NWFF - Local Sightings-NW Film Center's Best of the 30th NW Film & Video Fest
The best shorts from Portland's annual regional film and video festival. 2003's judge was James Benning.
A Man and His Pants (Christopher Tenzis, 3.5min.) Dissecting a pratfall evolves into the editor's rollicking drum solo. Elmer Fudd goes dada.
49? (Sherman Alexie, Eric Frith, Holly Taylor, 2003, 6min.) A film about a forgotten Native American Music genre.
American Nutria (Matt McCormick, 10min.) Brought to America from Argentina as a farmable, fur-bearing replacement for the dwindling beaver population, nutria have adapted in the wild and are now causing economic and environmental havoc.
Fast Forward (Melisa McGregor, 9min.) Courtship, infidelity, deceit and redemption, all in less time than an episode of The Fifth Wheel.
Why the Anderson Children Didn't Come to Dinner (Jamie Travis, 16.5min.) Three seven-year-olds endure the culinary abuse of their ogreish mother.
Blender: Rotation Test 1-3 (Rob Tyler, 3min.) A surprisingly suspenseful journey into the turbulent world of frappe and puree.
Three (Nick Peterson, 12min.) A wordless, lyrical and touching portrait of a mother and daughter out on the town.
Transgenic Romance (Morgan Currie, 6min.) Deadpan yet absurd voiceover describes a love affair between a Rhesus monkey and a jellyfish, two species whose genes were successfully spliced together by scientists in 2002.
Wrong Message Phone Number (Bruce Alcock, 2min.) A rambunctious illustration of some cantankerous audio footage found in a phone machine.
Entry (Dayna & Gaelen Hanson, 5min.) With Seattle dance/theater company 33 Fainting Spells, a single phrase of movement occures within the narrow bounds of an overgrown sidewalk.
Meridian Days (Trevor Fife, 11.5min.) A gorgeously photographed, elegantly paced sepia tone pleasure cruise with the filmmaker and the grandmother he gently observes and whose language he threatens to understand.
