As Seattle’s movie theaters struggle, one kind of cinema bucks the trend Amid a national drop in moviegoing and more cinemas closing, some of Seattle's small indie theaters have found a way to lure people back to the movies.

Jill Busby Is the Northwest Film Forum’s New Executive Director. Jill Busby wants to restore the film nonprofit to the bustling cultural center it once was.

The change in leadership comes after what has been a challenging couple years for the organization. Though not alone in its struggles, NWFF laid off nearly of its staff a couple of years back. Now, Busby said she is planning to begin hiring more people back soon πŸ“½οΈ

I think just a really good example of Third Cinema in being a film that's used for advancing progressive causes instead of just being entertainment or art

It was shown clandestinely in underground clubs and organizations bc of the political climate -- film was split into sections (and if I remember correctly, even stopped mid-section) in order for representatives to update audiences on current events related to the film and to hold discussion!

Long before trans film worked with studios and bigger budgets, creators often shared their work through zines and DIY screenings: in basements, punk houses, and community centers. Films circulated by hand, projected on borrowed walls, and often lived alongside performance art and zine culture.
