About
Legendary producer, author and gifted raconteur Joe Boyd has created a unique event: a narrated journey through the worlds music. Based on his new book, And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, he has assembled rarely-if-ever-seen clips showing Kate Bush with Bulgarias Trio Bulgarka, Taj Mahal with kora great Toumani Diabaté, Ravi Shankar with George Harrison, Paul Simon with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ivo Papasov, Django Reinhardt, Carmen Miranda, Dizzy Gillespie and many more. Boyd shows how personalities, events and politics in places such as Havana, Lagos, Budapest, Kingston and Rio were as colourful and momentous as anything that took place in New Orleans, Harlem, Laurel Canyon or Liverpool. And moreover, how jazz, rhythm & blues and rock & roll would never have happened if it werent for the melodies and rhythms emanating from over the horizon.

Accessibilité
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 rajah@nwfilmforum.org
