November 18 The Northwest is Great

Filmmaker and artist Matt McCormick shows his film The Great Northwest tonight. In 1958, four Seattle women took a 3,200 mile road trip around the Northwest. They left behind a scrapbook of their trip which Matt found. He recreated their trip, making photographs and shooting video. Many things have changed in 50 years, but in some cases impressions and traces remain. It is a more human-centered version of the Rephotographic Survey Project, with the original 1958 material shown together with the current state of the land. At the NW Film and Video Center in the Whitsell Auditorium of the Portland Art Museum. 1219 SW Park 6PM $9
