SUMMARY:WTO/99
DESCRIPTION:(Ian Bell\, 2025\, United States\, 100 min\, in English) \nFrom November 30th to December 3rd 1999\, tens of thousands of people occupied the streets of downtown Seattle to make known their concerns about the existence of the World Trade Organization and its impacts on the environment\, human rights\, and labor in the largest protests against economic globalization the US has ever seen. \nThe protests brought together people from divergent sections of society—anarchists\, environmentalists\, labor unions\, consumer protection advocates\, pro-democracy groups\, and even religious organizations. \nThese protestors gathered in direct action hoping to dissuade world leadership from continued support of the WTO and strived to focus the public’s attention to the kind of future the WTO would bring forth. \nBuilding from a thousand-hour archive\, which includes more than 400 hours of never-before-seen footage\, WTO/99 reanimates the ideological conflicts that drew thousands to the streets of Seattle in hopes for a better future. The film is an immersive visual artifact of a week that brought 40\,000 people together to warn of environmental collapse\, the vanishing middle class\, and what the full inclusion of China in the World Trade Organization would mean for our collective future. The protesters—seen as a rabble-rousing nuisance at the time\, yet appearing prophetic today—were met with extreme violence by a militarized police force\, an all-too-fitting way to usher in a new century; one that is now defined by US failure to address climate change and increasing state aggression.

SUMMARY:Outside In — Home Movies from Immigrant & Queer Communities
DESCRIPTION:Northwest Film Forum welcomes the Al Larvick Conservation Fund (ALCF) to present Outside In—Home Movies from Immigrant & Queer Communities\, a program from the national anniversary screening series In Another Light: Cinema of Memory\, marking the Fund’s 10th year supporting the preservation and public sharing of home movies and community recordings. \nThis program features work curated and edited by filmmaker\, activist\, and Al Larvick Fund grant recipient Jim Hubbard\, drawn from his extensive body of 8mm and 16mm films — many of which he shot and hand-processed while documenting and making films about LGBTQ+ life\, activism\, and community organizing. The program also includes two additional collections that Hubbard stewards: home movies from the González family\, relatives on his husband’s side\, recorded by earlier generations; and personal recordings by his long time friend Mario Perez\, a member of New York’s queer community. Hubbard serves as the custodian of his own media as well as the González and Perez film and video collections\, bringing these intertwined personal and community archives into public view. Together\, these interwoven personal and community archives demonstrate how intimate filmmaking becomes a living testimony of identity\, resilience\, cultural expression\, and political struggle — showing how everyday documentation expands public history from the inside out. \n“When I film demonstrations\, I look for individuals — to evoke the diversity of the crowd and the meaning of the event.”— Jim Hubbard \nThis program also includes home movie shorts digitized by Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound (MIPoPS) from participating institutions\, including the Seattle Municipal Archives.
