OTREC and Architects Without Borders-Oregon are hosting an evening of ideas with a screening of Beyond the Motor City,a new documentary directed by filmmaker Aaron Woolf (INDEPENDENT LENS “King Corn”). This film examines how Detroit, a grim symbol of America’s diminished status in the world, may come to represent the future of transportation and progress in America. As an example, the picture on the left shows how the once great Michigan Theatre is now a parking lot. The film will be shown
one-time only in Portland on June 29th, at McMenamins BAGDAD THEATER.
Doors open at 5:30 pm & screening begins at 6:30 pm. Admission is
FREE. A panel discussion to follow with Aaron Woolf
(filmmaker), Bob Hastings (TriMet Architect), and Gil Kelley
(Loeb Fellow, Harvard University). You can view the trailer below:
