As of August 2024, NWFF has adjusted its mask policy from universally required to strongly encouraged at the majority of screenings. In the interest of accessibility, the requirement is still in place for Thursday night screenings and Saturday and Sunday matinees; occasional exceptions will be noted on each event's page.
Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them.

** About this film: **
Experience the rough-and-tumble camaraderie between tree-planters in British Columbia's wilderness, as seen through the eyes of their adorable canine companions. Amidst the devastating impact of wildfires, deforestation, and record-breaking heat, these tree-restorers live day by day, "on the block." As one reflects, "Suburbia was never an option for us."
Starring: Olive, Ary, Broly, Lola, Frida, Kobe, Kaira, and Juniper.
(Everett Bumstead, Vancouver, BC, 2024, 44 min, in English) World premiere!
** About Managed to Extinction: **
In the past few decades, the Salish Sea's salmon population has been in rapid decline, endangering an entire ecosystem. Now, members of the 50+ Indigenous tribes of the Salish Sea, who have long relied on salmon for sustenance and ceremony, are speaking up. Managed to Extinction elevates the voices of an Indigenous visionary and an orca scientist as they work together to find a solution.
(Jessica Plumb, Port Townsend, WA, 2024, 16 min, in English) World premiere!

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.
