Peripheral Produce experimental film BLOW OUT

and AUTO-CINEMATIC re-release party

featuring ‘made in Portland’ films and videos by Miranda July, Jon Raymond, Vanessa Renwick, Matt McCormick, and MANY MANY MORE!!!!!!!!

The Peripheral Produce AUTO-CINEMATIC Video Mix Tape, originally released on VHS tape in 1996 and out of print for many years, featured early work from Portland experimental filmmakers Miranda July, Vanessa Renwick, Jon Raymond, Matt McCormick and many others. Now re-mastered on DVD, Peripheral Produce is happy to announce the re-release of that title along with a screening event/release party at Portland’s Hollywood Theatre that will feature classic films from the DVD alongside a selection of new local experimental work.

From the mid 90s to the late 00s, Peripheral Produce was the corner stone of Portland’s experimental film community. Started by Matt McCormick in 1996, Peripheral Produce was a screening series, a video distribution label, and the force behind the PDX Film Festival. Local artists such as Miranda July, Vanessa Renwick, and Jon Raymond cut their teeth at Peripheral Produce while Portland audiences were treated to unique cinematic events that ranged from film-projector-performances to “communal View-Master experiences.”

The August 4th show will feature many of those seminal works, along with a selection of new works from Portland’s fast rising “next generation” of experimental filmmakers. Artists featured in the show include Miranda July, Vanessa Renwick, Jon Raymond, Stephen Slappe, Matt McCormick, Orland Nutt, Ashby Lee Collinson, Karl Lind, and much much more.
