The screening of Figaro has made it to several Portland/Oregon publications such as The Portland Mercury, Willamette Week and, as of Friday the 10th, The Oregonian and it's internet twin Oregonlive.com. The article appears below:
"Figaro": D.V. Schaefer has made two documentaries about the histories of two Portland sports franchises, the Buckaroos ("Kings of the Road") and the Trail Blazers ("Mania"). His latest and best work takes him far from the Northwest and athletics. "Figaro" follows the cross-cultural collaboration/experiment between university-level music academies in Louisville, Ky., and Kratowice, Poland, as both departments, working on a compressed schedule typical of professional companies, head to each other's turf to give performances of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro." The camera extensively documents all aspects of production while capturing the giddy nervousness of the student performers.
