About
(Arthur J. Bressan Jr., 1984, USA, 72 min, in English)
Newly restored in 2K for its 40th anniversary!
Edward Thompson (Daniel Holt) is a gay filmmaker hard at work on his latest triple-X epic: the tacky story of a pair of college buddies (Dean Johnson and Andrew Dupree) wanting to hook up with an older daddy (Richard Locke) called Fuck Me, Fuck Me, Daddy! But as shooting gets underway, Edward finds his happy memories of his ex (Johnny Dawes) and his private fantasies of the couple he peeps on (Jan Boscamp and Robert Vega) bleeding into the action happening on set. The concluding chapter in the loose trilogy started by Passing Strangers and Forbidden Letters, Daddy Dearest is a lighthearted but provocative exploration of fantasy, memory, and cinema.
Daddy Dearest is not just a porn film—it is an artful and intimate record of contemporary Gay culture.” – Morgan Ellis, Bay Area Reporter
“Thoroughly explores the rim of the homophile sex world and plumbs the depths of positive, non-possessive, man-to-man interaction.” – Penni Kimmel, Alternate
“Provides snapshot-like glimpses of how Gay men live and play, while raising the stakes of our communal fantasies.” – David Lamble, Sentinel

Admittance will be denied to anyone under the age of 18.
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.
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.
