    complete details

    This year’s recipient of the Regional Arts and Culture Council’s Individual Artist
    Fellowship, Portland filmmaker Lawrence Johnson—STUFF (2011), HANDGAME
    (2001)—is known for his sensitive treatment of history and Native American cultures.
    Tonight Johnson will present a program of his shorter works, made over the course of
    25 years, including pieces made for the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, and
    other Oregon and Washington history museums; THREE POSSIBLE SCENES (2002),
    an experimental film starring Portland actors Ted Roisum and Sarah Lucht; and a live
    performance by Thringst, a performance art group Johnson helped found that blends live
    music, video, drama, and general mayhem on an aquatic theme. “Larry’s work evokes
    a trickster’s sensibility,” says filmmaker Sue Arbuthnot, “guiding us with humor and
    patience to a better understanding of our world.” (120 mins.)
