PFDW#27 Interview with Dan Halsted Kung Fu film archivist and film programmer of the Hollywood Theater in Portland

from Postcards from a Dying World · host David Agranoff

In part one of my Chinese cinema trilogy, I chat with Dan Halsted the lead programmer at the Hollywood Theater in Portland Oregon. He is the Indiana Jones of Kungfu cinema who unearth 8,000 pounds of 35 MM prints that are now traveling the world being screened everywhere. In this interview, we go deep on how he rescued the prints of these classic movies. We also get into must-watch classics and talk about the film scene in Portland, one of the aspects of PDX I miss since returning to San Diego. https://hollywoodtheatre.org •You can find my books here:      https://bookshop.org/contributors/david-agranoff   Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW     •And me here:  Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff   Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor  Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/
