About the film:
(Walon Green, US, 1979, 97 min, in English & French with English subtitles)
While we sometimes praise artworks for being muscular and meaty, this New-Age classic reminds us that we shouldnt food-shame our vegetarian film fare. Such is the zeitgeist of vegetarian films like The Secret Life of Plants. Based on the 1973 book of the same title by Silvin Tompkins, this 1979 documentary zeroes in on the life and mind of plants, drawing on a range of scientific experiments to argue for the sentient life of the flower. From a 21st-century perspective, the films argument may feel less novel or scientifically convincing than it did during its time, but its an amusing reflection of its historical moment all the same. Even as a cultural curiosity, the plant footage and exclusive Stevie Wonder soundtrack ensure a high entertainment quotient. Perfect for any pod of consciousness-raising cinephiles.
Synopsis shamelessly lifted from Portland Museum of Art in Maine.

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
