This summer I am doing a series of interviews with filmmakers whose work will be screened at the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation and Technology – also known as PFCAT , happening August 18th through 23rd at OMSI in Portland. At PFCAT you’ll experience 170 indie films from 30 countries, filmmaker Q&As, educational panels and networking events.

Their short documentary - My Burning Pianist – has been nominated for an award and will be screening on Friday, August 21st at 6:00pm“When music meets flame, anything can happen. This blazing episode follows the creation of My Burning Pianist, a jaw-dropping performance piece where piano keys trigger 33-foot fire bursts and sound waves dance as flames—staged by clowns, artists, and chaos.”SHOW NOTES:Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology WebsitePFCAT TicketsTickets for the Portland Documentary Shorts blockPFCAT Creator ExpoSaturday, August 22 at OMSI11am-2pmFREE with registration here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pfcat-creator-expo-tickets-1987246003291Therese, Andy and their work:Sparking Creativity Therese Gietler Andy Batt or Andy Batt artMy Burning Pianist websiteFollow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/sparkingcreativity.art/https://www.instagram.com/twistymaurice/https://www.instagram.com/andybattportfolio/https://www.instagram.com/theaskaproducer/ This is a public episode.
