She begins to make her journey toward living her life authentically. Catalonian Anarchist Vicente Aranda’s SEX CHANGE cut through decades of exploitation and cliches to make this frank\, researched\, and sympathetic portrait.

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. Being there I felt like I was in on one of the raddest secrets in comedy\, but I know that even more people will know Brandie Posey soon enough when the album drops in 2016. 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.

When Margaret’s husband dies\, Edith reunites with her twin — but only to seek revenge. Killing her sister and stealing her identity\, Edith has everyone convinced she’s really Margaret.
