Bill Brown and Matt McCormick, two Peripheral Produce mainstays who have traditionally worked in 16mm film, have recently rescanned their film negatives and re-released a few of their classic films. Below are favorites Confederation Park (1999) and The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal (2001), but be sure to click through to their Vimeo pages to check out other recently rescanned gems as well!

Peripheral Produce founder Matt McCormick, along with Portland artist Chris Freeman, are getting ready to launch a new cinematic venture: The Boathouse Microcinema.  A temporary, 30-seat movie theater in an old fire station, The Boathouse Microcinema will focus primarily on featuring local work and that of touring/traveling filmmakers.  This is very much an extension, or evolution, of Peripheral Produce, so if you miss the old screenings be sure to check it out: www.boathousemicrocinema.com

It is hard to believe that it’s been almost ten years since Helen was taken from this planet, but her energy and spirit lives on through her work and all the people she inspired.  And now even more people can access her work- for free- on the world wide web! Please visit the Helen Hill Vimeo page to find The Florestine Collection, Tunnel of Love, and many more of her cherished films!
