| | Films at the Northwest Film Center | | | This Halloween weekend, drag yourself away from the mini candy bars and come on out to the Northwest Film Center where you're sure to find films to fit every palate. Audiences can enjoy the third annual presentation of Fresh French Shorts, a compilation of narratives, documentaries, and animated films by emerging French directors. If Ultimate Cake Off is more your style, Kings of Pastry will make your mouth water as sixteen of France's top pastry chefs produce everything from the perfect cream puffs to fragile sugar sculptures as they compete for the collar of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. Art lovers will also have a second chance to see Herb and Dorothy, a documentary about two of the most unusual collectors of contemporary art, screening in conjunction with the Museum's The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States.
