Films not to miss include Viva Las Vegas (1964), featuring Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret at their rollicking best, and Goldfinger (1964), starring the ever-suave Sean Connery as James Bond.

As part of the continuing exhibition series exploring important print ateliers and publishers that have included Mixografia and Portland's Mahaffey Fine Arts Prints, Tamarind Touchstone: Fabulous at Fifty presents a retrospective look at the production and noted artists who have made Tamarind one of the United States' great independent print workshops.
