About:
** Northwest premiere! Co-presented with Goethe Pop Up Seattle **
Developed by the Nazis as a propagandistic site, Prora was a vacation resort designed to help build sympathies between working-class vacationers and the Nazi party. Though its intended use never fully came to fruition, the site was later used as a military training site which also housed a large group of East German Conscientious Objectors. Today, taking influence from American industry titan Henry Ford, the building is being redeveloped into a contemporary vacation destination, which includes a youth hostel, apartments, condominiums, and hotels.
touristic intents traces Proras history across many decades and uses, drawing contrasts and connections between the Nazi, East German identity, and contemporary political moment, while acknowledging the influence of American industrialization and globalism. It features archival footage and propaganda dating back to the height of the Nazi movement, and interviews with everyone from former conscientious objectors and historians to modern-day architects and designers. The film raises important questions about what role history should play in determining contemporary uses of land and architecture; what does full reclamation of a space look like, and how can it be achieved?

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
