The 11-day Portland Panorama Festival will feature more than 120 local and international films. Here's the scoop on the events you need to keep on your radar April 9-19.

There’s a chance to see If I Go Will They Miss Me, which the fest’s executive director Stephanie Hough highlighted as “one of the few films that sold at Sundance this year—for a six figure deal.” The director, Walter Thompson-Hernández, is a University of Portland alumnus and will not only not only joins the fest for a post-film Q&A but also appears on a panel about adapting shorter works into features on April 12.

The fest’s Pavilion area will show VR and immersive works in an area of Zidell Yards called the Old Moody, hosting a 90-minute program of shorts that attendees can explore.

A screening of 2017’s James Beard: America’s First Foodie is supported by the nonprofit behind James Beard Public Market.

Come see the film at Panorama! Thank you Oregon Media Lab for presenting this film, and providing a special video message from the film team at the screening :)

Has anyone ever enjoyed having a body more than Barbara Hammer?

Our critic HR Smith poses that question in her review of Brydie O’Connor’s new documentary about the experimental filmmaker.

Smith continues, "What feels like an absolute luxury, though, is watching a film where a woman gets to make art, be h***y, age, and make mistakes on her own terms. Barbara Forever is an instant classic to be watched with all your current and future ex-girlfriends."

Your chance to see it comes via Portland Panorama Film Festival on Friday!
