[Frameworks] Art gallery venues that host experimental film series screenings

[Chris Freeman]

There was a place in Portland, OR that did that called Boom Bap - it had a
storefront with an art gallery setup and openings, then also had a
screening room that was programmed approximately monthly with experimental
work.  But it was only around for about a year in 2012.
