Peering through a purple chain-link fence, a voyeuristic camera reveals a dancer at play. Confined by a fence, bordering a picnic table that surrounds a tree encased in concrete crosshatches, the dancer explores how this architecture impacts her movement.
BEACON iLL
"It gets ill on the hill sometimes," raps local South End artist Rell Be Free in this gritty yet stylish musical tour of Beacon Hill.
FORever FeroshUS
As he reconciles with his murder, the soul of a black, feminine gay man is transported to a room where his life, death and dying are all happening now. The story is a homage to the life and death of O'Shea Sibley, a queer Black man who was brutally murdered in NYC for voguing in public.

Showcasing the multifaceted talents of Pacific Northwest performers, these energizing shorts use dance and music to break down barriers. Tango, hip-hop, contemporary, and Ballroom dancers inspire viewers to rethink gender norms and the role of the body in public space. Featuring the world premiere of FORever FeroshUS, the culmination of Northwest Film Forum’s 2024 ACTION! Narrative Apprenticeship Program! This year’s film pays tribute to O'Shae Sibley, a Black dancer killed in a homophobic hate crime.



Watch this program in person at NWFF, Sep. 21 at 4pm. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes and Individual Tickets are available!

Searching for a more personal expression of tango, two veterans of stage tango jettison the high heels and rigid choreography that are the hallmarks of their nightly work. In a rejection of gender roles, they take turns leading and following, initiating and responding. Set to the music of contemporary Argentinian composer Diego Schissi, this portrait captures their ongoing search for a personal expression of tango that is indifferent to its marketability in the tango tourist industry.
