The Portland German Film Festival in Portland, OR. is presented by Zeitgeist Northwest, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides a link to modern German culture, the German language and the arts.
In their monthly film series, they show a variety of GERMAN or GERMAN language films from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On the 2nd Tuesday of each month, audiences have a chance to see these films on a regular basis at the the Clinton Street Theater. (Children movies will be playing on Sunday afternoons – please check our website.) All films are with English subtitles.
Zeitgeist Northwest believes that traditional cultural heritage and language play an important role in our lives and that of our children. But they also strive to connect to a modern Germany that acknowledges a dark past and has emerged as a vibrant, open, liberal society, leaving that past behind.
They offer a variety of opportunities to learn, to be entertained, to meet like-minded people and to network. Their events are inclusive of those speaking English, but offer plenty of opportunities to those wanting to speak German, from native German speakers to students just learning the basics.
