About
40 Frames is dedicated to preserving the art of 16mm filmmaking and exhibition. We advocate for a living history of 16mm through the preservation and exhibition of film prints, and continued production in the 16mm format.
Since 2000, we have co-presented film screenings and film production workshops with the Northwest Film Center, Portland State University English Department and Film Studies Minor, Portland State University Film Committee, Portland Community College Cascade Campus, The Cascade Festival of African Films, Cinema Project, PDX Film Festival, Elizabeth Leach Gallery, and Marriage Records.
In 2008, 40 Frames transitioned to a new scope of work involving the completion of three major projects: the web resource 16mmdirectory.org, 40 Frames live/work space, and the completion of the film Empty Quarter. In addition, 40 Frames continues to provide technical consultation and service work to individuals and organizations, and periodic exhibition of 16mm film prints at local venues.
