The self-made man o f showbiz Juan Oro! is featured in a tribute film at the Northwest Film Center.
Fantastic World of Juan Orol
Half-forgotten B-movie master
and “involuntary surrealist” Juan
Orol (1897-1988) receives a pitch-
perfect tribute to his career in the
documentary “The Fantastic World
of Juan Orol,” presented Sunday,
July 28 at 7 p.m. by the Northwest
Film Center at Whitsell Auditorium
in the Portland Art Museum.
The film is described as an irre­
sistible love letter to M exico’s self-
made man of showbiz whose career
spanned half a century and nearly
60 films. O ral’s life exudes a droll
underdog charm, and almost every
frame of the documentary is an in-
fectious homage to the golden age
of cinema, the wiles of memory, and
the art o f fantasy.
The Northwest Film Center is a
regional media arts organization
offering a variety of exhibition, edu­
cation programs, and artist services.
