Thu, 05/10/2012

For this special membership drive edition of The Film Show, animator Bill Plympton and Alexia Anastasio discuss their upcoming visit to Portland to kick off the Great Northwest Film Tour, coordinated by the Oregon Media Production Association and McMenamins.  Alexia is the director of the documentary Adventures in Plymptoons, which follows the very independent and often anarchic career of Bill Plympton, leading up to the recent mayoral proclamation of May 26 as Bill Plympton Day.

Also in the studio is David Weissman, co-founder of the Queer Documentary Film Festival, the only U.S. festival of its kind, now celebrating its sixth year at its new home the Kennedy School.

As part of KBOO's Spring Membership Drive, a limited number of VIP passes to see Adventures in Plymptoons, with Bill and Alexia in attendance, will be available as thank-you gifts for your $60 pledge of support.

You can join KBOO by clicking here or by calling (503) 232-8818 or toll-free (877) 500-KBOO.

Director Todd Haynes (Superstar: the Karen Carpenter Story, I'm Not There, Mildred Pearce) and animator Joanna Priestley have similarities beyond making their homes in Portland and spotlighting themes important to women.  Both filmmakers are big believers in collaboration, improvisation, and artistic reinvention.

Host S.W. Conser talks with Haynes and Priestley about their work and about upcoming events, including a screening of films created by homeless youth as part of Outside In's Guerrilla Theatre Youth Film Festival.

Note: Previous Film Show programs can be accessed at KBOO.fm/BehindtheScreen.

Extended audio of Todd Haynes' interview will be posted soon on KBOO's website.  Check back in at KBOO.fm/TheFilmShow.
