The Olympia Film Society is pleased to announce a number of special guests attending the 32nd Annual Olympia Film Festival, held at the historic Capitol Theater Friday, November 6, 2015 through Sunday, November 15, 2015.
Joining us opening night, and again on the evening of Tuesday, November 10, actor and filmmaker Crispin Glover will be screening two of his films, and performing his live show, “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show.” Mr. Glover is known for his scene-stealing turns in both cult classics and Hollywood blockbusters (Back to the Future, River’s Edge, Wild at Heart, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Charlie’s Angels), and his boundary-pushing work as a filmmaker, author and musician.
On Saturday, November 7, we welcome Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame member and radio personality, Marco Collins, and filmmaker Marq Evans for a Q&A, following the screening of Evans’ new documentary,The Glamour and the Squalor. The film chronicles Collins’ rise to prominence in the early 90’s as an influential tastemaker and breaker of artists such as, Beck, Weezer, The Foo Fighters, and Death Cab for Cutie.
Throughout festival we will be hosting an number of post-film Q&As –including those with local filmmakers, Zach Weintraub (Slackjaw) and John Portanova (Valley of the Sasquatch), and a special Skype session with filmmaker Jen Senko, who offers a unique opportunity for audiences to give their feedback on her work-in-progress documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad, also screening at the festival.
A full schedule and ticket information for the Olympia Film Festival is on the way! For interview opportunities with any of the above-mentioned artists, please contact OFS Marketing Coordinator, Hannah Eklund at 360.754.6670, ext. 12, or email at hannah@olympiafilmsociety.org
