No Maps On My Taps
(George T. Nierenberg, US, 1979, 58 min, in English)

About Tap
(George T. Nierenberg, US, 1985, 27 min, in English)

Filmed at a time when there was a question of tap dances survival, George Nierenbergs remarkable No Maps On My Taps offered brilliant insight into this indigenous American art form. The films incandescent artistry helped bring about a renaissance that has thrived to this day.

The remarkable spirit of tap dancers and their history provides a joyous backdrop for intimate portraits of hoofers Sandman Sims, Chuck Green and Bunny Briggs. The three legendary tap artists may have represented very different aesthetics but they shared a solidarity of spirit and tales of a long life on the road. About Tap, Nierenbergs brilliant and blissful followup film, introduces Gregory Hines, who shares his childhood memories of watching and imitating the tap dance greats at the Apollo Theater.

Taken together, Nierenbergs extraordinary documentaries tell the story of tap as a powerful expression of Black heritage and culture.

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 Patron Services Manager at cris@nwfilmforum.org
