Two great Events in Portland this week!

The Films of Helen Hill
Monday Nov 3rd, 2008
Hollywood Theater, Portland OR
7 pm
As part of the Siren Nation festival here, there will be a screening of 10 short films by Helen Hill. Helen was a friend of mine who was killed in New orleans almost two years ago. Her films are scrappy beautiful things, truly DIY, warm, political and playful. Excellent stuff!
