Portland Dance Film Fest

Picks 1 Program
October 7th, 2022 at 7:00pm at the Whitsell Auditorium

Run Time: ~107 minutes
We begin this year's festival with a line-up of 13 films from Canada, the UK, Italy, France, and the US. Many of these films share perspectives on what we are facing, questioning, processing, and healing in our personal and collective bodies. Picks 1 begins on Portland's own 82nd Avenue and closes on a dusky cliffside with a poem. In between we are shown stories that explore whimsy, repression, human and land, unification, immigration, and coming of age. With almost half of these films as solos, we are reminded of the time of alone-ness we are both coming out of and continuing to be with. We share these stories with respect and a hope that they will remind our audience that to witness someone's story is an act of together-ness. Picks 1 runs 92 minutes with a 15 minute intermission.

Picks 2 Program
October 8th, 2022 at 7:00pm at the Whitsell Auditorium

***Contains Nudity*** Run Time: ~130 minutes
An immersive evening of luscious film and dance, Picks 2 shares 4 films that guide into deep spaces of psyche and story. Silver Veiled, On Mending, Mother Melancholia, and Elegy of Lost Things do not shy from pulling the audience in and under. Themes of nationalism, unbearable loss, ecofeminism , and grieving alone and together weave and tug.
