It's amazing:
This year Flying Focus Video Collective turns 15.
We will be celebrating our anniversary in two ways:
• First, we will be showing back-to-back reruns of our retrospective anniversary shows,
(the "Busiversary") in the weeks leading up to November 18. Portland Comcast subscribers will be able to see all 14 past
"Busiversaries" over three weeks this fall.
Busiversary Retrospective – 15 Years of Shows
(A full schedule is listed in the table at
the bottom of the page).
On Saturday,
November 11 all the retrospectives will show in a 14.5 hour marathon
back-to-back starting at 7:30 AM on Channel 22, culminating in the world
premiere of this year's "Fifteenth Busiversary.".
• The second celebration will be connected to that all-day marathon: We will be
holding a public screening and celebration event for the last four hours (6-10 PM) on Saturday,
November 11 at Portland Community Media (PCM) at 2766 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd (enter
on Graham St) in
NE Portland.
The event will include a screening area to view the 12th-15th
Busiversaries, as well as an area to share food and dialogue with past and
present participants of Flying Focus. Think of why Flying Focus makes a
difference in your life!
Food for this event has generously been donated by:
While the event will be free and open to the
public we are seeing this as a fund-raising event, which means we hope you
