Discussion
(Emmanuel Cappellin, France, 2021, 104 min, in French, English & Bengali with English subtitles)
The Alliance Française de Seattle is delighted to celebrate Earth Day in partnership with Northwest Film Forum with a special screening of ONCE YOU KNOW, the intimate journey of director Emmanuel Cappellin across a world at the edge of climate-induced collapse. His voyage into this uncharted territory is that of a whole generation turning to climate scientists, local democracy, grassroots initiatives, and mass rebellion in a courageous search for an exit.
The screening will be followed by a 45-minute group discussion moderated by the AFSeattle team. The audience will be led through a post-screening discussion focused on interactivity and sharing of experiences, beneficial exchanges, and encouraging them to take action.
Full synopsis:
Today, like a ship entering the storm, industrial civilisation faces the first symptoms of energy depletion and climate change induced collapse. Once You Know asks the disturbing questions: Are there better ways of collapsing than others? What is meaningful work on the way down?
Director Emmanuel Cappellin is obsessed with how to best respond personally and collectively. His quest leads him around the world to meet five of the worlds leading climate scientists and energy experts. They share with him the truth, chaos, and hope in their work. They allow him to challenge everything he took for granted from growth-based democracies to personal freedoms. This odyssey brings him back to himself and to Saillans, his small mountain village. In this life-size, open sky laboratory, everything becomes once again possible: having a child, redefining questions of social justice, implementing participatory democracy, starting an energy transition The first steps, perhaps, towards some kind of collective resilience.

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!
