SUMMARY:NUITS ROUGES (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:The mysterious Man Without a Face plots to steal the hidden treasure of a secretly existing sect of the Order of the Knights Templar in an over-the-top adventure involving lost treasure\, murder\, underground ceremonies\, mad scientists\, robots\, and a mind-controlled zombie army.  \n\n\n\nNUITS ROUGES was Surrealist Georges Franju’s final tribute to the silent serials of Louis Feuillade—aggressively and joyfully escalating the absurdity of the bygone fantastique-crime genre\, propelling it into a raucous\, garish\, at times eerie and atmospheric film that somehow blends high camp\, anti-fascism\, moody dream reality\, and winking postmodern détournement! Weird…

SUMMARY:Donkey Skin
DESCRIPTION:In this lovingly crafted\, wildly eccentric adaptation of a classic French fairy tale\, Jacques Demy casts Catherine Deneuve as a princess who must go into hiding as a scullery maid in order to fend off an unwanted marriage proposal—from her own father\, the king (Jean Marais). A topsy-turvy riches-to-rags fable with songs by Michel Legrand\, Donkey Skin creates a tactile fantasy world that’s perched on the border between the earnest and the satiric\, and features Delphine Seyrig in a delicious supporting role as a fashionable fairy godmother.*Screened in French with English-language subtitles.* \n\n\n\n    \n        Director: Jacques Demy\n        Year: 1970\n        Country: France\n        Runtime: 90 minutes

SUMMARY:THE CURSE OF THE DOLL PEOPLE (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:A group of academics and scientists are targeted for pillaging a sacred idol from a temple\, by voodoo dolls. Not dolls that are stabbed with pins however\, but animated dolls that stab others with pins. Very odd. This classic Mexican horror epitomizes pulp\, horror\, and adventure genres\, where wild misunderstandings of science and culture lead to spectacular\, strange\, and surreal contortions of possibility.

THE SHADOW & ITS SHADOW: Nightmares of French Surrealism includes select works of cinematic dreamers Georges Franju\, Ado Kyrou\, Eric Duvivier\, Patrick Bokanowski\, and more!

SUMMARY:THE MYSTICAL ROSE (1976) (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:A dark and challenging operatic tornado of animation\, a grim and surreal knot of sex and violence in meticulous designs. Vagina dentatas and self-annihilating phalluses crawl over terrain alien and familiar in this perverse recreation of a Catholic Mass! Michael Lee made his magnum opus\, \n\n\n\nTHE MYSTICAL ROSE\, as a response to his conflicted feelings about his own strict religious upbringing\, just as he was colliding with the spirited counter-culture in Melbourne. The result is an often hilarious\, often disturbing\, and always awe-inspiring bohemian howl against malevolent rituals and traditions. (CW: intense visual stimulation\, strobe\, graphic imagery\, both real killing of livestock and simulated animal violence).

SUMMARY:BUBBLE BATH (1979) (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:Zsolt\, a fancy man about town in his 40s\, swings by in a panic with an unusual request for Anna: help him call off his wedding later that afternoon! What ensues is a delightful\, absurd musical of love\, sex\, and relationships\, but told in style! An incredible Hungarian funk and disco soundtrack propels swirling\, untamed\, and surreal animation.  \n\n\n\nBUBBLE BATH is genius animator Gyorgy Kovasznai’s first feature–a masterclass in going way off model and doing the most\, in one of the funnest\, best designed\, and most adult animations ever!

SUMMARY:MAGIC & ENIGMA: THE ANIMATION OF PRIIT PARN (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:A tiny man living under a stove terrifies and seduces a neglected housewife. A boy spends his life running around the globe\, afraid of the moon. A cloistered elite idles in a land of light\, color\, and consumer pleasures\, but must confront a separate world of darkness behind a door. These are some of the visions in the absurd existential dreamscapes of Estonian animator Priit Parn.  \n\n\n\nEschewing the elegant stylings of Soviet animation of the time\, Parn opted for a surreal style that could be ugly and disturbing\, but even more varied and meticulous. This program includes his masterpieces HOTEL E and BREAKFAST ON THE GRASS\, along with many other rare treats from his career.

SUMMARY:Blessings Movie Night: Tales from the Hood with Live Score
DESCRIPTION:Portland visual artist Eatcho and musician Roman Norfleet join forces for this month’s Blessings Movie Night with an original live score to TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995).  \n\n\n\nA creepy mortician\, Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III)\, attempts to scare teenage drug dealer Stack (Joe Torry) and his friends straight by telling them four horrifying stories. One is about a guilt-riddled cop (Anthony Griffith) who goes crazy after ignoring his corrupt partner (Michael Massee). He also tells of a meek schoolboy (Brandon Hammond) with terrifying supernatural powers. Although the young thugs want to take their drugs and escape Mr. Simms\, he still has two more tales to tell. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is not a typical screening. An improvised live score will accompany the film. Remember to be kind and chill.

SUMMARY:LEILA & THE WOLVES (1985\, Lebanon) (Church of Film)
DESCRIPTION:Leila\, a Lebanese woman living abroad\, reflects on the women in Lebanese and Palestinian history. Her reflection becomes cinematic time travel throughout the past\, where she passes as a ghostly apparition through a mosaic of tales of women during Palestine’s colonization\, the Nakba\, and the destruction of the civil war in Lebanon. Taking over 7 years to complete under dangerous shooting conditions\, Heny Srour’s LEILA & THE WOLVES is part fairy tale feminist masterpiece of revolution\, war\, trauma and gender throughout Palestine’s tragic century.
