Oh whoa
can show you is Kramer holding the Simon Of The Desert DVD we got a
few weeks ago. I haven't seen it but I just watched the other Luis
Bunuel DVD criterion just dropped, The Exterminating Angel, and if
it's anything like that one it's probably really good and surreal.

Jon Raymond - Livibility
We have this book of short stories now. The films 'Old Joy' and 'Wendy and Lucy' were based on stories from this book (Jon wrote the scripts too). Also features a Chris Johanson cover. Much Portlandness going on.
“These stories stick with me and rival my own memories of inertia, isolation and wild invention in the Pacific Northwest. And like real life, they head in one direction but always end up in another. Jon Raymond has an impressive ability to recognize the tales that we all tell ourselves, and then quietly lead us back to reality—excruciatingly familiar and usually rainy.”

Mike Mills Night this Sunday!
Once a month The Cinefamily will host "Family Sundays", where we will bring in people we admire and respect--artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, comedians, or generally inspiring folk--to curate and introduce a night of films. First, they'll show lesser-seen short films that they've made, or that have been made about them--or that they just like. Afterwards, they'll show a feature that has personally influenced them, and finally they'll explain it all and take your questions too.
Kicking off the series is artist/designer/filmaker Mike Mills, whose work you probably know if you ever been in the store. He's directed music videos for Sonic Youth, Yoko Ono, Beastie Boys, Blonde Redhead and Ol' Dirty Bastard, as well as the film Thumbsucker, and the documentaries Does Your Soul Have a Cold? and Deformer (about Ed Templeton). Medium is less important to Mills' work than an encompassing vision that permeates all his diverse projects. Whether it's a television commercial, a watercolor painting, or a fabric design, everything Mills concocts is suffused by his current emotional and spiritual disposition. He has chosen to show and share his thoughts about Istvan Szabo's Lovefilm, a lesser-known 1970 masterpiece from the Czech New Wave.
Tickets are $12, and the show starts at 8pm.
We have an amazing roster of people planned for future Family Sundays, so stay tuned....

Will Sweeney's Overgrown flier
Here's the flier for Will Sweeney's show at Hope! So amped! It will also be a limited two-color silkscreened poster available at the show.
Overgrown will offer a comprehensive cross section of Sweeney's work: a series of new drawings in pencil and ink, a large intricate collaborative piece with Susumu Mukai, several brand new prints, samples of Sweeney's illustration work, and a selection of original pages from the latest issue of Sweeney's ongoing comics series, Tales From Greenfuzz. We'll also have brand new Alakazam shirts, rare Zongamin records, and the brand new toy, SU2CV (w/ Frite Gunner Kommandant).
Sadly, this also means it's the last weekend of Aaron Rose's show. If you haven't been over yet, it comes highly recommended by critics throughout Echo Park.

Here's the film in its entirety:
