With a history in animation that reaches back nearly ninety years, our mossy town is today a hotspot of the art form, known for everything from do-it-yourself independents to big-budget feature filmmaking, plus one world-class animation festival. Simply put, this is a great place to be an animator.

Our local chapter of ASIFA was formed by and for this unique community over thirty years ago. We hold screenings, mixers, workshops and guest lectures. We exchange ideas and resources, both online and in person. We do what we can to boost the art form and our own growing, eclectic animation scene here in the Pacific Northwest. Take a look around the site, and we invite you to join  ASIFA Portland today!

Mike Smith
President, ASIFA Portland

A pioneer in the field, British animator Paul Vester has been primarily concerned with the language of animation. Vester combines different media and techniques to create personal work that is both eclectic and referential, while producing commercial projects of astonishing range. He is the co-director of the experimental animation program at the California Institute of the Arts, and was a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, among many other awards and honors.

Tonight he will screen and discuss some of his key films, including SUNBEAM (1980), PICNIC (1987), ABDUCTEES (1995), and IN THE WOODS (2008), as well as a wide-ranging selection of his television commercials and work produced for television programs. ( 90 min ) Presented in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest College of Art’s Boundary Crossings: An Institute in Contemporary Animated Arts.
