Along with each year’s films, many people look forward to the Portland International Film Festival (PIFF) poster, which sets a mood for the discovery to come. For 20 years, Portland designer Steve Sandstrom has created the posters, often collaborating with such internationally known artists as Philippe Lardy, Josh Gosfield, Amy Guip, Mark Hooper, Jeff Foster, Leigh Wells, and Ken Orvidas.
As the Film Center celebrates its 40th anniversary, it seemed fitting to ask Sandstrom to pick out a few of his favorites and tell us what he likes about each one.
