About (Theo Anthony, 2016, USA, 82 min, in English)
Across walls, fences, and alleys, rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but make homes in them. Rat Film is a feature-length documentary that uses the ratas well as the humans that love them, live with them, and kill them-to explore the history of Baltimore. Theres never been a rat problem in Baltimore, its always been a people problem.
Director Statement:
My documentary work challenges the journalistic role of presenting an objective account of experience. I am interested in making films that explore how subjective reality is commodified to fit outsiders narratives of consumption and production. I want to understand how this process is used to anesthetize pain, to eliminate accountability, and how the divisions of artist and subject in film production mimic larger capitalist modes of exploitation. I want to make films that use a familiar visual language that can simultaneously speak to and challenge these histories of representation.

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!
