I’m not sure what kind of DVD this is. Maybe some documentary about a wolf/dolphin hybrid?

Paul Sinor
Friday, October 27th - 7:00 p.m.
The Clear Channel Building
351 Elliott Av. West, Seattle, on the Waterfront
Free parking one block away at the parking lot north of the Clear Channel Building.
Paul Sinor, this month’s speaker, could be introduced as “the local boy who made good” since Paul was a NWSG member. On Friday, October 27th, Paul will share what he has learned about making a living in the movie business as a screenwriter, writing instructor and producer liaison.
Admission to NWSG events is free for current NWSG members and only $5 for current members of Independent Feature Project, Northwest Film Forum, PNWA, 911 Media Arts, Women in Film, Indie Film Group, and students at any of the local film schools in the last year. Others are asked to contribute $10. A token, for such wisdom.
Open Screening is held the 2nd Monday of every month at 8:00 PM in the brand new screening room at 911 Media Arts Center, 402 9th Ave N, Seattle. Open Screening is an “open mike night” for video and digital media arts; an open forum for filmmakers and digital media artists- ranging from amateur to professional. Discussion follows each screening.
How it works: Bring your DVD or VHS, disc/tape. Make sure it’s cued, maximum ten minutes in length or less, first come-first screened. Cost to submit or attend: $2.00 donation.
In keeping with the theme of indie film news in the northwest, Northwest Film Forum lists that cult celebrity Crispin Glover will be coming to seattle in November.
November 3-8 at 8pm
CRISPIN GLOVER LIVE!
@ BROADWAY PERFORMANCE HALL
WHAT IS IT?
(Crispin Hellion Glover, USA, 2005, 35mm, 72 min.)
Sponsored by KEXP, Easy Street Records, Scarecrow Video and Linda’s Tavern
Northwest Film Forum is proud to present Crispin Hellion Glover’s (BACK TO THE FUTURE, WILLARD) long awaited WHAT IS IT? a unique, mythic, visionary film. It’s almost impossible to describe this labor of love. Glover spent nine years making an amazing piece of experimental cinema, acting as writer, director, producer, star and sole financier. If asked what the film is about, he would say, “It’s about the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home. He’s tormented by a hubristic, racist inner psyche.” Most of the cast have Down Syndrome, and the acts in which they engage will have you squirming in your seats. Glover leaves no taboo untouched in this whirlpool of wild and weird images that may recall of Bunuel’s L’AGE D’OR or Jodorowsky’s HOLY MOUNTAIN.
“It’s like Fellini on psychedelics.” -SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
Now doesn’t that just make you want to go watch the show?
Here is where you will find all the news and current events from Pardiman Productions, as well as anything we can find on the indie film world in the northwest that may be newsworthy.
You will also find the occasional rants and ramblings of a host of local non-celebrities.
