Notes:
This was created as a centennial film for Eugene and was screened in honor of Margaret Mead at the Chautauqua Institute in Chautauqua, NY. Don Cato has directed 25 films, including another UO holding Logger Rhythms, and the award-winning “Be My Oswald” about a plot to assassinate Santa Claus. He also won a silver medal at the Cannes Film Festival for his first short, “Pipeline.” He has a master’s degree in Landscape Architecture-Motion Graphics from UO (1975). Film begins with a wonderful line about Native Americans telling Eugene Skinner that “this is not a good place to live.” Begins with some re-enactments, but bulk of film is a montage of images and voices, including an extended recipe sequence. Cute little animation shows the growth of the city.
