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. (CW: a chicken is killed on a farm\, incest\, sexually violent themes) URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/spell-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Spell-poster-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230517T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230517T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T161715 CREATED:20230430T024753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230430T024754Z UID:10000931-1684350000-1684357200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Other Side of Underneath (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:A group therapy session for institutionalized women streams into haunting\, surreal and unbelievable scenes that uncover the role of patriarchal power\, repression\, and violence in the psychic revolt of women. 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\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:20260525T161715 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 film was released shortly after the Iranian Revolution and promptly banned. \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIUi4L3EK1o URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-tall-shadows-of-the-wind-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/tall-shadows.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230420T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230420T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T161715 CREATED:20230328T035828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230328T035829Z UID:10000886-1682017200-1682024400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Blessings Movie Night Presents: Robocop 2 with Live Score DESCRIPTION:Portland artist Eatcho and musician Alex Meltzer (of Korgy & Bass) bring a dynamite event to the theater for an unforgettable 420! \n\n\n\nCyborg Detroit policeman Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is the sole officer on duty after the police force goes on strike against evil conglomerate Omni Consumer Products and its push to foreclose on the city of Detroit. Murphy takes on crime boss Cain (Tom Noonan)\, the spread of a dangerous new drug called Nuke\, and psychologist Dr. Juliette Faxx (Belinda Bauer)\, who’s creating another Robocop using a hardened criminal. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is not a typical screening.

He finds Seyed\, the man who taught him everything he knows about standing up for his principles and on behalf of the vulnerable–but Seyed is a shadow of his former self\, a hopeless addict and loser\, living in the slums. 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! The ending rewritten and shot at the behest of the Pahlavi censors will also be included after the film for comparison.  \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEyGzIa_IIA URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-deer-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/the-deer.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230412T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230412T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T161715 CREATED:20230326T204717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230326T204718Z UID:10000883-1681326000-1681333200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Cow (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:In a remote area of Iran almost untouched by the centuries\, Mashdi Hassan owns the village’s only cow. He cherishes the animal as his greatest love\, the source of all of his pride and happiness. But when nearby bandits target the village and Hassan’s cow\, he is overwhelmed by sympathy for the animal—until he himself is turned into a cow. \n\n\n\nTHE COW is widely considered the masterpiece of the Iranian New Wave\, a symbolic drama so beautiful that even the Ayatollah Khomeini would not ban it\, even as its author Gholām-Hossein Sā’edi was exiled. THE COW has been meticulously restored in Iran for the first time since its 1969 release\, so come see one of the greatest monuments in film history! \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ck4T4rAHU8 URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-cow-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/the-cow.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230405T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230405T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T161715 CREATED:20230326T204218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230326T204219Z UID:10000882-1680721200-1680728400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Before the Revolution: Film & Poetry in Iran (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:A collection of poetic pieces that launched the Iranian New Wave! This program includes a set of beautiful work from the Golestan Film Workshop\, the first independent film studio in Iran. \n\n\n\nEbrahim Golestan\, together with his creative partner the poet Forugh Farrokhzad\, created masterful\, subversive film poems such as A FIRE and THE HOUSE IS BLACK–transforming a towering inferno into a modern dragon\, a monster of modernization in the former\, and weaving a poem of existential compassion out of a leper colony in the latter. \n\n\n\nAlso included will be Golestan’s THE CROWN JEWELS OF IRAN\, with some of its censored elements restored.
