Fast Break

45th Anniversary screening of FAST BREAK dedicated to the memory of Portland Trail Blazer Radio Icon BILL SCHONELY.

Evoking a cinéma vérité feel not found in most sports documentaries, FAST BREAK examines the 1977 Trail Blazers in a surprisingly personal and compelling fashion. Inter-cutting excerpts from the 1977 playoff / championship season, the film steps outside of the basketball court, and into the everyday lives of the Trail Blazers, as well as their coach Jack Ramsey. Whether it’s biking the Oregon coast with Bill Walton, hosting a kids basketball camp with Dave Twardzik, or joking with Maurice Lucas at the pool—FAST BREAK lets the players speak for themselves: about basketball, life and playing in Portland.

Join us after the show for a Q&A with author / athlete LARRY COLTON who interviewed the team in FAST BREAK. We’ll also be remembering and
sharing stories about The Schonz and how much he meant to Portland.

Hosted and moderated by film curator Greg Hamilton.
