Christine O. Gregoire Governor

Mayor’s Welcome Port Townsend is thrilled to be your host for this special weeken d. Whether this is your first festival or your 11th, we are glad you are here. I am certain you are going to enjoy the festival’s energy and camara derie, as well as the unique films and talented filmmakers you meet here. Films have the power to change lives, as we experience differen t cultures and different worlds. Through the magic of cinema we can travel without ever leaving our hometown. Films can capture our imagination. In so many ways films are like no other art form. I feel so fortunate every year to be able to participate in the PTFF and enjoy the caliber of fi lms that are shown. Port Townsend is known as the City of Dreams, and we take pride in our incomparable natural setting, maritime heritage, lively arts and music scene, and historic neighborhoods. I hope you take some time to get to know our wonderful city. Walk around. Shop. Eat. Talk film and enjoy the little moments as well as the spectacular events. The PTFF volunteers work hard to bring us a world class, Port Townsend-style event. I hope this is a memorable weekend for you. Thank you for coming.

Welcome to the 2nd decade of the PTFF! Every September for the past eleven years, we delight in the conversation that takes place standing in lines, sitting on straw bales and sharing a glass of wine. As we pour over the menu of this year’s film feast we are brought together as an artistic community. Whether we come from Quebec or Quilcene- Portugal or Port Angeles, when we wear our PTFF passes proudly on our chests, we are all locals. If there is a “theme” to our 2010 festival, it would be- passion and diversity. Gazing at the racks of films we are honored to share with all of you, those are the common threads. They are woven thru the joy of music, extreme sports, nostalgia & heartbreak. Is the thirst for clean water and the sorrow of loss related to the triumph of love? Our films answer with a resounding “YES!” Thru the eyes of a young couple in Sweden and weeping students in Detroit, we see our world, bringing each of us a more miraculous and diverse life. Our festival honors the generosity of spirit that leads filmmakers to pickup their cameras, max their credit cards and head into Death Valley, Algeria and their own back yards carried by their own unique desire to tell a story. Watch for their black and white festival passes and take a minute to thank them. Without their passion and diversity, ours would be an empty screen. Welcome to the movies,

Janette Force, Executive Director

what’s new AWARDS GALA CELEBRATION: Destined to Become a Tradition

ALL red, blue and green passholders (page 6) are invited to our Gala Awards Celebration at the American Legion on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 9:30 pm. Hosted by Robert Horton, bon vivant and film critic from the Everett Herald and KUOW, this event will award the filmmakers with the recognition and acknowledgement they so deserve. We will screen clips from the films nominated for Best Narrative Feature and Best Documentary Feature and the winning filmmakers will be presented with their awards. Recognition will also be given to the winners for Best Documentary Short and Best Narrative Short. Our Special Guest, Miss Dyan Cannon, will make an appearance as well. Enjoy music with the Bruce Cowan Quintet, dance and consume elegant snacks served by our legendary Penguins (tuxedos and evening gowns make every thing better) with a no-host bar. Please join us for this celebration of our filmmakers’ achievements. It will be a grand party! THE PETER SIMPSON FREE CINEMA This year our FREE public theatre has moved to the American Legion. With a superior projector and screen, this new viewing opportunity brings more quality films to the whole community and a more comfortable viewing experience. The venue will screen narrative and documentary features as well as short narrative and short documentary films. With the Reviewers’ Choice collection of films (pages 36, 37) we hope to whet the appetites of future film festival pass holders and share the wealth of film art with our community. Named for the passionate film lover and long-time executive director of the festival, the Peter Simpson Free Cinema marks a deepening of our commitment to education and public outreach and satisfies the mission of PTFF – to bring a wider audience to independent ﬁlm. Thanks to Bruce Hattendorf of Peninsula College, PTFF wishes to encourage attendance at this FREE location. Public and private schools in Quilcene, Port Townsend, Chimacum and Port Angeles were provided with

