About
Armageddon has never been so darkly funny as in this documentary cult classic. This 1982 cine-collage juxtaposes Cold War history, propaganda, music and culture, seamlessly crafted from government-produced educational and training films, newsreels and advertisements. Taken together, these sources cheerily instruct the public on how to live in the Atomic Age, how to survive a nuclear attack (!) and how to fight and win a nuclear war. As a U.S. Army training film advises, Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man.
Gloriously restored in sparkling 4K by IndieCollect, The Atomic Cafe is an absurdist blast from the past that would be laughable if it werent so mortally, perpetually relevant.

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
