About:
** US premiere! **
Located in the remote Namibian desert, the town of Oranjemund has long been reliant on opportunities provided by the local diamond mine, which for years has been the primary source of education, water, and job opportunities for the towns residents. With the mines impending closure, Oranjemunds diverse residents are left in limbo as they consider whether to stay or leave; adapt or give up.
Desert Paradise is a behind-the-scenes look at the complex bureaucracy that Oranjemund residents must navigate if they hope to assert their identity and create genuine independence for their village. The most committed among them take it upon themselves to try to fill the vacuum left by the mining company, fostering local economies in gardening and tourism in an effort to secure a better future for the town.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is 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.
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 Executive Director Vivian Hua at vivian@nwfilmforum.org
