A preview of the Northwest Film Center's Essential Gus Van Sant retrospective


In advance of the Northwest Film Center's Essential Gus Van Sant retrospective, Jenn Chavez talks with Mario Falsetto, the author of the new book Conversations with Gus Van Sant.  We're also joined by KBOO's own Walt Curtis, the author of the book Mala Noche, which was adapted into Gus' very first feature film.

Then, S.W. Conser welcomes Ned Thanhouser, the director of the documentary The Thanhouser Studio and the Birth of American Cinema.  Ned is the grandson of Edwin and Gertrude Thanhouser, the founders of the namesake studio where groundbreaking independent films were produced from 1909 through 1917.

Extended web-only versions of the Mario Falsetto and Walt Curtis interviews are available at this page.
