On Sunday, The Northwest Film Center hosts one of the world's busiest directors and cinematographers—local filmmaker Lance Bangs.

Best known for his music videos for such bands as Pavement, The Shins, Sonic Youth, White Stripes Bangs also makes, often with collaborator Spike Jonze, compelling documentary portraits. He's also married to musician Corin Tucker. This program samples some of Bangs’ recent projects, including THE LAZARUS EFFECT (2009), which illustrates the transformative effect of life-saving antiretroviral medicine through the stories of HIV-positive people in Zambia. Other films include an intimate documentary about children's author Maurice Sendak and FAMILY PORTRAIT (2009), a lively chronicle of an amazing group of artists, musicians, and all-around creative powerhouses that surround the Family Bookstore in LA—including curator and cartoonist Sammy Harkham, David Jacob Kramer, bands No Age and Lavender Diamond, artist Mike Mills, and other surprises.
