Poetic film festival seeks submissions The Second International Poetry Film Festival is inviting filmmaker/poets to submit their works. The poetic film attempts to build a symbiotic relationship of poem and film, each enhancing the other to achieve a unity of mood. Whatever transpires, the total ef fect should be greater than the iso lated parts. The festival is confined to films which embody poetry in narrated or captioned form only. The audience will serve as the judge and the awards will be money, prizes and a nationwide tour of their films. All submissions must be sent before May 1, to: Poetry Film Workshop, 2 Casa Way, San Francisco, CA 94123. All my children By GLEN OZONEWOOD Of the Emerald Last week, I commented how hard it would be to write Ann out of the script, but it looks like it’s her sister-in-law that’s on the way out. Kitty is fatally ill, the only question now is how long til she’s gone. Not that she knows any of this. Line has decided not to tell her so she can live her remaining days free of worry, (and be sides it sets up numerous ironic situations with Kitty tel ling Line how perfect every thing is). But if death is the yin, life is the yang and in Pine Valley, the yang’s all here ’cause Tara is pregnant. You’d think she’d be happy, but she’s not. Seems she and Phil had decided it wou Id be best to wait f or a whi le before having another child so’s they could work things out with little Phil. And they better work it out soon. Things are real nasty around Phil and Tara's. They’re al ways arguing, or little Phil’s being a brat or who knows what? The solution senms simple enough to me; send lit tle Phil back to Chuck and start a new family with the child Tara's carrying. Oh that I were a script writer. And how about a riddle? Pic ture Ann and Paul on the patio of their room near Seattle (they went there for a few days rest) with Paul searching for some thing to say that will cheer Ann up. But to every comment about how fresh the air smells or how good the food is, Ann can only respond with a silent glare. Suddenly, a small girl ap pears from the cabin next door. “Hello, my mommy’s going to take me riding soon." “Oh that’s nice, what’s your name little girl?” And that's where the riddle comes in. What was the little girl’s name? If you quess Elizabeth, you’ve been watch ing soap operas too long. But anyway, the blow hit Ann di rectly in the heart. Bolting from the patio she rushed inside to pack her things and return to Beth. But Paul can’t take it any more. After pleading with Ann to stay for at least the night, he finally lost it and started screaming at her. “You didn’t love Beth alone, damn you.” The frustration is building, and people who are frustrated can do odd things sometimes. To close on as down a note as we opened on, Dr. Karas is slowly going crazy. Every so often, her father’s ghost ap pears, and she reverts back to a young child, repeating over and over “I won’t go to that stupid hospital.” Seems her father must have pressured her into medicine even as a Diamond Jackson concert at Eugene Hotel Diamond Jackson, a local band with national esteem, will be giv ing a concert/dance show this Saturday at 9 p.m. inthe King Cole Room of the Eugene Hotel. Local recording artist Lori Moritz will be their special guest performer. Diamond Jackson was put to gether by Georges Bouhey, who played and recorded with Mason Williams for three years, including his latest album. Four months ago Bouhey chose four musicians from the Eugene area with the ex press purpose of forming a tight, sophisticated rock and roll band. The idea was to play music with a solid rock foundation that one could dance to, but put together with precision and taste so that one could also appreciate it on a strictly aural level. Diamond Jack son is the result. The group has performed !oc ally on NBC’s KVAL-TV and their music has been aired over KFMY-FM and KUGN-AM. Re cently, Diamond Jackson was of fered a production contract by Los Angeles producer Rick Jarrard, who has also produced per formers like Harry Nilsson, Jose Feliciano, and Jefferson Airplane. Locally, Raspberry Recording often uses Diamond Jackson as their studio musicians for many projects, including new releases, backing up other artists and ad vertising production. Accordina to Raspberry manager Richard Jen kins, “Multi-track record-in is not an easy process, but the profes sionalism with which they attack it makes it a continual pleasure to work with them. Considering their abilities in the studio, it is no won der that their stage act is rapidly gaining in popularity." 1 When do you say Budweiser ? Q When I think about pizza.

KN»E«S£R B«SCH INC. ST. LOUIS Presently, Diamond Jackson is in the process of doing shows throughout Oregon and the Northwest. But the members of the band were raised in the Eugene area and they make this town their home between tours and engagements. This Saturday, they will play where their roots are.