film notes and ideas for writing projects. Students can attend the festival, informed and curious about this art medium and the filmmakers. WHAT’S THAT LITTLE THING? PTFF enters the 21st century. Throughout the program you will notice a small black and white square of random shapes near a film description. That little square shape is a QR (Quick Response) barcode link to a trailer or video clip of the film you’re reading about. How cool is that? To see the trailer or video clip, you will need an application. First, make sure that your cell phone has Internet access and a camera. How to download an application for your smartphone • Download the software at get.beetagg. com. • Follow the instructions to download and install the QR barcode reader straight to your cell phone. How to access info • Take a photo of the QR code. Tip: Be sure all four corners are in the view finder and that your phone is parallel to the QR barcode. • Click “Use Photo” and wait a few seconds while it accesses the info you requested. You will also notice QR links around town. Enjoy this enhanced guide to the PTFF and the City of Port Townsend. Special thanks to Jack Olmsted for introducing this wonderful visual concept to our festival. YOUR TICKET IS YOUR BALLOT Audience Favorite – Vote for the best film that you see! In the spirit of simplifying, your ticket and your ballot are all one piece this year. Your ticket will have the name of the film and the screening at one end. This end will be torn off and used to count how many folks attended a screening. The rest of the ticket will also have that info, along with numbers along both edges. This is your simple TEARING ballot. Each side is marked with the name of the film and the name of the short. Simply tear between 1 through 5 (1 means “not my cup of tea,” 5 means “fabulous’’). There will not be additional ballots available at the door, so hang on to your ticket stub

– nothing is going to waste! Tabulations will be made on Monday and Tuesday, and an announcement will be made on Wed., Sept. 29. Calculations include adjustments for venue size, times of screening, etc. This is a great way to send a love letter to a filmmaker - VOTE! CAMERA OBSCURA The Camera Obscura (Latin: dark chamber) will be a jewel of our Taylor Street frivolity. Look for a large, tent-like structure at the end of Taylor by Water Street. There, a moving image of the intersection of Water and Taylor will be projected onto the back wall of the structure, with people in the foreground and buildings and the water in the background. It will be quite a sight to see. You must enter the tent to see this marvel.

HOW TO SEE THE FILM OF YOUR CHOICE This year we have transformed our lines into a simple, clean process that just might make your celebration of independent film and

filmmakers even better. We have completely refigured lines and entry to each of the venues. There is just one line now. A ticket in your hand means you have a guaranteed seat. At each venue, numbered tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis 60 minutes before show time. The ticket distributor will pass out only as many as he or she has seats available. You will never be given a ticket for a movie that is sold out. Once you have your ticket, you may leave the line. It is best to be back at least 20 minutes before the show starts so that you can find your numbered place in line. That is also the time that the line starts to move into the theatre. If you have a ticket and the line has started to move when you return to the venue, you are still guaranteed a seat. If you can’t find your numbered place, you simply join the back of the line. Directors and Moguls find the concierge representative, who will get you into the theatre right away. If you show up after the 20-minute mark with any kind of pass and you don’t have a ticket or you are a director or mogul pass-holder who has not checked in with the concierge representative, go immediately to the Venue Theatre Usher. If the house is sold out, there will be time to get to a different venue and still get a seat for another great film. OUR PTFF WIZARDS Every passholder line has one or two film wizards who are there to answer all of your festival questions. They are members of the Festival Board of Directors. VENUES The Uptown Theatre (Lawrence & Polk, 315 seats, limited): We are happy to be back at the Uptown Theatre for our third year. Concessions are available inside the theatre. Pope Marine Park Theatre (Madison & Water, 70 seats ): The Pope Marine Theatre is located on Water Street. The access route to our theatre will be from Water Street and will be marked for you. Peter Simpson Free Cinema (Water & Monroe at the American Legion, 50 seats ): Our free indoor movie venue has been renamed in honor and memory of Peter Simpson, founder and executive director of the PT Film Festival. Access to the theatre is on Water Street. Rose Theatre and Rosebud Theatre (235 Taylor St., 77 seats & 150 seats ): The Rose and Rosebud Theatres have always supported the PT Film Festival. Concessions are available inside the theatre.

how to fest Taylor Street Outdoor Cinema (Taylor, seating unlimited ): Free to the public, our wonderful outdoor theatre is located under the stars Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights of the festival. Festivities start at 6:45pm Some straw bales are available, but it’s best to bring seating and blankets. Upstage Restaurant and Theatre (923 Washington & Tyler, 125 seats, limited ): For those who love to talk about movies as much as watch them, this is an opportunity for discussions with filmmakers and other festival attendees. As a special event, San Francisco’s famed West Coast Live! weekly radio program will be broadcast from the Upstage on Saturday morning. MOVIE VENUE PROTOCOLS Turn off all cell phones, pagers & beepers during all programs. Recording devices of any kind are prohibited. Seat-saving is strongly discouraged.

