9/28/2019 | OPB's April Baer Interview with Indie Film Legend Christine Vachon
Film producer Christine Vachon will attend BendFilm Festival, Oct. 11-13, as the festival’s IndieWoman of the Year to introduce and conduct audience Q&As for four of her films.
Vachon has done so much to influence American cinema. She’s responsible for bringing to life films like “Kids,” “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” “I Shot Andy Warhol,” “Boys Don’t Cry” and all of Todd Haynes’ features. Her work is being honored for the unforgettable stories she made possible, and also for work, she’s done to address inequity in the film industry. OPB spoke with Vachon about populating the film landscape with stories of LGBTQ life, and working with auteurs like Todd Haynes, Kimberly Peirce and Ira Glass.
BendFilm Director, Todd Looby, says, “The IndieWoman of the Year award is named for Pamela Hulse Andrews a longtime Bend business leader, arts supporter and force of nature who inspired women across all business sectors. Christine Vachon embodies this same generous, innovative and tenacious spirit and we look forward to honoring her in October.”
