As tensions mount between rival yakuza clans\, one boss hires a formidable but ailing ronin as his clan’s muscle—while the other employs a humble\, moral blind masseur named Ichi. With its lightning-fast swordplay\, sleight-of-hand dice games\, and codes of honor upheld and betrayed\, this first chapter sets the stage for all the Zatoichi adventures to come. Shintaro Katsu brings author Kan Shimozawa’s blind swordsman to vivid life\, making the character excitingly\, indelibly his own. \n\n\n\nDirected by Kenji Misumi (LONE WOLF AND CUB)\, the first Zatoichi film was so popular that its sequel went into production the very same year.

Full festival passes available. \n\n\n\n\nThe last time Momo saw her father they had a fight—and now all she has left to remember him by is an incomplete letter\, a blank piece of paper penned with the words “Dear Momo\,” but nothing more. Moving with her mother to the remote Japanese island of Shio\, Momo soon discovers three yokai living in her attic\, a trio of mischievous spirit creatures that only she can see and who create mayhem in the tiny seaside community as she tries desperately to keep them hidden. But these funny monsters have a serious side and may hold the key to helping Momo discover what her father had been trying to tell her. \n\n\n\nFrom the creators of GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995)\, this hand-drawn animated feature took seven years to complete\, from the painstakingly rendered serenity of the island’s Shinto shrines to the climactic finale featuring thousands of squirming\, morphing ghosts and spirits. Lauded by critics as something both children and adults will fall in love with after seeing. \n\n\n\nPresented in Japanese language with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Hiroyuki Okiura\n Year: 2011\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 120 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/a-letter-to-momo/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/letter-to-momo.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230728T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230728T210000 DTSTAMP:20260701T123855 CREATED:20230609T221206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230609T221310Z UID:10000979-1690570800-1690578000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701 DESCRIPTION:Part of the Hanabi Japanese Festival running Monday\, July 24 through Monday\, August 7. Full festival passes available. \n\n\n\n\nThe first in a four-film Female Prisoner Scorpion cycle charts the vengeance of Nami Matsushima—a gullible\, unjustly imprisoned woman who must find a way to escape and exact revenge upon the man who betrayed her\, and who becomes an avatar of survival and an unlikely symbol of female resistance in a male-dominated world. \n\n\n\nFeaturing stunning pop-art compositions and ultra-violent outbursts\, the film has been described as “pure exploitation” by critics as is one of the best know examples of the “pinky violence” subgenre developed by Japanese film company Toei in the 1970s as a way to compete with the influx of American grindhouse. \n\n\n\nPresented in Japanese language with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n(CW: This film contains scenes that could be viewed as controversial\, offensive\, or even triggering.) \n\n\n\n \n Director: Yasuharu Hasebe\n Year: 1973\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 89 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/female-prisoner-scorpion-701/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/female-prisoner-scorpion.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230727T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230727T210000 DTSTAMP:20260701T123855 CREATED:20230609T221932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230609T221934Z UID:10000981-1690484400-1690491600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Ugetsu DESCRIPTION:Part of the Hanabi Japanese Festival running Monday\, July 24 through Monday\, August 7. Full festival passes available. \n\n\n\n\nRegarded as the masterwork of Japan’s Golden Age of Film\, UGETSU (1953)\, shortened from Ugetsu Monogatari—the title of Ueda Akinari’s 1776 book of the same name\, is credited with simultaneously helping to popularize Japanese cinema in the West and influencing later Japanese film. \n\n\n\nYounger directors like Akira Kurosawa fiercely revered director Kenji Mizoguchi\, who made more than 100 films between 1923 and 1956. \n\n\n\nIn this exquisite ghost story\, a fatalistic wartime tragedy derived from stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant\, the viewer is guided through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly\, the film reveals essential truths about the ravages of war\, the plight of women\, and the pride of men. \n\n\n\nNearly always included in any top 50 list among critics\, Roger Ebert called it “one of the greatest of all films\,” a sentiment echoed by directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Martin Scorsese. \n\n\n\nPresented in Japanese language with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Kenji Mizoguchi\n Year: 1953\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 96 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/ugetsu/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Ugetsu.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230726T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230726T210000 DTSTAMP:20260701T123855 CREATED:20230701T222923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230701T222924Z UID:10001020-1690398000-1690405200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Chizoku's Younger Sister (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:Mika’s older sister\, Chizoku\, died in a tragic accident a year ago\, sendering her family spiraling into grief. Shy and unsure of herself\, Mika is a lost girl… until the ghost of her sister appears.

Full festival passes available. \n\n\n\n\nCalled the “cyberpunk ERASERHEAD\,” Shinya Tsukamoto’s underground classic was virtually absent from theaters for decades as all physical releases were out of print. Now available in a brand new restoration\, the film is an unhinged metaphor of humankind’s ongoing battle with technology; literally\, as a man mutates into a walking\, clanking machine that terrorizes himself and everyone around him. \n\n\n\nWarping elements of early Cronenberg\, Lynch\, and Raimi into a deliriously-paced cocktail\, Tsukamoto’s body horror manifesto was largely ignored until it won Best Picture at 1989’s Fantafestival in Rome\, prompting sold out late-night screenings in its home country and helping kick start a new revival of independent film in Japan. \n\n\n\nFueled by techno-erotic adrenaline and wrought iron perversion\, the grueling 16mm production was finished almost entirely by the director and just two actors\, Kei Fujiwara and Shinya Tsukamoto. Today\, directors from Tarantino to The Wachowskis cite the film as a major influence. \n\n\n\nPresented in Japanese language with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n(CW: This film contains scenes that could be viewed as controversial\, offensive\, or even triggering.) \n\n\n\n \n Director: Shinya Tsukamoto\n Year: 1989\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 67 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/tetsuo-the-iron-man/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/tetsuo.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230723T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230723T173000 DTSTAMP:20260701T123855 CREATED:20220906T201619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230701T223648Z UID:10000594-1690129800-1690133400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Anti-Capitalism At Work: Finding a Good Job DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Marina Martinez-Bateman\, People-First Management Expert\, CEO\, New Coyote Consulting \n\n\n\n\nWhen we talk about being anti-capitalist\, what does that mean for the job hunt? No matter what else\, it’s our obligation to survive and thrive within a system that was not made for us. So what does an anti-capitalist look for in a job? What questions and criteria can we rely on to give us an idea of whether or not our new employer will either share our vision\, or at the very least be as minimally exploitative of our labor as possible? \n\n\n\nThis will be a digital and in-person facilitated conversation with the goal of helping us create stronger boundaries at work. We’ll open with a brief story that outlines the concept\, then we’ll use that to kick off a facilitated discussion focused on solutions and next steps the average worker can take in real-time.  \n\n\n\n\nAbout Marina: Marina Martinez-Bateman (they/them) is a serial entrepreneur and a grassroots communicator with more than 20 years’ experience motivating people to take action on behalf of political\, cultural\, and commercial interests.

As violence escalates on both sides\, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range\, women plant bombs in cafés\, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style\, the film is a case study in modern warfare\, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them.
