About
These films occupy the thresholds among nostalgia, sorrow, renewal, loss, longing and memory.
In this program:
Parenthesis
In this lonely contemplation of a past summer, the ancient promontory becomes a parenthetical projection of frantic lines and alternating impressions.
(Vasilios Papaioannu, US, 2021, 5 min)
Because the sky is blue
A short piece paying tribute to my hometown Wuhan, China, applying cyanotype methods to 15-second social media videos from my childhood friends feeds.

A Return
Peering into layers, sliding planes of windows and time, the fragmentary gesture of the dance. A series of rapid contrasts, a synthesis of elemental and everyday experience. Structures shift and intermingle, two worlds become one.
(James Edmonds, Germany, 2018, 6 min)
Psychic Meat
The film is a diary and act of bearing witness in which Wardell tells of his fathers artificial heart valve, the industrial farming industry that both provided the tissue for it and arguably hastened its necessity, and their somewhat distant father-son relationship. Poetically hand-developed in salt, a curing agent for meat. (Excerpt from a synopsis by Ben Nicholson for Alt/Kino)
(Stephen Wardell, US, 2020, 10 min, in English)
Black
Black is made entirely using images from found 16mm footage. The movie reflects the directors observations of the political and cultural turmoil after the 1979 revolution in Iran, along with her experiences of everyday life abroad.

Out in the Sky Nobody Sleeps
Put me on the train, send me back to my home. Couldnt live without you when I tried to roam.

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 Executive Director Vivian Hua at vivian@nwfilmforum.org
