Years before the Beats arrived in San Francisco, the city exploded with artistic expressionspainting,theatre, film,andpoetry. At its center was the groundbreaking filmmaker and poet James Broughton.Big Joy explores Broughtons passionate embrace of a life of pansexual transcendence and afiercely independent mantra: follow your own weird.His remarkable story spans the post-war SanFrancisco Renaissance, his influence on the Beat generation, escape to Europe during the McCarthyyears, a lifetime of acclaim for his joyous experimental films and poetry celebrating the human body,finding hissoul mateat age 61, and finally, his ascendancy as a revered bard of sexual liberation. |

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 Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
