Cinema Pacific Launches Monthly Filmmaker Dialogues at the Bijou

Cinema Pacific is pleased to announce that on June 23, a monthly series called the Cinema Pacific Filmmaker Dialogues will launch at the Bijou theater in Eugene. 

The first  program will be the Sundance sensation If a Tree Falls, about the  environmental protests that culminated in Daniel McGowan's "ecoterrorist"  conviction in Eugene. The 6:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. showings will be followed by a live Skype discussion with director Marshall Curry, moderated by Cinema  Pacific director Richard Herskowitz.

Film Description: On December 7, 2005, federal agents conducted a nationwide sweep of radical environmentalists involved with the Earth Liberation Front. If a Tree Falls:  A Story of the Earth Liberation Front tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the Eugene-based ELF cell, by focusing on the transformation and radicalization of one of its members, Daniel McGowan. Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers thriller, the film interweaves a chronicle of McGowan facing life in prison, with a dramatic investigation of the events that led to his involvement with ELF.

Drawing from striking archival footage and intimate interviews with ELF members, and with the prosecutor and detective who were chasing them, If a Tree Falls explores the tumultuous period from 1995 until early 2001 when environmentalists were clashing with timber companies and law enforcement and the word "terrorism" had not yet been altered by 9/11.

If a Tree Falls premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and went on to win the Documentary Editing Award. It begins its regular run on June 24. Visit the Bijou film schedule online . Cinema Pacific members receive $2 off admission price.

Post Office to Eugene Museum

Eugene has a blighted downtown with many empty storefronts. Two of the most important art galleries in our tiny arts district have just gone under. The arts programs in the schools have been gutted. If we had a place for artist studios, exhibit spaces, and art classrooms we could establish an anchor site for the downtown, help improve the Eugene economy, preserve its historic heritage, and provide a permanent collection for its local artists of merit. 

The POEM organizing group blog outlines current process. The group is attempting to purchase ($1.2M) and renovate ($20M) the building for use as a community historic and art center/museum. Read more about acquiring the current Eugene downtown Post Office and making it a unique museum for regional art and history. Vist:
