The sacred ritual of the ride might sound different all across the world – whether it’s a full-face getting pulled down to drop into a big jump line or wheeling a beat-up bike out of a mud hut to pedal to school – but it’s a universal process no matter what language we speak. \n\n\n\nAs we view this visual tapestry featuring next-level riding in unusual locations all across the globe\, we hear a voice speaking a language we’ve never heard: \n\n\n\nThere are more than 7\,000 languages spoken on Earth. In 1887 a Polish-Jewish doctor named L.L. Zamenhof created a new one\, a universal second language based on a combination of existing widely-spoken European languages. Its goal is to help bring people together from different ideologies\, beliefs\, and nations and ultimately to help end war. The language was called Esperanto. Translated into English it means ‘one who hopes.’ Today\, Esperanto might remain elusive\, but the dream of a shared language Spoken Worldwide still flourishes. You just have to know where to look for it. \n\n\n\nDirector: Jeremy GrantCountry: USAYear: 2022Runtime: 60 minutes\n\n\n\n\nPortland premiere from Teton Gravity Research made possible by Warpaint Magazine!

See two 80’s surf cult classics for one low price. \n\n\n\n\nSurf II \n\n\n\n7:00 PM \n\n\n\nSurfing is a way of life for high school students Chuck and Bob\, who are training for the big surf competition. However\, their fathers\, sales reps for a new soda named Buzzz Cola\, disapprove of surfing as a whole. Everything is going swell until the area’s surfing population starts getting kidnapped by Menlo\, a vengeful nerd turned mad scientist\, with a particular vengeance aimed at surfers. Using Buzzz Cola\, Menlo begins turning surfers into brain dead zombies. Can Chuck and Bob thwart his evil master plan in time to save the surfing competition? A completely unhinged comedy that manages to integrate slapstick humor\, surreal sight gags\, and horror and sci-fi elements\, SURF II is an outrageous blast of 1980s excess—newly restored from long lost original 35mm elements! \n\n\n\n“We set out to make the most brain-dead movie of all time. In that regard\, I believe we succeeded.” –Surf II writer-director Randall Badat \n\n\n\nDirector: Randall BadatCountry: USAYear: 1983Runtime: 100 minutes\n\n\n\n\n\nSurf Nazis Must Die \n\n\n\n9:00 PM \n\n\n\nFrom the twisted minds at Troma Entertainment! Welcome to California\, where the beaches have become battlefields and the waves are a war zone! In the near future\, a major earthquake has devastated the California coastline. As the survivors attempt to put their lives back together\, a new\, more terrifying threat erupts. The once beautiful beaches are now ruled by ruthless gangs . . . and the gangs are ruled by the dreaded Surf Nazis! Only one person is powerful enough to stop them—Mama Washington on a rampage of revenge! \n\n\n\n“A sort of Clockwork Orange meets Mad Max on the beach\, pic hasn’t one redeeming feature.” -Variety \n\n\n\nDirector: Peter GeorgeCountry: USAYear: 1987Runtime: 83 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/double-surf-summer-feature/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/surfiiposter-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220709T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220709T190000 DTSTAMP:20260501T065853 CREATED:20220703T202744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220703T202744Z UID:10000511-1657393200-1657393200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Night of the Comet DESCRIPTION:A huge comet passes near the earth\, vaporising most of the planet’s population. Only a few teenagers survive after spending the night inside a steel-lined room and avoiding the effects of the comet. When they emerge the next day\, they discover that almost everyone has been turned to dust and a few partially-exposed survivors are now hideous\, blood-thirsty zombies. \n\n\n\nNight of the Comet is not really symbolic of anything quite so real world perilous\, but it serves as a rare example of smart\, resourceful and snarky butt-kicking women in film of that decade Jennifer K. Stuller\, Bitch Media\n\n\n\nA good-natured\, end-of- the-world B-movie\, written and directed by Thom Eberhardt\, a new film maker whose sense of humor augments rather than upstages the mechanics of the melodrama Vincent Canby\, The New York Times URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/night-of-the-comet/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/nightofthecomet-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220713T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220713T190000 DTSTAMP:20260501T065853 CREATED:20220707T053608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220707T053609Z UID:10000538-1657738800-1657738800@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:SPELL: Sweet Slaughterhouse DESCRIPTION:Spell – Dolce mattatoio \n\n\n\nA sustained\, fragmented maelstrom of society’s fractured decline into violence\, eroticism\, and politics\, occuring in an Italian village during the parade of its patron saint. Following a host of characters as their stories collide and intersect with explosive results\, it’s a psychedelic monument to Italy’s Years of Lead! \n\n\n\nMade in response to Pasolini’s Salo and Makavajev’s Sweet Movie\, SPELL—SWEET SLAUGHTERHOUSE (1977) is Alberto Cavallone’s Surrealismo estremo at its finest\, told in darkly compelling vignettes of madness\, betrayal\, brutality\, sex and the grotesque. \n\n\n\n(CW: a chicken is killed on a farm\, incest\, sexually violent themes) \n\n\n\nDirector: Alberto CavalloneCountry: ItalyYear: 1977Runtime: 104 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/spell-sweet-slaughterhouse/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Spell-poster.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220715T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220715T190000 DTSTAMP:20260501T065853 CREATED:20220703T213938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220703T213939Z UID:10000513-1657911600-1657911600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Friday DESCRIPTION:It’s Friday and Craig Jones (Ice Cube) has just gotten fired for stealing cardboard boxes. To make matters worse\, rent is due\, he hates his overbearing girlfriend\, Joi (Paula Jai Parker)\, and his best friend\, Smokey (Chris Tucker)\, owes the local drug dealer money — and that’s all before lunch. As the hours drag on\, Jones and Smokey experience the gamut of urban life\, complete with crackheads\, shoot-outs and overly sexual pastors\, concentrated into one single\, unbelievable Friday. \n\n\n\nWhile the character-driven script has a weakness for toilet humor (Mel Brooks would be proud)\, its inhabitants are given some oddball quirks and tics that keep things percolating when the plot development runs a little thin. Michael Rechtshaffen\, Hollywood Reporter\n\n\n\nDirector: F. Gary GrayCountry: USAYear: 1995Runtime: 91 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/friday/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Friday_V_DD_KA_TT_2000x3000_300dpi_EN_3ea13584.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220718T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220718T190000 DTSTAMP:20260501T065853 CREATED:20220704T001857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220704T005821Z UID:10000515-1658170800-1658170800@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Smooth Talk DESCRIPTION:Part of our July Clinton St. Resistance Series with proceeds benefiting Sisters of the Road \n\n\n\n\nSuspended between carefree youth and the harsh realities of the adult world\, a teenage girl experiences an unsettling awakening in this haunting vision of innocence lost. \n\n\n\nBased on Joyce Carol Oates’ celebrated short story “Where Are You Going\, Where Have You Been?” and produced for PBS’ American Playhouse\, the narrative debut from director Joyce Chopra features a revelatory breakout performance from Laura Dern as Connie\, the fifteen-year-old black sheep of her family whose summertime idyll of beach trips\, mall hangouts\, and innocent flirtations is shattered by an encounter with a mysterious stranger (a memorably menacing Treat Williams). \n\n\n\nWinner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance\, Smooth Talk captures the thrill and terror of adolescent sexual exploration as it transforms the ingredients of a standard coming of age portrait into something altogether more troubling and profound. \n\n\n\nDirector: Joyce ChopraCountry: USAYear: 1985Runtime: 91 minutes\n\n\n\n\nThe film’s power is enormous throughout; spare means (long-held closeups\, a four-minute take of sisterly confessions) evoke a drama that seems to have been filmed holding its breath. Richard Brody\, New Yorker\n\n\n\nThe movie is almost uncanny in its self-assurance\, in the way it knows that the first hour\, where ‘nothing’ happens\, is necessary if the payoff is to be tragic\, instead of merely sensational. Roger Ebert\, Chicago Sun-Times\n\n\n\nThroughout\, Joyce Chopra patiently and shrewdly observes the contradictions of human behavior that Laura Dern brilliantly conveys. Jake Cole\, Slant Magazine\n\n\n\nA gorgeous\, thrilling portrayal of careless childhood dissolving in the summer sun\, Smooth Talk is a landmark coming-of-age film and signals the arrival of one of cinema’s favorite stars.  Lee Jutton\, Film Inquiry URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/smooth-talk/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Smooth-Talk-poster.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
