About
(Kasi Lemmons, United States, 1997, 1hour 49min, in English)
Louis Batiste (Samuel L. Jackson), a married doctor who is well-respected in his community, is an unrepentant womanizer. Eve, his youngest daughter, witnesses one instance of his infidelity, but her father’s “healing powers” and the mythology of his reputation conflict with what she’s seen and confuse her. Eve is precociously intelligent, brimming with provocative questions, but she is still too young to grasp the risks and consequences of her knowledge.
Eve’s sister Mozelle (Debbi Morgan) is another kind of healer, with a deep, intuitive faith in the spiritual world. Her faith influences her little sister, and Eve begins to embrace voodoo as a place where she might be able to find some clarity about the mysteries and secrets of her family.
Eve’s Bayou is a deeply poetic soujourn through moss-draped Louisiana landscapes. But its setting has an ineffable quality to it, positioning Eve’s Bayou as a story that takes place somewhere between the material and spiritual worlds, where truth and its perception can change shape depending on the light of day.
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.
