film follows Cree co-director Neil Diamond as he asks, “Why do they love us so much?” and sets out on a journey to find out why the world is so fascinated with the stereotypical imagery of Native people that is all over pop culture.
Each October the Pickford showcases Doctober—a month-long documentary film festival dedicated to one of Bellingham’s proven favorite genres. Doctober is the largest documentary festival in the Northwest, screening over 35 films in one month.
