Here\, the state is merely a means to efficiently impose cruel police brutality and arbitraty violence\, and an underground of club-goers indulge in drugs\, parties\, and sex. A murderer is on the loose in this dystopian future city\, and crime is about to rise to a fever pitch. \n\n\n\nShades of Kenneth Anger and Alphaville pervade Pierre Clementi’s wild\, hypnotic\, and visually overpowering IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUE RASCAL\, a monument of Parisian Underground Cinema.

They’ve all been woven together to make PSYCHOTRONIC AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL\, a handmade 16mm program packed with AV gems from the 1970s and 80s. Assembled from the 16mm collection of Portland film archivist Greg Hamilton\, this presentation borrows the best and worst from his film library with a locally grown taste for the absurd. Focused on bizzare educational films\, public service announcements and advertisements\, this culture mash-up takes the classroom film experience and sets it loose with plenty of bizarre and hilarious moments spliced together. \n\n\n\nFeaturing three special films: \n\n\n\nFUTURE SHOCK (1973) Orson Welles hosts this documentary examination of a future gone wrong. Part dystopian omen\, part educational film. \n\n\n\nEAT DRINK AND BE WARY (1975) Shoppers\, cooks\, children and critics express their views on American eating habits and processed foods. \n\n\n\nTHE GLUG (1981) This classic ’80s after-school special begins with a pre-teen beer-heist and subsequent drinking party\, but ends with young Tony’s dependency on alcohol.  \n\n\n\nBuy the ticket and take the ride with this one-of-a-kind media massacre projected in 16mm! \n\n\n\nCurated by Portland film archivist / programmer Greg Hamilton.

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 is Alberto Cavallone’s Surrealismo estremo at its finest\, told in darkly compelling vignettes of madness\, betrayal\, brutality\, sex and the grotesque.

Filmed with the crew and director ingesting LSD\, THE OTHER SIDE OF UNDERNEATH is Welsh iconoclast Jane Arden’s most mythic contribution to cinema. Composed of beautiful and frightening set-pieces\, and intricate visual design\, it’s a film that cuts extremely deep\, and is not soon forgotten!

Told in feverish metaphorical vignettes\, and accompanied by a raucous soundtrack by the Tokyo Kid Brothers\, it’s a film that tests the boundaries of film’s poetic possibilities.

After she fails to seduce John the Baptist\, she dances for the King in order to secure the execution of John. At least\, that seems to be the plot of this bewildering\, sustained psychedelic free-for-all\, a blizzard of gem colored lights\, feathers\, spankings and esoteric rituals designed to reduce narrative and structure\, and free the voice of the actor. SALOME is the untamed creative work of Carmelo Bene\, the enfant terrible of Italy’s avant-garde counter-culture! \n\n\n\n \n Director: Carmelo Bene\n Year: 1972\n Country: Italy\n Runtime: 73 minutes\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opz_kSXbVlY&ab_channel=ChurchofFilm URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/salome-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/salome.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230502T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230502T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T184446 CREATED:20230406T170847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230406T170849Z UID:10000892-1683054000-1683061200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:A/V Geeks: Now I Know Why You're Afraid DESCRIPTION:In honor of legendary film collector Dennis Nyback\, the A/V Geeks recreate one of his screenings with an unforgettable night of the educational films that traumatized Baby Boomer and Gen-X kids. Before the days of “trigger warnings\,” these films were designed to shock the audience with their messages! \n\n\n\nStep back in time with Duck and Cover (1951)\, a Department of Civil Defense film that showed Baby Boomer kids how to stay safe – while also reminding them of the ever-present danger of nuclear annihilation. \n\n\n\nOr experience the tragedy of Cipher In The Snow (1973)\, made by Brigham Young University\, which starts with a kid getting off the school bus and ends in a cautionary tale that warped an entire generation. \n\n\n\nTest your courage with Death Zones (1975)\, which illustrates the dangers of lingering around after getting off the school bus\, or All My Tomorrows (1979)\, which cautions viewers about the dangers of mixing downers and alcohol. \n\n\n\nAnd don’t forget to be scared of dentists with Toothache of a Clown (1972)\, which shows a clown who has frightening hallucinatory dreams of children dentists. Don’t miss this chance to explore the past and learn why Baby Boomers and GenXers are so neurotic! \n\n\n\nThese psychically damaging 16mm films have been lovingly scanned for this digital presentation\, but A/V Geeks Skip Elsheimer will be present to show you a filmstrip and to give you a hug\, if you need one.

But as random tragedies and strange circumstances beset the village\, it seems everyone in town is convinced that the scarecrow possesses supernatural powers. Alone in disavowing the influence of the spectre in the field\, Abdollah attempts to gather a resistance. \n\n\n\nTHE TALL SHADOW OF THE WINDS is a legendary piece of the Iranian New Wave that weaves revolutionary political allegory into shades of folk horror and uncanny surrealism.

The unlikely reunion of the two friends forces Seyed to reflect on what has become of him\, while the police draw nearer to Ghodrat. \n\n\n\nTHE DEER is the most revolutionary film of the Iranian New Wave\, censored innumerable times and banned to this day in Iran. For the first time it has been restored to its full length and with its original ending!

Whether seen as an exacting character study or one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time\, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing\, compelling movie experiment\, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades. \n\n\n\nVoted the greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade poll. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Chantal Akerman\n Year: 1975\n Country: Belgium\, France\n Runtime: 201 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/jeanne-dielman-23-quai-du-commerce-1080-bruxelles/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/jd.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230318T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230318T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T184449 CREATED:20230228T024314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T024315Z UID:10000868-1679166000-1679173200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Working Girls DESCRIPTION:Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive\, richly detailed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession. \n\n\n\nInspired by the experiences of the sex workers Borden met while making her underground feminist landmark Born in Flames\, Working Girls reveals the textures of a day in the life of Molly (Louise Smith)\, a photographer working part-time in a Manhattan brothel\, as she juggles a steady stream of clients\, balances relationships with her coworkers with the demands of an ambitious madam\, and above all fights to maintain her sense of self in a business in which the line between the personal and the professional is all too easily blurred. \n\n\n\nIn viewing prostitution through the lens of labor\, Borden boldly desensationalizes the subject\, offering an empathetic\, humanizing\, often humorous depiction of women for whom this work is just another day at the office. \n\n\n\nNew 4K restoration by the Criterion Collection and UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with Sundance Institute. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Lizzie Borden\n Year: 1986\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 91 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/working-girls/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/working-girls.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230315T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230315T220000 DTSTAMP:20260525T184449 CREATED:20230224T040920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230224T040921Z UID:10000864-1678910400-1678917600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Very Late Afternoon of the Faun (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:A fading Lothario and bureaucrat plies his rapidly diminishing charms on Prague’s young women\, and in the process confronts the spectre of Death!

Believing the world to be “spoiled\,” they embark on a series of pranks in which nothing—food\, clothes\, men\, war—is taken seriously.
