January 12 Homeland Music Videos

Karl Lund has been producing a series of film and video showings: Odds and Ends. This one is of music videos made by and of Portlanders. It is reported that the inspiration for MTV was founder Bob Pittman's thesis that a sequence of seemingly unrelated images could form a poetic emotional field when coupled with pop music. 25 years later, the result is history. Music videos quickly became an experimental cinema genre and training ground for image makers with modest budgets and musicians unafraid of cinematic creative risk. Lund has pulled together local imagemakers including Autumn Andel, John Bacone, Chris Bennett, Uli Beutter, Kara Blake, Melanie Brown, Grace Carter, Allen Cordell, Ali Cotterill, Nate Goodman, Ron Gassaway, Gretchen Hogue, Whitey McConnaughey, Matt McCormick, Mike Mudd, Chioke Nassor, Tyrone Olsen, Ted Passon, Vanessa Renwick, Cat Tyc and Adam Long, and Rob Tyler.
