The Backroom Series of art talk over dinner is one of Portland's premier art networks. Stephanie Snyder Reed curator and more cohelms it with Mathew Stadler who is on a writing retreat in Mexico. Both are themselves network builders as well. So it is natural that the Back Room is collaborating with the Cinema Project this evening. Previous Backroom events have had a focus on tasty food harking to their Ripe family dinner roots. This one is BYO dinner, with an admission price to match the Cinema Project side of the evening, great value.
The Cinema project shows films (actual film films) In Between by
Stan Brakhage (!!), Visions of a City by Larry Jordan, The Man Who Invented Gold by Christopher Maclaine, The 40 and 1 Nights (or Jess' Didactic Nickelodeon) by Larry Jordan and Beat by Christopher Maclaine, Senseless by Ron Rice and Aleph by Wallace Berman. All the films have a relation to the current Reed show. Musical accompaniment by the Evolutionary Jass Band.