We have staggered the film start times to help you see as many films as possible. Out of kindness to the people who sit on the straw bales, NO DOGS on Taylor Street please. LIBATIONS As homage to the early days of film, the duly named Magic Lantern Wine and Beer Garden on Taylor Street will feature refreshing beverages from Port Townsend Brewery, Dry Soda and the Wine Seller.

Festival Special events

A Very Special Evening wit h Dyan Cannon Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice

Interview

Saturday, 6:00pm, Uptown Theatre

What is your current state of mind? I am a blessed woman.

Director: Paul Mazursky

Dyan Cannon stars as Alice in this 1969 satirical comedy about what happens when the sexual revolution hits affluent bourgeois life. As a relatively fresh face in Hollywood, Ms. Cannon gave a breakout performance and garnered the bulk of industry praise for her role. She received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, as well as two Golden Globe nominations: one for Best Actress in a motion picture musical or comedy and the other for New Star of the Year, Actress. Too old to be hippies and too young to be fogies, these would-be California swingers sincerely attempt to try on the lifestyle, but it never looks quite right. Audiences, at the time, turned “Bob & Carol” into a substantial hit, and its observations about marriage and sex remain humorously sharp. The original music score was composed by Quincy Jones. The original soundtrack album contained the Burt Bacharach classic “What the World Needs Now Is Love”. National Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Screenplay New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress: Dyan Cannon USA/1969/104 min

The film will be followed by an interview of Dyan Cannon by Robert Horton, PTFF regular, author and film critic for KUOW in Seattle and the Herald of Everett.

What is your greatest extravagance? High heels. Will you be bringing some good ones with you to Port Townsend? Oh yes!

Who are your favorite writers? Dickens and Mary Baker Eddy. Who are your real life heroes/heroines? My dad and my mom.

What is your greatest fear? I try not to allow fear to take over my thinking because it can come in so many guises, like the oil spill or the kids in Afghanistan. I try to kick it in its butt and send it on its way.

I AM with Director Tom Shadyac Friday, 6:30pm, Uptown Theatre Saturday, 12:15pm, Rose Theatre

THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

Directors: Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith Saturday, 12:30pm, Uptown Theatre

Following his sell-out premiere at Telluride Mountain Festival in March, 2010, PTFF is honored to host the documentary film, I AM. Tom Shadyac has built his reputation with hilarious tales of our time, sometimes challenging the sensibility with titles like Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. But like his characters, life conspired to introduce a deeper attention to what he has been experiencing. In the film, I AM, we meet a man who is struggling with his own perception of life and chooses to share that conversation around the globe. Tom invites us to join that conversation, both in the film and because of the film. The generosity of spirit and his humble descriptions of his journey allow each of us to consider our own role on the ‘stage of life.’ Please join the conversation on Friday, September 24th at 6:30 at the Uptown Theatre. Mr. Shadyac will be present, along with members of his crew for Q & A following the film, moderated by Robert Horton.

The Most Dangerous Man in America tells the inside story, for the first time on film, of what happened when a former Pentagon insider decided to challenge an imperial presidency that is answerable to neither Congress, nor the press, nor the people in order to help end the Vietnam War. In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg shook America to its foundations when he smuggled a top-secret Pentagon study to the New York Times. The study showed how five presidents consistently lied to the American people about the Vietnam War. It was Henry Kissinger, President Nixon’s national security advisor, who called Ellsberg “the most dangerous man in America.” Ellsberg faced 115 years in prison on espionage and conspiracy charges. Ensuing events surrounding the Pentagon Papers led directly to Watergate and the downfall of President Nixon and hastened the end of the Vietnam War.

