About
This April, SFS’s Locals Only will feature four shorts that trace how the natural world informs our lives. From falling in love to the journey of cooking ingredients to elaborate scavenger hunts, our April screening is all about how we engage with nature- and how nature engages with us:
-
GLASS QUEST by Georgia Krause: Every year in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, adventure seekers from across the nation gather to compete in the Northwest Glass Quest. (12 min)
-
HUNG UP ON YOU by Ellie Nishino: Over the course of a tense phone call, two girls who were once best friends, slowly untangle the web of misunderstandings that led to the end of their budding romance earlier that summer. (5 min
-
DEER SEASON by Cam McHarg: “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” – Benjamin Franklin. (10 Min
-
OUT OF NOTHING by Ryan Do & Carlos Salinas: From farm to table, a chef’s vision comes to life, tracing the delicate journey of ingredients, sketches, and craft that transform imagination into a perfectly plated Khao Soi.. (2 Min)
Join us for a screening and Q&A with drinks to follow at Linda’s Tavern!
Thursday April 30th at the Northwest Film Forum. Doors at 6:30, Films at 7. See ya at the movies!
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 suji@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 strongly encouraged to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. 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.

Refund & Late Policy
Northwest Film Forum reserves the right to release tickets to anyone on standby if there are open seats 5 minutes after a sold out show’s scheduled start time. If you arrive and your seat has been given away, we will happily refund your ticket.
If you’re not feeling a particular movie you’re already watching, we will refund a ticket if you ask within the first 30 minutes of a film.
If you are unable to make it to a screening (sickness, forgot to come, dog ate your homework, etc.) please email rajah (at) nwfilmforum (dot) org to get a refund.
