The 25-minute documentary short Life After Manson premiered during the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, and with the 45th anniversary of the Manson Family killings having just passed, we thought now was a good time to share our interview with the film's director, Olivia Klaus.
While attending this year's Tff in New York City, Dread Central spoke with Klaus about notorious Manson cult member Patricia Krenwinkle, the subject of her latest project.
Synopsis:
In the 25-minute long Life After Manson, documentary filmmaker Olivia Klaus examines former "Manson girl" Patricia Krenwinkle, still struggling with the enormity and meaning of the notorious crimes she participated in committing as part of the criminal cult of the Charles Manson Family nearly 45 years later.

The 3rd annual Portland Oregon Women’s Film Festival (Pow!) has announced their full festival lineup, which includes 44 films from all over the world. The fest will run March 18-21 at the Hollywood Theatre.
Maybe this year, the Pow! fest will have something extra to celebrate if Kathryn Bigelow wins the Best Directing Academy Award on March 7th. Bigelow is the odds on favorite to take home the Oscar statuette this year for directing The Hurt Locker and, if she does, she’d be the first woman ever to do so. Actually, only four women have ever even been nominated: Bigelow, Lina Wertmuller, Jane Campion and Sofia Coppola.
The lineup below proves that women are a powerful force sitting in the director’s chair and Pow! has assembled an impressive lineup of animated films, shorts, features, documentaries, experimental films and more:

7:00 p.m.: “Local Shorts”

The only big film festival in my own backyard is back and it runs from November 12th through the 22nd. While it caters more to heavy run fest material and arthouse film, they do have some of the more interesting films playing this year:
Ryan Ward's excellent Son of the Sunshine which is one of my favorite films of the year. (review)
The weird, lengthy comedy The Revenant (review)
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
and much more. Program after the break!
In Competition
Children of Invention
Two first-generation Chinese kids in suburban Boston find themselves on their own after their desperate mother is unwittingly involved in a pyramid scheme and arrested. Older brother Raymond takes a page from her marketing seminars to start creating a life for himself and his sister - casting a strange, pint-sized reflection on the American Dream.
