Series - Little Bit Off: AWP Offsite Events at NWFF [In-Person Only]
About
Northwest Film Forum and The 3rd Thing present an AWP offsite event: a showcase of time-based disturbances.
Attend this screening to get a glimpse of the work you can expect to see in Good Symptom, a serial video anthology forthcoming from The 3rd Thing. Good Symptom challenges the page as the domain of literary work through curated works troubling the boundaries between cinematic and literary forms and critical essays. The publication is inspired by Roland Barthes statement in Camera Lucida, that The incapacity to name is a good symptom of disturbance.
Good Symptom will be released as a full suite of short films over the course of 12 monthly online installments, beginning in September 2023.

ABOUT The 3rd Thing
The 3rd Thing is an independent press dedicated to publishing necessary alternatives. Every year or so we publish a cohort of projects representing in form, content, and perspective our interdisciplinary, intersectional priorities.
We publish work mainly by artists and writers who identify as members of traditionally marginalized groups, primarily Indigenous people, womxn, queer people and people of color.
Often our books are the result of an artist working in a non-dominant disciplinea playwright writes a book of poems, a theater-maker writes a book of essays, a filmmaker writes a book of theory. And while our emphasis is on print traditions, our projects may take any number of forms: books, broadsides, performances, installations, colloquia, video anthologies, etc.

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 Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
