Good Works Film Festival

Welcome to Good Works Film Festival, a first-time event in Eugene (with a kick-off screening in Portland). We are presenting a series of acclaimed feature-length films with an array of social justice themes.

GWFF is not only about great films; what happens once the lights come on is equally important. The festival celebrates and encourages thoughtful discussion, community engagement and positive action, and will be providing a context, time and space for this to occur.

Numerous organizations and groups will participate, in the audience post-screening discussions with filmmakers, panels or roundtables, by providing resources and by networking and socializing at the festival Hub.

Gus Van Sant and James Franco to Screen “My Own Private River”

On September 25 Gus Van Sant and James Franco will be at the Hollywood Theater to screen their film “My Own Private River” which is a re-imagined look at Van Sant’s classic film ‘My Own Private Idaho”. After their collaboration on “Milk”, Gus shared with Franco the original dailies from the film and the two came up with the idea of re-cutting the film. For more details on the event go to the Hollywood Theater website.

The film recently was shown at the Toronto Film Festival and received largely positive reviews.

“Portlandia” wins an Emmy for Costumes

Today the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that Amanda Needham and Niki Dimitras from “Portlandia” won an Emmy for best Costumes in a Variety or Music Program. We picked up the story from Kristi Turnquist’s post today in the Oregonian. Amanda and Niki won the Emmy for their costume design on the episode titled “Farm” which I believe was the premiere episode of the first season (you know the one with Colin the chicken). Congratulations to Amanda and Niki and the entire cast and crew of “Portlandia”.
