*** About the program: ***
From 2020-2023, Minda Martin (filmmaker and educator at UW Bothell) has been teaching a course titled The City as Character in collaboration with archivists Anne Frantilla, Libby Hopfauf, and Jeanie Fisher from Seattle Municipal Archives (SMA) and Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound (MIPoPS). Students from the class produce short videos which directly engages SMA and MIPoPS to conduct research with selected public hearings listed in the archives recorded over 20-50 years ago, and make connections with the contemporary moment, mixing past and present newspaper clippings, photos, audio, and motion pictures. The assignments emphasize active and experiential learning by asking students to edit real experiences and voices from their communities about an issue that they care about at this moment, such as rent-control, discrimination, environmental injustice, transportation, and more that shapes the character of their city.

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
