Mumble Without a Cause
Where: Northwest Film Forum
Date: 2007-09-07 00:00:00

This spring, Filmmaker Magazine ran an article grouping a number of films and filmmakers into a movement they dubbed "mumblecore." These no-budget films have made inroads thanks in part to Netflix, Greencine, and other online supporters, and many have appeared at Northwest Film Forum. They mostly concern the lives and loves of artistic twenty-somethings. These films share an aesthetic and attitude of the life and loves of artistic twenty-somethings. We've hosted a number of the best-known practioners at NWFF recently; Andrew Bujalski (MUTUAL APPRECIATION, FUNNY HA HA) and Todd Rahal (GUATAMALAN HANDSHAKE). Both also star in Joe Swanberg's HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS as does Mark Duplass (of PUFFY CHAIR fame). Swanberg himself stars in Aaron Katz's QUIET CITY, which screens with HANNAH and DANCEPARTY USA in this program. Trying to keep track of who's in what film isn't only dizzying but irrelevant. What is important is that these films are forgin a cross-pollination of talented writers, actors, and directors, and creating a stir in the American film community. We're please to present a few of the most noteworthy recent additionss to this genre. NWFF will offer a Film Saloon discussion about "mumblecore" in which Katz, Duplass and local filmmaker Lynn Shelton will discuss the so-called movement and its role in the future of American independent cinema.
Invisible Children Film

FREE All Ages In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them-a story where children are the weapons and the victims. From suburban living rooms to Capitol Hill, with coverage on the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, the National Geographic Channel, and more--this film is infectious, and has inspired many to act. This wonderfully reckless documentary is fast-paced, with an MTV beat, and is truly unique. To see Africa through young eyes is humorous and heartbreaking, quick and informative--all in the same breath. See this film, you will be changed forever.
