This thoughtfully curated collection of locally produced shorts,
features, and archival films is unafraid of experimentation and
steps outside of the standard no-budget tropes of so many amateur
productions (seriously, people, enough with the horror
comedies). Today’s feature is American Collectors, which
David Schmader called “fascinating” if “a bit of a rough cut,” but
worthwhile films are playing all week. (Friday’s opening-night
selection, The Mountain, the River, and the Road, is a sweet
mumblecore love story.) (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave,
