A Body To Live In
A Body To Live In
Angelo Madsen, 2025, United States, 97 min, in English
A BODY TO LIVE IN offers an uncompromising look at the rise of BDSM performance art, body modification and the ‘modern primitives’ cultural movement through the agonies and ecstasies of transgressive artist Fakir Musafar and the communities that surrounded him. Blending rare archival footage with the voices of queer and artistic trailblazers, the film shows how pain, ritual, and transformation became tools of identity, survival, and self-expression. Weaving from early experiments and secret gatherings to the emergence of a global subculture shaped by the AIDS crisis and spiritual reinvention, director Angelo Madsen (NORTH BY CURRENT) reveals not just the story of one artist, but a collective history of bodies in revolt – asking what it truly means to live freely in one’s own skin.

THE FIRST LADY
We’re excited to partner with the Seattle Jewish Film Festival for this screening of The First Lady.
The film tells the story of Efrat Tilma, one of the first trans people in Israel. Growing up in the 1960s, Tilma endured violence, police persecution, and exile. Her journey took her from Paris to Morocco to Berlin before she ultimately returned home to a changed Israel and became the first transgender volunteer on the Israeli police force. Despite Netanyahu’s rise, Tilma will no longer run away and chooses to fight for necessary social change head-on.
Rather than make a historical documentary, directors Udi Nir and Sagi Bornstein breathe life into Tilma’s emotionally layered story, where the hero’s odyssey surges her forward into visibility and urgent activism in Israel and across the globe.

He Never Dies: The Films of Kalil Haddad (18+)
He Never Dies: The Films of Kalil Haddad (18+)
Kalil Haddad, 2020-2025, Canada, 70 min, in English
Northwest Film Forum is excited to present the Seattle debut of the work of Toronto-based filmmaker Kalil Haddad. HE NEVER DIES: THE FILMS OF KALIL HADDAD collects six of Haddad’s short films, each a display of his idiosyncratic and radical approach to the depiction and use of queer subjectivities in visual media. Seamlessly moving between narrative, documentary, and archival approaches to filmmaking, Haddad’s films interrogate notions of desire and exploitation across lines of sexuality, race, and class in order to uncover often hidden truths about how we use and abuse those that we see, but often do not know.

THE BUSINESS OF FANCYDANCING
Tasveer Film Center presents a new restoration of the Spokane-shot classic The Business of FANCYDANCING, followed by a Q&A with director Sherman Alexie.
Seymour Polatkin is a successful, gay Native American poet from Spokane whose carefully constructed life is disrupted when he returns to his childhood reservation for the funeral of a dear friend. As he reconnects with his past, he must confront unresolved relationships, identity, and the distance between where he came from and who he has become.
