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.
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 maria@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 in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. We are not currently checking vaccination cards. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.

Home Movies
(Rosie Trump, US, 2021, 6 min)
Home Movies consists of vintage found footage of people dancing. Moments captured long ago of living room dance parties, birthdays, and impromptu twirls down the street and in the kitchen.
They Dance with Their Heads
(Thomas Corriveau, Canada, 2021, 8 min, in English & French with English subtitles)
The severed head of a choreographer is held captive by an eagle on a desert island. With a dazzling mastery of drawing and painting, this animated short unexpectedly takes us into the sensitive world of an artist madly in love with dance.
Imágenes de una realidad - Images of a reality
(Ana Baer & Cecilia Appleton, Mexico, 2020, 4 min)
An intimate view at an intergenerational family living in one of the largest cities in the world, filmed on location in Mexico City.
Gravity
(Paul Shepherd, Hong Kong, 2022, 3 min)
In a sudden global cataclysmic event – me, you,and everyone we know are unified in our isolation – we work isolated, we study isolated and we struggle isolated. The real is just out of [human] touch.
.smooth
(Stephan Dorn, Germany, 2022, 1 min)
Ten hard cuts. Ten snapshots of movement. Out of focus, unfinished, silly. The pictures dance with themselves, according to a strict beat. And when they are done, they start all over.
FACE TO FACE
(Florent Mahoukou, Congo, 2021, 19 min, in French)
At a difficult turning point in his personal and professional life, choreographer Florent Mahoukou returns to the town of Pointe Noire where, for him, everything began with dance.
