As is customary at all PSCS events, free refreshments will be available. Additionally there will be a gallery of work from local artists giving their interpretations and inspirations from films in the evening’s program.

Come share a night of film, food and fun with us.

Omar says, “…it will be eclectic, refreshing, and generally awesome. Also, I make food for everyone. Hypoallergenic and vegan options, too. Oh yeah, and it’s free as in freedom and also free as in price.”

About this evening’s host, Omar Willey

Born in Seattle when the last person leaving was supposed to turn out the lights, Omar Willey has been an experimental filmmaker and photographer since 1988, with six feature films under his belt and a dozen shorts that have been shown locally as well as broadcast internationally.

With Anthony Reed, he began the Puget Sound Cinema Society in 2000, modeled after Amos Vogel’s Cinema 16 and dedicated to putting the mystery and thoughtfulness back into moviegoing and exhibition. He is also known as a longtime theater critic dating back to 1989 at KCMU radio (now KEXP) but is best known perhaps as the publisher of the online journal of arts and culture, The Seattle Star (http://www.seattlestar.net/), in which he has continued his interest in writing about performing arts, science, experimental film, and open culture.

He volunteers his free time to the open source software movement, Project Gutenberg, and Creative Commons projects across the country. Currently teaching with the TeenTix Press Corps, he also teaches free workshops in critical writing and photography for general audiences around town. He is interested in everything.
