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 rajah@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 attending STUFF. 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.

About
(84 min TRT)
Let’s talk about sex, maybe…let’s talk about you and ‘we’. Let’s talk about all the touching, yearning, thinking, and wanting. This shorts program is about the the flesh, and for the flesh!
Films In This Program:
Dyson
(Clac, Fara Renaud, Belgium, 14m)
Some people seek diamonds, Roxane just wants a fancy vacuum cleaner. With Trinity and Julia’s help, she is set to make her wettest dream come true.
Cockroach
(Justice Maya Singleton, Liliana Padilla, United States, 22m)
A black transgender man plans to exchange sex for top surgery money with an older gay man until his night hook up turns into a hunt for a cockroach who inspires him to open his heart and conquer his fears.
Not Exactly Strangers
(Ryan Rox, United States, 15m)
A tipsy hookup between a Latine trans woman and a rough-edged skater boy from her past becomes a comedic, yet intimate deep-dive into post-surgical sex, lingering history, and a body she’s still learning to celebrate.
pounded
(Lis Walter, Germany, 10m)
Pounded explores what it means to be treated like a juicy piece of meat and why, for its protagonists, this does not equal objectification.
The Duties of a Lighthouse Keeper
(Rory Midhani, Germany, 8m)
This film follows the daily life of an isolated seaman, all alone on a hard, hard rock, going about his duties whilst yearning for the touch of his fellow man. Is there more to this life than servicing the buoys?
Touching Ugliness
(Ultra, Brazil, 15m)
With an entirely trans cast, Ugliness is a film-poetry about faith, scars and the beauty of what cannot be saved.
