About:
It's Such a Beautiful Day
(Don Hertzfeldt, US, 2012, 62 min, in English)
Its Such a Beautiful Day has been hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the best animated films of all time.
Originally released as three short films over the course of six years, the picture was captured entirely in-camera on a 35mm rostrum animation stand. Built in the 1940s and used by Hertzfeldt on all of his animated films since 1999, it was one of the last surviving cameras of its kind still operating in the world, indispensable in creating the storys unique images and visual effects. Its Such a Beautiful Day painstakingly blended traditional hand-drawn animation and experimental optical effects with new digital hybrids, printed out one frame at time and placed under the camera.
The films signature split screen effects were achieved by photographing the animation through small holes that were positioned just beneath the camera lens. One area of the film frame would be individually photographed, the film was then rewound, another section of the frame would be exposed through a different hole, and the process repeated until all elements of a scene were composited together.

ME
(Don Hertzfeldt, US, 2024, 22 min, in English)
Don Hertzfeldts newest animated film ME is a 22-minute musical odyssey about trauma, technology, and the retreat of humanity into itself. IndieWire has described it as soul-shaking and a triumph. |

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!
