filmmaker goes
behind signs
The Northwest Film Center’s
commitment to highlighting cin­
ematic works produced in the North­
west comes to the forefront when it
presents “Cardboard,” the latest
work by Seattle filmmaker Matt
Longmire.
Encountering panhandlers with
their rumpled cardboard signs ask­
ing for help is an everyday occur­
rence in Seattle. Many are veterans,
many have issues with mental ill­
ness, and most make between $10
and $60 a day, according to the
film ’s producers.
Longmire was inspired to inter­
view many of them to understand
the corrugated trails that led to these
street comers. What is their back­
ground? How do they survive?
Seattle’s mayor, Mike McGinn,
who made the highly controver­
sial decision to veto the city ’s ban
on panhandling, offers-political
context balanced with countless
other outlooks from S eattle’s citi­
zens.
The film ’s screening will take
place at the Northwest Film Center’s Longmire will introduce the film.
