Website: avalonflowerspdx.com email: avalonflowers@msn.com We Offer Wire Services The Northwest Film Center brings one the year’s most in- cisive, tender portraits of life in America with the screening of “Quest,” a documentary that fol- lows a black family living in Phil- adelphia during the Obama pres- idency. The debut documentary, by film director Jonathon Olshefs- ki, follows Christopher “Quest” Rainey, a pillar of the local hip- hop community who uses his basement studio to give young rappers a shot, while his wife Christine’a (“Ma Quest”) works at a local health care facility. Their studio space acts as a refuge from the harsh streets, but those same streets send the family into crisis at points, as random violence af- fects their lives. In the end, however, the Raineys’ strong familial bonds rise above, and Quest—shot over a 10-year period—gracefully lets us in on a look at one family’s deeply felt experience of this his- toric period in American life. ‘Quest” shows at 7 p.m. on Fri- day, March 10, Saturday, March 10 and Sunday, March 10 at Whit- sell Auditorium at the Portland Art Museum, downtown. Tickets are $9 general, $8 for students and seniors and $6 for children.
