Click for Accessibility Info
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum’s ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21″ wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19″ wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
Made possible due to a grant from Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, in partnership with Sensory Access, our Sensory Access document presents a visual and descriptive walk-through of the NWFF space. View it in advance of attending an in-person event at bit.ly/nwffsocialnarrativepdf, in order to prepare yourself for the experience.
⚠️ COVID-19 Policies ⚠️
NWFF patrons will be required to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while attending STUFF. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.

About
(103 min TRT)
Get freaky with us on Friday night! OUTSIDE THE LINES combines animated, experimental, and films shot-on-film that defy expectations. These are filmmakers who play with the physicality and form of the medium. Think Adult Swim, but more transgender.

T4T
(Avian de Keizer, United States, 3:01)

Composed of iPhone footage, 16mm painted film, microscopy, archival footage, original music and poetry, this diary short film meditates on finding faith in love and birds. Content Warning: Some moments of flashing, photosensitivity.
Homemade Gatorade
(Carter Amelia Davis, United States, 9:07)
A woman embarks on a road trip to deliver homemade Gatorade to a mysterious online buyer in this short that’s much weirder than whatever you’re imagining.
