Former Film Center lead faculty member and now Pacific University assistant professor Enie Vaisburd has helped many Portland filmmakers find their voices as artists. Tonight, she'll share her own films and talk about the work that has inspired her.
Included in the program are her new film, WALK (2011), an experimental documentary exploring themes of fear and wonder through the eyes of children, the Hebrew language, and ancient Jewish texts; AGUA (2004), which layers footage of the sea with text from escape legend Harry Houdini to take a look at our most precious resource and its ability to both preserve and endanger life; and UNWINDING THE THREAD (1996), which interlaces transitory images from a journey by train through the lush Brazilian countryside and telephone conversations between a mother and daughter. (90 mins.)
