About
(Kalil Haddad & Ryan Steel, Canada, 2025, 62 min, in English)
From staples of the independent Canadian scene, filmmakers Kalil Haddad and Ryan Steel present their new shorts cycle You Sorta Know It’s Gonna End. Conceived as a video mixtape, this hour-long compendium echoes the era of VHS rips, featuring ten classic shorts from both directors, alongside the new collaboration ‘BAND PRACTICE’.
A bold new voice in queer experimental film, Kalil Haddad’s global tour of his previous collection ‘He Never Dies : The Films of Kalil Haddad’ established him as a provocateur; reckoning with a fraught visual aesthetic which inhabits the burning edge of cultural danger and morality. He recently starred in Isiah Medina’s 2025 debut feature, Gangsterism (2025).
Ryan Steel is a member of the Winnipeg Film Group, previously working with established voices of the Canadian avant-garde such as directors Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg, Rumours) and Grace Glowiki (Dead Lover). He brings to this work his notion of material, analog and DIY aesthetic – together, crafting You Sorta Know It’s Gonna End as a tangle of nostalgia, masculine crisis and caustic youth.

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.
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.
⚠️ COVID-19 Policies ⚠️
NWFF patrons are encouraged 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. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.

Refund & Late Policy
Northwest Film Forum reserves the right to release tickets to anyone on standby if there are open seats 5 minutes after a sold out show’s scheduled start time. If you arrive and your seat has been given away, we will happily refund your ticket.
If you’re not feeling a particular movie you’re already watching, we will refund a ticket if you ask within the first 30 minutes of a film.
If you are unable to make it to a screening (sickness, forgot to come, dog ate your homework, etc.) please email rajah (at) nwfilmforum (dot) org to get a refund.
