Jock Docs Presents: Fast Break

Tuesday, September 22nd-Wednesday, September 23rd, 7:30pm Jock Docs Presents: Fast Break (The Best in Sports Documentaries) Curated and Introduced by Laura Coxson, producer of Albert Maysles' Iris Don Zavin, 1978, 105 min Evoking a cinema verite feel not found in most sports documentaries, Fast Break examines the 1977 Portland Trailblazers basketball team 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 Trailblazers, as well as their coach Jack Ramsey. Whether it's biking the Oregon coast with star center 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.
