As of August 2024, NWFF has adjusted its mask policy from universally required to strongly encouraged at the majority of screenings.

Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them.

** About the program: **
Stories of found family, childhood friends, old lovers, and everyone else who lingers in our thoughts when we go to sleep, and returns once we wake up. These poignant shorts grapple with the things left unsaid or unheard, and with the space between us.
(66 min TRT)

Matinee Baby
(Thom Hilton, Beaverton, OR, 2024, 18 min, in English)

Groove, Slam, Work It Back
(Amélia Simard, BC, 2023, 11 min, in English)
Groove, Slam, Work It Back gives a glimpse into Sayla and Ishi's grief, as they meet at Sayla's mother's house for the new year. When talking about Sayla's late sister, who was also Ishi's girlfriend, they clash: as Sayla withholds information, Ishi prods to know more about the sisters' mystery tradition.
Third

VORAZ - Ravenous
(Misty Shipman, Spokane, WA, 2024, 14 min, in English) World premiere!
Alejandro and Guadalupe, a seemingly happy young couple, are celebrating three years together. But their fancy dinner brings lingering issues to the surface, spurring a series of flashbacks to their best, and worst, times together. Movingly fluidly between English and Spanish, VORAZ Ravenous tackles themes of mental illness, addiction, and unconditional love.

In search of independence, a young woman moves out of her childhood home and into a place of her own. But independence comes with a cost as she navigates her decaying relationships in the looming presence of an encroaching spore invasion.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forums ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21 wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19 wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
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. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
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 suji@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
