George (St. John) is a cop in Washington\, DC\, and he’s proud to be one of the few Black officers on the force. Unfortunately\, not everyone feels the same. When George is overlooked for a promotion\, he loses his handhold on reality and launches a personal vendetta against street crime. That is\, when he’s not visiting alternate galaxies as an astronaut in his tripped-out dreams. \n\n\n\nOriginally billed as an American blaxploitation flick\, St. John’s film was nominated for the Gold Bear award at the 1972 Berlin Film Festival and is being seen in a new light as a proto-avant-garde work ahead of its time. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Christopher St. John\n Year: 1972\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 94 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/top-of-the-heap/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/top-of-the-heap-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240207T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240207T210000 DTSTAMP:20260630T060912 CREATED:20240131T043017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240131T043018Z UID:10001259-1707332400-1707339600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:SARRAOUNIA (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:At the end of the 19th century\, Queen of the Azna people\, the warrior and sorceress Sarraounia earns the devotion of her people\, and gathers allies to battle the oncoming scourge of the brutal French colonial army. \n\n\n\nBased on the true story of Sarraounia Mangou\, constructed from oral histories\, and largely self-financed and shot in Burkina-Faso\, with SARRAOUNIA Med Hondo made an anti-colonial\, African epic on a size and scale that rivaled any major studio work.

Soon after their arrival\, Scott began meeting passionate mountain bikers across the 28\,000-mile expanse of the Navajo Nation who loved the bike and wanted to bring the sport to their communities. The only problem is no bike shops existed. Through a grassroots native-led effort\, this group of dedicated cyclists and their families have overcome countless odds to build a cycling culture that today has become the fastest-growing recreational sport on the Navajo Nation.

Additionally\, the film has not been released on home video. When asked why Passing Through could only be seen through theatrical exhibitions\, Clark stated that he wanted to keep it that way so that the film would be seen in the right format and with a communal audience. He also expressed his disappointment at how films often look on home video formats\, and he emphasized he did not want the film to be compromised in similar fashion. Clark added he was under no commercial pressure to make more money through home distribution as the film had been self-financed. \n\n\n\nPassing Through was recently selected for the 2023 Library of Congress National Film Registry. The Clinton Street Theater is very honored to be one of the few places to screen this monumentally important film thanks to the approval of Larry Clark\, who has also provided a slideshow of selected painting that will be shown before the film. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Larry Clark\n Year: 1977\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 104 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/passing-through/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/passing-through.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240201T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240201T210000 DTSTAMP:20260630T060912 CREATED:20231213T005549Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231213T005550Z UID:10001219-1706815800-1706821200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:D&D Comedy Presents: Raanan Hershberg DESCRIPTION:RAANAN HERSHBERG is currently one of the fastest-rising comedians on the New York scene and a regular at the world-famous Comedy Cellar. In fact\, last year The New York Times called him “the next great practitioner of New York club comedy.”\n\n\n\nRaanan has performed his high-energy\, joke-packed comedy on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\, The Late\, Late Show with James Corden\, and Comedy Central.

And not just any old music\, but simply amazing\, genetically-matched singing and musicianship. They quickly bring to mind the rich tradition of singing brother duets\, evoking such seminal duos as the Blue Sky Boys\, the Delmore Brothers\, and the Everly Brothers. And they take it up a notch\, because they’re not merely brothers\, but identical twins. And as musician and editor Paul Kotapish put it\, “They’re really ‘twinny’ twins.” \n\n\n\nTheir delightful repertoire spans Americana including rare fiddle tunes\, quirky novelty songs\, and swing classics\, all uniquely interpreted through their positive world view. They’ve shared their music for more than half a century\, teaching and performing at countless festivals and workshops\, and on radio and television. But delightful music is only part of the story. \n\n\n\nGreg and Jere have another unique characteristic—they are two of the happiest people you will ever meet. And their happiness is mysteriously contagious. Anyone finding themselves in close proximity to the twins\, might also find themselves caught up in a vortex of joy and optimism.  \n\n\n\nThis documentary spans their lifetime\, right up to the present day. You’ll appreciate their musical inspirations and tap into some of the secrets of their happiness. Singlers will better understand the mystical closeness of identical twins. And after it’s over\, we hope you’ll feel a little more joyful\, a bit happier. And can’t we all use a little bit more of that? \n\n\n\nVoted Audience Favorite Feature Documentary at the West Sound Film Festival! \n\n\n\nRecent reviews from audience members: \n\n\n\n“This is the absolute funniest\, most touching documentary on the planet!” \n\n\n\n“IMHO it was the most fascinating\, uplifting\, hilarious\, whimsical and deeply moving documentary ever!” \n\n\n\nMy heart is so full right now\, yet oddly it feels so much lighter than it did this morning.” URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/canote-twins/ CATEGORIES:documentary,film,music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/TheCanoteTwinsPoster_-fullres_small-web.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240114T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240114T210000 DTSTAMP:20260630T060912 CREATED:20231127T051809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231209T221126Z UID:10001202-1705258800-1705266000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Style Wars DESCRIPTION:Regarded as the indispensable document of New York Street culture of the early ’80s\, the film is record of a golden age of youthful creativity that exploded into the world from a city in crisis.
