Ride Shotgun with Ansel
July 23 is Photographers Week at Monday Movie Night.
This week's schedule:
The Photographer (Willard Van Dyke, 1947, black & white, 25 min)
Edward Weston was one of the most influential photographers of our time. This film was made by his close friend Willard Van Dyke in 1948, ten years before his death.
Ansel Adams, Photographer (Larry Dawson, 1958, black & white, 20 min)
Get up close and personal with Ansel Adams as he works the magic. In this rare film you join him as he sets out for a shoot in his station wagon.
Developing the Negative (US Army)
Learn a valuable skill that doesn't involve violence from our own US Army in this instructional gem.
Don't forget, next Monday, July 30, Monday Movies will present Soundies of the 1940's. Many rare reels by black musicians in this one.
Spend a couple of hours under the stars as you view some of the finest documentary and educational films salvaged from the 20th century. The show begins at sunset, on the patio of Mississippi Station in North Portland. Local media historian and author Tom Robinson will introduce each 16mm print from his collection and play it on a vintage projector older than you are. See these original films the way they were meant to be seen, on a real projector, on a real screen, and drunk.
