About
Edward Owens (19492009) was a queer African-American filmmaker who was involved with the New American Cinema of the 1960s. He is best known for his experimental films Remembrance: A Portrait Study (1967) and Private Imaginings and Narrative Facts (196870). When he moved to New York City as a young man, Owens was hired by Jonas Mekas to work at the Film-makers Cinemateque. When Mekas saw Owens films, Owens was invited to join the FMC for distribution as a part of the New American Cinema movement.
In 2016, Film-Makers Cooperative Executive Director MM Serra collaborated with IndieCollect to preserve the four Owens films within the NACG collection through a 5k digital scanning process. The digital transfer was supervised by NACGs digital media specialist Sheldon Henderson.

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 Cara Mia Harris at caramia@nwfilmforum.org
