Cinema Pacific: THE FILMS OF JAMES BLUE: UO AND BEYOND

Wed, 04/29/2015 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm

In celebration of the deposit of the James Blue Archive at UO Special Collections, Cinema Pacific presents a rare find: Blue’s 40-minute 8 mm parody of Hamlet, with a cast and crew of UO Drama students and friends, filmed in 1951-52. Blue’s Hamlet was a huge sensation when it screened to an audience of more than 2,000 in the UO Student Union ballroom. Also on the program is a new documentary produced by Daniel Miller and Krysta Maksim titled Making the Invisible Visible: The Life and Art of James Blue. It is cosponsored with the James and Richard Blue Foundation.
