Program curator and filmmaker Melody Owen will present this collection of experimental video from Portland, Oregon, which is a mix of animation, appropriation, and documentary. Selecting work that conveys a sense of the place and the people of Portland, Owen also worked with an overall theme of shifts in perception. One movie is about the last remaining elevator operators in the city, while another goes below ground to traverse the tunnels. Thanks to Park Doing for organizing this program, which includes work by former Cornell Cinema guest Matt McCormick. More at www.thistlepress.net/updates/dissecting.htm
