Oregon Music News

In the Artichoke Café here at Artichoke Music, 2007 SE Powell Boulevard, we’re talking music movies. Not musicals. And not Cats, but the Northwest Film Center’s annual Reel Music Festival. This year it runs from Friday, January 24 through Sunday, February 16 and it’s got some old favorites among the new films which are all about music. With me in the Café today is Ben Popp, Filmmaker Services Manager & Programmer who had a hand in curating this year's films. He’s here to tell us all about the films in the festival and what goes into choosing them. I know one thing, I can’t wait to see The Harder They Come on the big screen again, just like I did at midnight when it first came out. Meet Ben Popp.
