Director Eran Kolirin answers questions after his film "The Band's Visit" was screened during the festival's opening night.

One of my favorite clients is the Northwest Film Center.  For the past two weeks I’ve been covering some of the events at the International Film Festival—Portland’s biggest film fest.  I’m going to miss it when it ends this weekend.  The Film Center has introduced me to so many great things that are happening in cinema these days.
