A world where he is Jim Hawkins from Robert Louis Stevenson’s TREASURE ISLAND! One of Chilean Surrealist Raul Ruiz’s dearest ambitions was to adapt the childrens’ classic for film\, and so he did\, with money from a big name American distributor and instructions not to deviate from the text. He deviated from all of it. Starring Anna Karina\, Jean-Pierre Leaud\, Martin Landau\, and pop singer Sheila\, Ruiz’s TREASURE ISLAND is a masterfully labyrinthine surrealist metatext\, and a full dynamite-charged brain-blown deconstruction of children’s literature and adventure cinema\, in a free-flowing logic of media and dreams.

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 URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/donkey-skin/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/donkey-skin.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240508T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240508T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T190411 CREATED:20240426T053310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240426T053312Z UID:10001381-1715194800-1715202000@cstpdx.com 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.

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).

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!

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.
