TO SCREEN AT PORTLAND FESTIVAL OF CINEMA, ANIMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology (PFCAT) — which is scheduled for August 21-25, 2024, at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry — “embraces cutting-edge technology and its role in modern filmmaking” and searches for “amazing new films and animated works and the visionary voices behind them.”
▫️
Among the 100+ films screening at the event, you’ll find DRAGONFLY — an animated short written and directed by Julia Morizawa.
▫️
Inspired by the lives of Julia’s maternal grandparents, and the stories her mom shared about growing up on the family farm in Japan, this unique work examines the devastating impact of the Tokyo Firebombing of March 9-10, 1945, and addresses “the generational trauma of war, the power of family, and finding the strength to rise from the ashes.”
