About:
West Coast Premiere!
Hello World (Hei Verden) is a fun, engaging, moving celebration of kids and young people who have the courage to be different and take pride in their identities, whether that means coming out as queer to their communities, colouring their hair blue, or dressing without conforming to gender. While many of their classmates and friends are doing everything they can to fit in, Runa, Dina, Viktor, and Joachim are defining themselves differently. They are the first and only openly queer students in their classes, and the youngest in their respective communities to come out.
But building pride is not easy in a world where hate messages are just a click away, and school administrators seek to erase and marginalize outstanding voices. What is it really like to be the only openly queer student in a school? What goes through your head when youve resolved to come out, but your school asks you to wait so that they can prepare the news first? How do you begin to date as the queer minority at a school? Does queer life get easier over time?
CW: Some of the young subjects in Hello World swear and talk about sex.

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
