'SILVER STATE SINNERS' SCREENS AT ODDBALL FILMS WITH PERVY PORTLAND CURATOR IAN SUNDAHL IN PERSON! On Friday, July 10th, Oddball Films present "SILVER STATE SINNERS", Portland archivist/curator Ian Sundahl's cinematic foray into VICE and VEGAS with films including the Rat Pack's "Oceans 11" premiere featuring SAMMY DAVIS, an inside sexist look at the US Navy's Tailhookers Convention, Live from the Sahara Casino includes performances by DEBBIE REYNOLDS and BOBBY DARIN, "AN EVENING IN A NEVADA BROTHEL", Las Vegas Home Movies, double screen projections and sleazy lounge music.
