They want a child. And… that’s pretty much the plot. THE OTHERS is a unique entry in the Sapphic genre most notable for what it isn’t: No tales of debauchery\, corruption\, or tragedy. Just the quiet (did I say very fashionable yet?) lesbian couple next door building a family. This portrayal ironically attracted the attention and ire of the censors and condemned the film to obscurity.

Markus is torn between the love for his grandmothers in need of care and the longing for a different life in Berlin. A crowd of shimmering demons keeps appearing in his daydreams.

So\, when he falls in love with Duc things get even more complicated. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Johannes Maria Schmit\n Year: 2020\n Country: Germany\n Runtime: 82 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/neubau/ CATEGORIES:german ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/neubau.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230612T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230612T210000 DTSTAMP:20260701T212232 CREATED:20230421T235300Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230421T235301Z UID:10000918-1686596400-1686603600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Art & Pep DESCRIPTION:The first state to decriminalize homosexuality\, Illinois was on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic\, anti-discrimination laws and marriage equality. But long before government officials would utter the words “HIV\,” it was gay bars that transformed into community centers and became ground zero in the fight. \n\n\n\nSidetrack opened in 1982 and with Art Johnston and Pepe Peña at the helm\, it went from a 900-square-foot windowless watering hole to a pillar of Chicago’s gay business district\, spanning over eight storefronts and multiple levels. Art and Pep have watched as the politicians who once would have them jailed now court the community for votes. The space has become a source of political and financial support for LGBTQ+ rights. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Mercedes Kane\n Year: 2022\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 88 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/art-pep/ CATEGORIES:discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/art-and-pep.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230611T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230611T180000 DTSTAMP:20260701T212233 CREATED:20230527T182729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230603T155223Z UID:10000953-1686484800-1686506400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Portland Horror Film Festival DESCRIPTION:The Final day of horrors!

In this new hour of material\, Brandie points her trademark whimsical\, yet fierce storytelling style towards her love of dogs\, 12 foot skeletons & the triumph that is aging into a person your younger self would think is rad as hell!  \n\n\n\nBrandie has chosen Portland to record in because of how amazing the audiences have always been to her\, and is excited to work with Kickstand Comedy\, an organization that shares her values & brings the same DIY energy to every project. She is excited to perform at the historic Clinton Street Theater\, as she has worn just about as many hats in entertainment as its hallowed halls. \n\n\n\nThe recording of Posey’s last album Opinion Cave was listed by Comedy Cake as one of 2015’s Most Memorable Stand Up Comedy Moments.  \n\n\n\n“Huddled in the back of a comic shop in Ventura about an hour north of Los Angeles\, punk rock comedian Brandie Posey proceeded to make magic while she recorded her debut comedy album… Posey’s stories are equally an intimate affair and a pure riot.

I can’t wait to re-live it.” \n\n\n\n\n**Kickstand Comedy strives to eliminate barriers from comedy – a portion of seats at every Kickstand show are pay-what-you-want at the door. \n\n\n\nKickstand Comedy is a 501c3 nonprofit theater that seeks to serve the needs of our community—providing programming and educational outreach that helps people laugh\, connect\, and thrive together.

Join us for an afternoon of low lives and high strangeness! \n\n\n\n“Portland Expose” is a Poverty Row film noir from 1957\, based on a LIFE magazine article about Senate hearings on organized crime and labor corruption in the City of Roses. Banned at the time from screening within a 30-mile radius of Portland\, it’s a schlocky\, sinsational story of pushers\, pimps\, and pinball hustlers!“Unhinged” is a 1982 slasher flick made by locals and filmed after hours at the Pittock Mansion–with Gus Van Sant serving as a location stout. Deemed a video nasty by UK censors\, it’s an exemplary work of scuzzy\, sleazy sinema\, made the Weird Portland way.

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.
