The festival recommends this film for viewers aged 16+. Please note: Lots of (non-sexual) nudity in The Invention of the Other!
The Invention of the Other (A invenção do outro)
(Bruno Jorge, Brazil, 2022, 144 min, in Panoan & Portuguese with English subtitles)
In 2019, FUNAI, the Brazilian state protection agency working for Indigenous rights, sent an expedition of 30 people into the Amazon to make contact with the isolated Korubo people. This powerful film is an immersive ethnographic journey that breaks apart monolithic assumptions about the peoples who have long lived in the rainforest. The film also features Indigenist Bruno Pereira, who was murdered in 2022 during a mission to monitor illegal fishing in the Amazon territory.
A Woman Thinking (Thuë pihi kuuwi - Uma Mulher Pensando)
(Aida Harika Yanomami, Edmar Tokorino Yanomami & Roseane Yariana Yanomami, Brazil, 2022, 9 min, in Yanomae & Portuguese with English subtitles)
A Yanomami woman observes a shaman during the preparation of Yãkoana, food for the spirits. According to the narration of a young Indigenous woman, the Yãkoana that feeds the Xapiri and allows shamans to enter the world of spirits also proposes a meeting of perspectives and imaginations.

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
