About
(Arthur J. Bressan, Jr., US, 1985, 81 min, in English)
In Buddies, the first-ever feature-length drama about AIDS, 25-year-old gay yuppie David is assigned to be a buddy to AIDS patient Robert, a politically impassioned, 32-year-old gay California gardener abandoned by his friends and lovers. Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. (Gay USA) skillfully unfolds this devastating two-hander (the rest of the cast is only heard offscreen) within the confines of Roberts Manhattan hospital room. As David gazes out at the piers and rooftops of Manhattan, we hear his deftly scripted diary entries in voiceover. And as David is changed by knowing Robert, so, too, are we. In the simplicity of the story and the elegance of its unfolding, Buddies achieves a rare perfection, becoming a timeless portrayal of an entire era in gay history.

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 maria@nwfilmforum.org
