Blossom(2010)
As a young woman journeys to a new country, the promise and possibility of her life spills out like the petals of a flower, unfurling into full and glorious bloom. Julia Kwan’s film Blossom captures a woman's experience, mirrored and reflected in the natural world. As summer opens into spring, mother and daughter build a life together. The taste and texture of each season, whether the ice-cream smell of summer, the crisp birch air of autumn, or the warmth of winter dumplings -- are lovingly rendered in animation, sound and image. Throughout the passage of time, the persistence of love endures, as resolute and unchanging as the cycle of the season.

Still Only Slightly Exaggerated(en)
Welcome to Oregon, a place we still get excited telling you about. The spirit of Oregon comes from a natural world filled with otherworldly feelings. And from miniature restaurants on wheels, where talented chefs sling hand-stretched noodles and spirits serve spirits. It’s a place where imaginary dust horses gallop alongside real-life rodeo legends and their bucking broncos. Where a journey of 10,000 years is possible in a single afternoon. It's a public coastline where the wind and waves meet a sky full of wonder and jellyfish. Where roomy campsites offer a cozy retreat under the stars. (Cue the sound of crickets.) It's a place where fireflies dance into fairytale-like scenes at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. You’ll find it in our vineyards, where a chorus of plump pinot noir grapes serenades visitors. Where pops of golds and red light up the sky and contrast against Oregon's evergreen forests. And cloud pilots watch over mountain peaks.
