Live at the Film Forum

Live at the Film Forum

Cinema is a collaborative art form that combines writing, theater, performance and visual art in the creation of something unique. The final edit of a film may be fixed, but cinema has a long history of integrating live performance, from the earliest Magic Lantern lectures and live scores that accompanied silent films to avant-garde performers today.
 
Northwest Film Forum is proud to launch LIVE AT THE FILM FORUM, a showcase of dynamic new work that expands cinema beyond the limits of the screen. The inaugural season brings together dozens of Northwest artists who wield paintbrush, chisel, musical instrument and camera to make innovative works of art. These projects bridge disciplines, connect artists with audiences and integrate the temporary with the lasting qualities of film. Enjoy performances and projections that engage the senses to create ephemeral and exceptional living cinema.
 

Individual tickets:$15 / $12 for NWFF members

too

Mar 25 - Mar 27

"too" is an ecstatic interplay of live and recorded movement by dancers Amy O’Neal and Ellie Sandstrom. The duo interacts with strangers, friends, acquaintances and family in dance of physical extremes. Drawing inspiration from the rural/urban divide, karaoke, and Japanese love hotels, "too" ruminates on the increasing challenges of human contact in a fractured and complex technological age.

Condomillenium

May 13 - May 15

Join us for a performance spectacle written and directed by Marya Sea Kaminski. Inspired by the transformation of Seattle’s Pike-Pine corridor and developed from interviews with politicians, activists, developers, children, comedians, and construction workers, this event brings performance, video, live music and absurd fantasy together to paint a picture of our evolving urban landscape and the places we call home.
