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."
