About the film:
King Lear in the Forest (KLIF) unravels the perceived and evolving identities of duoship G^2 as they traverse a metaphoric forest, generating a chimera of kinetically contemplative and visually enticing psychological territories. The work manifests both identity and post-identity, where the individual labels that are afforded or placed on either of them have the potential to become momentarily blurred with each other and the audience.
** Artist Beth Graczyk, of the artist duo G^2, will be in attendance. **
[G^2 (John Maria Gutierrez & Beth Graczyk), US, 2021, 66 min]
In May 2021, G^2 had a 2-week residency at The Center at West Park in NYC where they built a site-specific version of their on-going work King Lear in the Forest Part I & II. They worked with celebrated lighting designer Sarah Lurie, and three 12-foot original drawings created by visual artist Cristina De Miguel. The film, shot by Daniel Hess and edited by G^2, is the result of their 2-week exploration at The Center at West Park.

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
