Tacoma Film Festival
There is only a week left to get your film submissions in for the Sixth Annual Tacoma Film Festival. Primarily sponsored by the non-profit art house Grand Cinema in the heart of Tacoma’s downtown theater district, the 2011 Tacoma Film Festival is striving to highlight and celebrate local Pacific Northwest filmmakers and their work. The festival also receives a number of international submissions from around the globe. After five enormously successful years, the film festival is looking forward to presenting dynamic and high-quality films to the Puget Sound Region this October. Keep an eye out for the Tacoma Film Festival poster design contest and the film festival sneak peak event this month. For questions about the festival or film submissions, contact Emily Alm at tacomafilmfestival@gmail.com
GRAHAM NASH CURATES TAKING AIM: UNFORGETTABLE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL PHOTOGRAPHS FOR EMP
Seattle Weekly
The singer/songwriter’s obviously best known for his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Sometimes Young. But followers of his solo work know that his interest in photography dates back at least to 1971, when he appeared clutching a camera on the cover of his solo record, Songs for Beginners. Nash selected all the shots for the show, which features like the likes of Elton John, Neil Young, and the Notorious B.I.G. The show includes some local shots from Tacoma (of Neko Case and Her Boyfriends), and Bremerton (Charles Peterson’s pic of the crowd at EndFest 1991, after the jump).
