Festival - Local Sightings Film Festival 2022 [Hybrid] About
** Co-presented with LANGSTON! **
Please join us for a night of community, laughter, and psychedelic vibes, featuring films by three Seattle-based filmmakers!
In Wheels de Amor, Navy vet Michelle plunges head (or feet) first into Seattles vibrant skating community. She shimmies and strides her way towards self-acceptance and mastery over traumatic events in her past in this luminous short.
Reckless Spirits looks at personal baggage with a decidedly Dutch tilt, derailing therapist Yvette and performance artist Syds journey to an AA meeting with cults, ghosts, and chakra-opening encounters.
In our main feature Thank You, MS PAM, the inimitable Tariqa Waters, curator of Pioneer Squares Martyr Sauce Pop Art Museum, hosts an unconventional talk show. With her signature question, Whats in your lunchbox?, Waters probes the minds of Seattle dancers, tattoo artists, musicians, and restaurateurs to explore the joys of their pasts and their loves of today.
These idiosyncratic films share stylish, hyperkinetic editing, absurdist humor, and an emphasis on uplifting local talent. As one of Reckless Spiritss characters advises the other, Warn me next time you trip. Consider yourself warned.
** Stay for the after partyfollowing the screening, dj onMars will grace our lobby with dance tunes! **

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forums 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.
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 cris@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.
