Lights! Camera! Action!
40th Anniversary Gala + Fundraiser
at the Portland Art Museum, 1119 SW Park Avenue

Step onto our red carpet and get swept back to Classic Hollywood. The Film Center celebrates its 40th anniversary with a 1940s-themed evening of film-related auction items, delicious food and drink, and A-list company. Our Lights! Camera! Action! Gala + Fundraiser will take place on Saturday, May 12.

Hosted by Honorary Chair Gus Van Sant, the Gala begins with red carpet arrivals, cocktails, and a silent auction at 6 p.m., followed by a sumptuous dinner, exciting live auction, and dazzling musical performances by Pink Martini’s China Forbes headlining a big band orchestra.

Help the Film Center celebrate four decades of building a flourishing media arts community in the Northwest. Your participation supports youth and adult scholarships, opportunities for local filmmakers, and much beloved yearly festivals and film screenings.
