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 cris@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.

About

(Matt Orefice, WA, 2022, 89 min, in English)
World Premiere!

A poorly-drawn cat, the end of the world, and chewing gum.

After Bubble Bubble Meows and the Meteor Stomachache (2014), Bubble Bubble Meows and the Lame-O Baby Jib (2015), and Bubble Bubble Meows and the Things That Happen In Movies Like This (2015), the next logical step was to have a shorter title.

Our titular cat reunites with his nephew to campaign against the act of spitting out gum (which is gross, admit it). Said gum, and a reality-warping sock, threaten the very fabric of the universe, while an agreement to distribute pet-eating mollusks fouls a magic dog biscuit statue that could save them all. Along the way are talking trout jerkies, a potato-obsessed shirt grub, grease drippings mistaken for bubble tea, and… gross trucks.

Bubble Bubble Meows is proud to return for his third visit to NWFF! This film is suitable for …most… ages. Co-written, co-animated, co-starring, and co-produced by the producer/director’s children.