The Bill Sackter Story Friday, Noon, Simpson Cinema

With Bob Rosen Saturday, 9:00am, Pope Marine In this day of big-budgeted, over-the-top, 3D, computer graphic, colossal summer blockbusters, there is nothing to compare with the production of Black Sunday, a 1977 film produced by Bob Rosen and directed by John Frankenheimer. It began with one of those “cocktail napkin” deals like a scene right out of the movies. Bob and a Paramount Films lawyer finalized an agreement to make a film based on the book Black Sunday by Thomas Harris. The problem: Bob had only 90 days to write a script, scout the locations (the Super Bowl, as one) and choose a cast. Black Sunday is about an Israeli counterterrorism operative who tries to stop a plot organized by an unbalanced Vietnam vet and a member of Black September, the Arab terrorist group that wishes to dramatize the Palestinian liberation cause. They plan to assassinate the president of the United States and to murder the entire Super Bowl stadium audience by flying a Goodyear Blimp into the capacity Orange Bowl crowd. With the use of clips from the film, Bob will reveal the back-story of how he managed to produce this film and live to tell the tale. His account of the process is funny, fantastic and frustrating. You won’t want to miss it. Bob Rosen is a Hollywood icon. He has produced or supervised over 50 films during his career. Some of these films include The Challenge, Prophecy, Little Big Man, The French Connection II and the critically acclaimed box office hit The Crow. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Bob began his career as a director for films and television where he worked on such memorable classics as Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel. He produced Gilligan’s Island and was executive producer of the pilot for Hawaii Five-O. 12 2010 Port Townsend Film Festival

A Community with Heart Includes Everyone The Port Townsend Film festival is honored to welcome Snap, our local support agency for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. Snap presents a remarkable documentary of courage, compassion and joy. A Friend Indeed: The Bill Sackter Story is an inspirational and engaging featurelength documentary about the real-life story of a nearly forgotten man. At the age of 6, Bill Sackter was abandoned by his family and became a ward of the state. He lived in a mental institution for 44 years and would never see his family again. After his release, he had a chance encounter in 1972 with a college student, Barry Morrow, who saw a spark of joy in Bill’s eyes. This encounter changed both of their lives forever. Over the years, Barry, his wife and many other caring people embraced and accepted Bill as a part of their extended families. With a harmonica, a warm cup of coffee and an incredible embrace of life, Bill grew from a neglected man into a national and international hero for people with intellectual disabilities. The movie introduces the real people behind the story and includes film, video footage and photographs of Bill, along with interviews with the people who knew him best. Bill Sackter’s life story was made famous by the award winning made-for-TV movie Bill (1981) starring Mickey Rooney (Bill Sackter) and Dennis Quaid (Barry Morrow). Jenell DeMatteo, executive director of

Snap, a United Way nonprofit agency of Clallam and Jefferson counties, has served the developmental disabilities community since 1998. It is a member of the Community Advocacy Coalition and offers programs to over 600 individuals and 150 families that include life skills and selfawareness, social inclusion and well-being, and family education and empowerment. Through their annual residential camp programs, weekly classes and monthly dances, Snap helps people with disabilities learn to advocate for themselves when possible, overcome depression, and maintain health, function, self-determination, independence and active engagement in their lives.

With host Sedge Thomson Saturday, 10am, Upstage Restaurant & Theatre West Coast Live! is back. This lively, entertaining and informative National Public Radio program will once again grace Port Townsend with its presence.

What makes this radio program so special is the likeable and ever-curious personality of Sedge Thomson, who definitely adds to the program’s appeal. Accompanying Sedge this year is Mike Greensill, pianist extraordinaire. Sedge and his droll, literate troupers seek cultural variety that is widely available in Port Townsend. The show broadcasts for two hours starting at

10am This year’s program will be held at the Upstage Restaurant and Theatre at 923 Washington St. in Port Townsend. You are urged to be at the Upstage at 9:30am when the doors open.

Interviews 50¢

Interviews come along all the time ... All you have to do is wait. – Alex Chadwick It’s such a simple idea … just ask people what

they think matters, and listen to what they have to say. Here’s how it works – a card table, a couple of chairs, a pair of microphones, and a sign that reads “Interviews – 50¢.” Long-time NPR journalist Alex Chadwick waits in public places where people can stop to talk. People get it immediately, though they often ask, “Do I pay you or do you pay me?” “Well,” Alex likes to say, “sit down and let’s see how it goes.” The stories he collects don’t often get into the mainstream media – personal tales about love gone wrong or right, a cross-country road trip with a corpse, a daughter weighing reconciliation with the father she dreads, a small chance encounter that saves a life. Surprise screenings of Classic Interviews 50¢ will be sprinkled throughout the festival. Watch for them and enjoy!

