CINEMA FESTIVAL

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF FILM: NORTHWEST FILM FORUM IS 20 YEARS YOUNG IN 2015, AND WE HAVE A YEAR OF CELEBRATION AHEAD.

FROM OUR START AS A SMALL PRODUCTION COLLECTIVE, WE’VE GROWN INTO SEATTLE’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE FILM ARTS CENTER. CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY YEAR STARTING THIS DECEMBER, WITH A LOOK BACK AT CINEMA CLASSICS, EXPERTS FROM FILM FORUM HISTORY LEADING OUR CLASSES, THE 10TH BIRTHDAY OF OUR ANNUAL FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL AND A CHANCE TO LAUNCH THE NEXT 20 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT FILM IN SEATTLE AT OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY ON DEC 12.

#@20 YEARS

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

This winter, new films by two cinematic lions will premiere at the Film Forum: Frederick Wiseman’s National Gallery, a three-hour immersion in the London art institution, arrives in December, while Jean-Luc Godard’s 3-D film, Goodbye to Language, winner of critical accolades and the Jury Prize at Cannes, comes on January 12. In a kind of Godardian flourish we will present the film along with Seattle Art Museum and Cinerama, as a special event on a single night.

W IN TER

Both masters have had their work screened at the Film Forum over our history, which, with this calendar, amazingly, rounds to 20 years. In two decades, film has evolved dizzyingly as an art and a practice; in 1995, filmmaking was still about film, and practices were not far from those of the 1960s. Godard, it’s true, began using video in the 1970s, but that was the departure of a true radical. When we opened our doors in 1995 we kept film in a fridge, for filmmakers. Either of our two lions would have been able to make work as visiting filmmakers, on one of our commissions of work.

By the time I came on board, in 2008, we were showing a dizzying spectrum of moving picture stories, from classic 35mm and 16mm to work that sometimes came to us on thumb drives. In our two decades, we have watched filmmaking evolve from a “fine art” to a “humanity” at some of our top universities. But film also belongs, more than ever, to the people: legitimate movies can be made now (they have been) with pocket cameras, with the cameras on smart phones.

So what if you still love film, love its living, biochemical properties, its reds and blacks and autumn leaves, its smell? Hope that it will return one day, like vinyl? It could: film’s capacity for holding visions is infinite, and, as National Gallery invites you to see, the infinite belongs in the hands of the everyday and the living: us. And as for Northwest Film Forum, we will support the making of films and filmmaking, for as long as it is with us, even as we also screen, teach and support the making of great new stories on any medium, in any format, on any data streaming from any Cloud.

CINEMA/HIGHLIGHTS

6OTH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING! December 4

SEVEN SAMURAI

16MM PRINT! Skype intro by author Richard D. Pepperman! Sponsored by the Seattle Film Institute! Akira Kurosawa, 1954, Japan, 16mm, 207 min One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven Samurai tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy, entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action into a rich, evocative and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

1OTH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! January 22 - Feabruary 7

nwfilmforum.org / 206.329.2629

1OOTH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING—TO THE DAY! December 7

IN THE LAND OF THE HEAD HUNTERS

Edward S. Curtis, 1914, United States/Canada, 65 min In 1911, famed Northwest photographer Edward S. Curtis travelled to Vancouver Island to visit the Kwakwaka'wakw, and decided to make one of the first motion pictures while documenting their way of life. It look three years of preparation for Head Hunters to come to life on a grand scale, including the weaving of the costumes; building of the war canoes, housefronts, poles; and the carving of masks, all for the silver screen.

Don your party hat and get ready to pin the filmstrip on the projector at our blowout 10th birthday party edition of Children's Film Festival Seattle!

2OTH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING! December 19 –21 New digital restoration!

HOOP DREAMS

Steve James, 1994, United States, DCP, 170 min Roger Ebert said it best: Hoop Dreams’ depiction of two high school ball players trying to make it in the prejudiced cauldron of Chicago in the ‘90s is “the great American documentary” (the Oscars snubbed it entirely). Steve James’ vision of the pipeline of poor, black basketball talent brings to mind the Windy City from Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. In high school, black athletes are still cheap enough to treat like penny stocks, and we watch as two of them brave the ringer of all-white private schools, poverty and the constant risk of injury for a shot at a scholarship.

This one-of-a kind celluloid ride around the globe, is the largest international festival of its kind on the West Coast—a celebration of family films that are inspiring, magical, and definitely not available on Netflix. Come see how we've grown since we got our start in 2005! This year, we'll show you more than 175 films from all over the world, plus a mind-blowing mélange of live performances, animation, features, shorts, meetand-greets with filmakers and hands-on workshops, all crafted with care to appeal to the next generation of cinematic globe-trotters. Full schedule available online December 5.

MAKE YOUR OWN DSLR LENS with Dave Hanagan

A HISTORY OF EXPLOITATION CINEMA with David Church DECEMBER 2 - JANUARY 20 Tuesdays, 6:30pm–8:30pm *no class Dec 23 & 30 TUITION $150 / $125 NWFF Member

Exploitation films emerged across the 20th century as an outlet for issues and imagery that more mainstream films would not address. Today, these films are often seen as campy or outrageous schlock, but this film history course illustrates their place as important documents of the social anxieties of their time. Film topics include 1930-40’s sex-hygiene films, 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll teen pics, 1960’s sexploitation, 1970’s blaxploitation, 1970’s vigilante films, and 1980’s slasher films.

JANUARY 18 Sunday, 11am–3pm TUITION $85 / $70 NWFF Member

PART-TIME PRODUCING with Michael Seiwerath

JANUARY 21 WEDNESDAY, 6:30pm-9:30pm TUITION $60 / $45 NWFF Member

In this workshop, seasoned producer Michael Seiwerath (Police Beat, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle, My Last Year with the Nuns) will talk through his experience on feature films, from the creative inception and fundraising to the premiere at Sundance and other International Film Festivals. Expect war stories and advice on balancing film producing with other gainful employment.

Bored with your run-of-the-mill high definition video? Liven up your filming with handmade lenses! In this class, students will use DIY methods to create their own lens from easily available and affordable materials. The lenses we create will not have the sharp focusing properties that commercial manufacturers aspire to; rather, we’ll make creative use of different lens deficiencies to create images that suggest antique portraits or dreamy, other-worldly effects.

DRUMROLL PLEASE… As we count down to 2015, and our 20th Anniversary!

IN THE YEAR TO COME, please join us in looking back over the last two decades, and—if you’ll pardon the pun—projecting into the future. As a not-forprofit, membership-based organization, when we look back we see the impact that our supporters have had, we see the growth in our membership as it parallels the growth of our regional filmmaking community and we see the demand for programs geared toward a steadily younger filmmaker.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR ANNUAL FUND IS IMMENSELY APPRECIATED, and during the coming year of increased screenings, classes and events in celebration of our first two decades, your support will have an even greater impact on the region’s filmmakers and film lovers of all ages.
