NO, NOT THE RAIN:
10/6 Jeff Guay (PDX) Recess Gallery
Jeff Guay is an under-unemployed citizen of Portland, Oregon, and a graduate of Portland State with an English degree. His most recent short films are investigations of environment – both physical and emotional – and man’s place, or lack thereof, in a world of mystery and compromise in civilization’s half-decline. Don’t Worry, it’s a New Century premiered in the 2009 Northwest Film and Video Festival, and toured around the western United States as part of their “Best of” series and also played at Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum. The Willamette Week called it “amusing” and Sasha Burchuk of PDX Pipeline says upon watching it, that “I just had to ask myself, what the fuck is going on here?”
Additional films to be screened include Principia, which had a warm reception at the 2010 ATA Film and Video Festival in San Francisco, Guay’s music video for Portland band Experimental Dental School (which has over 5,000 hits on vimeo) and a previously unscreened, secret premiere of a short whose name cannot be mentioned here…
