WED 25 SEP
Coming Soon to
Cinema 21
OREGON PREMIERE!!
PLEASE NOTE: music supervisor Ben Wittkugel will be in attendance for this screening.
This impressionist hybrid documentary traces the oyster through its many life cycles in New York, once the world’s oyster capital. Now their specter haunts the city through queer characters embodying ancient myth, discovering the overlooked history and biology of the bivalve that built the city. As environmentalists restore them to the harbor, Holding Back The Tide looks to the oyster as a queer icon, entangled with nature, with much to teach about our continued survival.
Ben Wittkugel is the founder of Ploeg Arts; an artist management and special projects company. With a background talent buyer/promoter in Bloomington, Indiana and Brooklyn, New York and co-founding an independent record label in 2015 called Winspear; Wittkugel currently manages artists in music and visual arts. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, he currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
