You've heard me talk about Ivy Lin's documentary Pig Roast & Tank of Fish in a previous post and I got word (thanks Ivy) that while it may be playing again, this could be one of the last showings of the film which looks at Portland's Chinatown.
Here are the details on the show:

Director’s Biography
Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, Ivy Lin has been living in the United States since 1989. She moved to Portland, OR from the Midwest in 2002.
Ivy works at ad agency Wieden+Kennedy and has been an independent documentary producer since 2000. She learned how to make documentaries from working at two local PBS-affiliated TV stations-WILL-TV (Urbana, IL) and SC ETV (Spartanburg, SC) from 1994-1999.
In 2007, Ivy directed and produced Knowing All of You Like I Do, a documentary about the closing and deconstruction of the record store Music Millennium NW (the oldest independent record store in the Pacific Northwest), chosen to be screened at the Reel Music Festival 2008.
So if you've wanted to check it out - now's the time to do it - and you get to support some Asian American film.
