Festival Passes grant access to BOTH virtual AND in-person film programs!
Individual Tickets are available, as well, but are for EITHER virtual-only OR in-person-only access.
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.
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.

Screens with:
Digital Champions leading the fight against FGM in Tanzania
(Steven Hervieu, Tanzania, 2022, 5 min, in English)
CW: discussions of violence towards women
Girls at risk of FGM in Mara, Tanzania live in very remote villages, far from the rule of law. Digital Champions help map these villages to ensure girls can be found quickly, especially in the middle of the night when most calls for urgent help are received, particularly during the “cutting season.” They also educate their communities and report cases of Gender Based Violence using a free smartphone app.
In Between
(Lindy Boustedt, US, 2020, 20 min, in English)
It’s the late-1980s and Lisa, a biracial teenager who has just moved to Seattle from London, is forced into a new world when she is segregated to a different school from her white sister. But when she meets a welcoming student at orientation, everything changes.
Written by a student in SHARE, the screenwriting program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women, In Between is based on a true story – through the lens of a what-if.
What if her journey in Seattle had a different outcome and Lisa had found community and connection? What if she had been able to find confidence in herself? How differently could her life have turned out?
Becoming Black Lawyers
(Evangeline Mitchell, US, 2021, 25 min, in English)
CW: discussion of race and slavery
When these Black lawyers set out to receive a legal education, they did not realize that they would have to struggle against additional battles even more challenging than the rigors of learning law.