Stan Herd, a real-life crop artist, traveled from Kansas to the Upper West Side of New York City in 1994 to create a massive environmental artwork on a piece of multiacre land owned by Donald Trump. As a child growing up on a farm, Stan found a passion for art. Once he decided to blend art with land, he discovered a profound new medium: earthworks. Stan recruited a number of homeless individuals as his crew. In an effort to show his unique perspective (made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation) to a larger audience, he unexpectedly encounters the true meaning of his art and its ultimate, lasting rewards.

In Durbin, South Africa, Shaan Sahay, a young Indian man, seeks the approval of his father, who wishes that he would be as successful as his two brothers. His older brother is a lucrative real estate developer and his younger brother is the youngest partner of a law firm. Shaan wants to write the next great Hollywood action film. With the exception of his relationship with his mother, he drives himself farther and farther away from his family. He has a heart of gold and a love for children. Shaan secretly provides for a group of orphaned children who live in one of the poorest South African townships. And he struggles with the scary prospect that he might have found the love of his life. All along he tries to write, but gets nothing accomplished. He soon realizes that he must come to terms with the relationship he has with his father as his goal becomes clearer with a more distinct purpose.

Friday, 12:30pm, Uptown Theatre Sunday, 9:15am, Rose Theatre Art & Copy is a powerful film about advertising and inspiration. It reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. These artists and writers brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation. They were responsible for “Just Do It,” “I Love NY,” “Got Milk?” “Where’s the Beef?” and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.

ED HARDY: FOOTSTEPS Tattoo The World IN AFRICA

Director: Kathl von Koerber 7thart.com

Friday, 9pm, Rosebud Theatre Saturday, 3:30pm, Uptown Theatre

Friday, 3pm, Simpson Cinema

Directors: Mark Moormann and James Bigham markmoorman.com

Director Emiko Omori captures more than the art of this cult icon in the field of tattoo. She brings us into the unfolding exploration of artistic expression, that begins with his childhood art of tattooing the neighborhood kids (with watercolors) and into the multimedia he has explored since. You’ve seen his name on clothing worn by Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger, on wine and energy drinks and dozens of other commercial products. Ed Hardy has imagined tattooing as an expressive fine art medium by marrying western style with eastern sensibilities. He has applied new applications to this ancient medium.

Footsteps in Africa: A Nomadic Journey, plumbs the mystical depths of Tuareg culture and philosophy to offer a stunningly visceral depiction of the nomadic experience. Shot among tribal villages and desert festivals in Mali, the film is a stylized, shifting collage of evocative still images and vivid slices of Saharan life. Interviews with tribal elders are woven with dreamlike sequences of Tuareg dancing, drumming and chanting. Animated spirals twirl and fade between scenes, invoking an underlying realm of symbolic, cosmic truth. As Footsteps in Africa unfolds its stream-of-consciousness narrative, the intangible essence of the Tuareg comes magically into view. USA/2008/67 min.

Before 1960, Weequahic High School was known as one of the top schools in America. By 2000, it was one of the most violent schools in the 12th most dangerous city in the country. This awe-inspiring documentary is the true story of Weequahic High School’s quest to return to its former glory. When Ron Stone took over as principal in 2001, gangs ruled the school. Crime and shootings were commonplace. Stone knew his work was cut out for him. He created an unconventional conflict resolution program in order to work with the school’s gang members and established the school as a no-violence zone. He partnered with the committed alumni association – comprising mostly older Jewish and younger African-American alums – helped transform the gang culture of the school to one of discipline and performance.

Tom Shadyac is the director of blockbuster comedies such as Ace Ventura, The Nutty Professor and Bruce Almighty. In this film he presents an autobiographical documentary that addresses how, despite his professional achievements and financial success, he has felt unfulfilled. I AM is both an introspective journey about happiness and a larger commentary on the American Dream. It questions why we’re more prosperous today, yet apparently less happy than ever. Tom interviews many wise men and women who bolster his cogent argument: If we are able to question our culture of consumption and find a new paradigm of connectedness and kindness, we will be truly richer for it.

