From the catalog: AMERICAN LANDSCAPES: THE CINEMA OF KELLY REICHARDT
Since her second feature, 2006’s Old Joy, Miami-born Reichardt has staked a claim to the Pacific Northwest—Oregon in six films, with the Montana of Certain Women an outlier—that has made her name as synonymous with the region as, say, Faulkner’s is with Mississippi. The attention she pays to the specific cadences and rituals of life in the Northwest, from the Portland of Showing Up to the thinly populated southern Oregon in Night Moves, is matched by her exhaustive engagement in every aspect of her films, from screenwriting—frequently in collaboration with Jonathan Raymond—to editing, which she will discuss in depth in a panel presented by American Cinema Editors (ACE) as part of this full retrospective of her eight features to date, a chance to review the filmography of a confirmed regionalist whose particular genius has taken her far beyond the boundaries of her chosen home.

Titles co-produced by and featuring Fessenden:
