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.

STRANGER AT HOME
Seattle Premiere!
(Beth Dolan & Luis Remesar, US, 2022, 77 min, in English)
CW: images of war violence and a narrative that addresses traumatic events, all of which may be triggering
STRANGER AT HOME shines a spotlight on the catastrophic state of American military mental healthcare and the immediate solutions to this problem. The film weaves the life-altering stories of the Navy psychologist forced into whistleblowing, the Army Ranger involved in the friendly fire killing of NFL star Pat Tillman, and the Vietnam Marine turned world-renowned trauma expert, as they work tirelessly to deliver their urgent call-to-action for military mental health transformation.

The Train I Missed
Seattle Premiere!
(Michael Kleven & Elke Hautala, Netherlands & US, 2021, 25 min, in English)
In 1942, a Jewish toddler in the Netherlands is sent into hiding by his parents to avoid Nazi capture. Eight decades later, Ernst revisits places and recounts the bravery of the people who helped him along the way.
