Just for Kids? Memory and Emotion in Animated Films | 9PM in the Planetarium
with Robert Ribera, PhD, Instructor of Film Studies at PSU | When we think back on childhood, some of our earliest memories are of animated films. What is it about these images that makes them linger in our minds? How can anthropmorphized animals seep into our memories, defining our experiences of loss, isolation, joy, and morality? Animation has long been dismissed as simply for children, yet the medium has an unmatched ability to tap into our emotional lives, no matter our age. This lecture will examine the ways that animation provides us with a look at the details that make us human, and why these memories linger.

Design Week kicks off with the opening party. From the Design Portland website:
Luck is for sailors. For stock market traders. For those who don’t believe in themselves. Luck isn’t for designers.
Join us at the official DWP opening party to kick off a week of connection and inspiration at Jupiter Next, the new endeavor from Portland’s standby Jupiter Hotel. Take in installations curated by Kamp Grizzly, including collaborations with Craig Winslow, DOA (Department Of Art), Matchless, Neon Distributors, and Ways & Means, plus many more of your faves in town.
Grab a drink or two from Merit Badge, who will be slinging beer from Dirty Pretty, wine from Cooper’s Hall, and beautiful spirit pairings brought to you by Townshend’s Distillery + Q sodas. Drinks are for purchase, but we’ll have delicious free snacks from Garden Bar and Ellenos Greek Real Yogurt. Not feeling the healthy vibes? Ash Wood Fired Pizza will be parked on the premises in case you need cheese + carbs.
Luck be damned, we’re feeling pretty fortuitous that you’re in our community, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