Through a celebration of culture and comedy, this film uproots the widely held misconception that Arabs have no sense of humor, when in fact they laugh, and are, just like us. This documentary features Egyptian-American comedian Ahmed Ahmed, in his directorial debut, along with a host of critically acclaimed international stand-up comedians. “Just Like Us” showcases the cultures of Dubai, Lebanon, Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While modern technology and globalization have made the world a much smaller place and caused us to be more interconnected as people, cultural misconceptions persist. Presented by Cross Cultural Entertainment and Cross Cultural Productions, this film exemplifies their goal of reintroducing socially relevant issues to the world in an effort to build cultural bridges.

At times funny, dark and somber Miss Sarajevo is a surreal and startling portrait of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War at the height of the siege that lasted from April 1992 until February 1996. Bill Carter’s camera follows determined locals trying to live as normal a life as possible despite living under a constant threat from mortar attacks and sniper fire. He captures artists performing in makeshift nightclubs, the local symphony rehearsing in the basement of a bombed out building, and he interviews children playing amid the wreckage of war. This film opens a window to a difficult time in European history while exploring the resilience of the human spirit during war.

This film explores the clean-cut, smiledrenched singing phenomenon Up With People and reveals what can happen when ideology, money and groupthink converge to co-opt youthful idealism. Since 1965, this peppy youth group has sung to 20 million people worldwide. Talent was required of its members, and common enthusiastic vision to change the world one squeaky-clean song at a time. Its cheery façade concealed the more complicated reality of an organization founded on conservative American ideals and cult-like utopian ideology. Up With People was born in response to the liberal counter-culture of the ’60s by the ultra-conservative religious sect, Moral ReArmament. USA/2009/82 min.

From busking on the streets of Auckland to headlining on the stages of London’s West End, the Topp Twins appeal is infectious. This film offers a revealing look into the lives of the world’s only comedic, country singing, dancing, and yodeling lesbian twin sisters – Jools and Lynda Topps of New Zealand. Their natural gift for humor has helped them cross from the fringes to the mainstream. Their fans range from hard-core political activists, to sheep farmers and “ladies who lunch.” This film features a series of special interviews with some of the Topp’s infamous comedy alter-egos. According to the Glasgow Herald, the twins are New Zealand’s “finest artistic export since lamb cutlets!” According to Variety, this is a documentary “that has you falling in love with two of the crazier people you’ve never met.” NEW ZEALAND/2009/84 min.

Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story, page 33

2,500 families existed when famed artist Alejandro Santiago left his pueblo in Oaxaca, Mexico, 32 years ago. When he returned to his village, Teococuilco was no longer the prosperous self-sufficient home of his childhood. For six difficult years, Alejandro, his family and assistants worked tirelessly to bring “2501 Migrantes” to life. Sculpted from local clay and painted with colors derived from the soil near his birthplace, these “lost souls” speak for those who return only on holidays, for those whose only presence is a Western Union money gram, and for those who will never return. This film is a haunting reminder of the problems and concerns of global migration. USA/2009/47 min. Sacramento International Film Festival, Outstanding Documentary

Filmed over nearly three years, “Waste Land” follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of “catadores,” self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters, as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage, reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives.

Poster Artist Terry Tennesen

“I draw pictures. It’s as simple as that,” says Terry Tennesen, animator, designer, illustrator and 2010 PTFF poster artist. And, yet, it’s not as simple as that. Terry received a bachelor of fine arts degree in fine arts/graphic design from Pacific Lutheran College and a master of fine arts degree in film/ animation from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. For 20 years Terry was the owner, designer, animator, director and producer of Tennesen Ani-Works, an animation design and production company primarily engaged with making over 200 commercials for both local and regional markets. His animated creations include “Monica and the Powerful Drug,” a 17-minute musical on alcohol awareness for gradeschool children and “The Big ‘A,’” 11 animated fables produced by KCTS 9 for a PBS series on art education for children. Terry was also animator for the character Sunny Day in “Backyard Basics – Football Tips from the Pros”

that was broadcast on Fox Sports Network and is now available on DVD. His awards consist of a Gold Max from the Spokane Advertising Federation, Commercial Division; Silver Telly from the National Competition of Regional TV Commercials, Commercial Division; Best of the Northwest from the Film and Video Seminar of the Northwest, Commercial Broadcast Division; and First Place from the Health Sciences Communication Association, Educational Division. Besides his work in animation, he has also engaged in architecture and scenic design.
