Filmmaker's Pack of Goodies

I was surprised when I went to see Old Joy that in addition to a free pass being a filmmaker in the festival means I get a goodie bag! Some one inch buttons and temporary tattoos from Pabst, plus a poster of the festival and a DVD from the Peripheral Produce library (No. 13 - Something Like Fire, short films by Deborah Stratman).

The most valuable part of the package though is the part is the free program. Wonderfully printed by Pinball Publishing (except I'm not loving the metallic paint on cardboard, it's a little hard to read), it's great to have a handheld overview of the entire festival with names and descriptions of everything that is happening. It's the perfect launching point for looking up more information about the films and people when I'm back at my computer:

Official site of Old Joy. Kelly Reichardt's IMDB page, and on Amazon.com. The book Old Joy on Amazon (and Jonathan Raymond's other book ). Emmanuel Levy's full review of Old Joy (an excerpt is in the program).

And we're tagging all the photos with pdxff06 on Flickr, so you can keep an eye on things during the festival.
