Festival - Cadence Video Poetry Festival 2022 [Hybrid]
About:
Taking its title from a poem written in morse code and light, this showcase offers meditations on how we present ourselveswhere we come from, who we call family, how we communicate. Some works play with a visual language of omission and distortion while others lay bare their lineage and histories, both approaches ask for understanding and recognition. Using persona, art practice, and movement, these works reveal a poetry of visibility.

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!
