The Inimatable Orland Nutt
Be prepared for a wild ride as NW Film Center takes us on a journey through the mind of local compositor & filmmaker Orland Nutt, long time Bent Image Lab collaborator. Orland will be showing a dense collection from over a decade of work, and premiering his latest work, Bear of Heaven.
Orland’s style is in a category of it’s own and he is undeniably one of Portland’s gems. This is a rare event and a night not to be missed. I can imagine it would be a daunting task to tease a 90 minute program devoted to his work, but here’s a trailer that offers up a glimpse nonetheless:

Among the older highlights are: Escalator Meditation, an early abstract work; video letter movies from his Dear Peter series, which intimately share his worldview; and selections from his visually ornate poetry series including I Am Into Your Fire (which draws inspiration from, among other things, a classic scene from the original Star Trek TV series), where odd characters perform poems in fantastical settings.
Orland will be on hand to introduce the films. Step out for this one!
