The 39th Portland International Film Festival, the Northwest Film Center’s annual showcase of new world cinema, took place 11–27 February at the Portland Art Museum. It used doughnuts—many flag-themed—to transmit the message of internationalism in posters, on its website, and in its trailer (from which these images were clipped). Portland’s very own world-famous Voodoo Doughnuts provided the actual flag-pastries. Note the excellent choice of a maple-frosted item to represent Canada.
This got us thinking about the intersection of doughnuts and flags. Enjoy, but consume in moderation.
