Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly aura make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in the half-glam\, half-decrepit fantasy world of Smoczynska’s imagining. \n\n\n\nIn a visceral twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s original Little Mermaid tale\, one sister falls for a human\, and as the bonds of sisterhood are tested\, the lines between love and survival get blurred. \n\n\n\n A savage coming-of-age fairytale with a catchy new-wave soundtrack\, lavishly grimy sets\, and outrageous musical numbers\, The Lure explores its themes of sexuality\, exploitation\, and the compromises of adulthood with energy and originality. \n\n\n\nDirector: Agnieszka SmoczyńskaCountry: PolandYear: 2015Runtime: 92 minutes\n\n\n\n\nIt’s got teen romance\, misandry\, cannibalism\, and synchronized dancing – what’s not to love? Dahlia Balcazar\, Bitch Media\n\n\n\nThe Lure is remarkable not just for its zaniness but for its willingness to let girls be girls. It’s not a luxury often afforded to female characters\, especially not in horror\, and it’s especially notable as the male characters are either food or flakes.

But the film itself is far from serious—instead\, it’s a witches’ brew of the scary\, gross\, and darkly humorous. \n\n\n\n100 year anniversary screening! \n\n\n\n \n Director: Benjamin Christensen\n Year: 1922\n Country: Denmark\n Runtime: 105 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/haxan/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/haxan.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221001T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221001T180000 DTSTAMP:20260704T235318 CREATED:20220812T190849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220818T054205Z UID:10000557-1664640000-1664647200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Chopping Mall DESCRIPTION:Producer Julie Corman (SATURDAY THE 14TH) and director Jim Wynorski (THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING) put the pedal to the metal for CHOPPING MALL\, a joyous hybrid of FRIDAY THE 13TH and DAWN OF THE DEAD . . . with robots!

In their fourth feature\, Earth II (2021)\, the ABU sets their sights on climate collapse\, scouring the past four decades of disaster movies and combining them into an action-packed analysis of Hollywood’s pathological climate grief. \n\n\n\n\nEarth\, present day. With human civilization facing ever-worsening climate calamities\, the captains of industry set their sights on a new planet. Soon\, a secret public-private partnership is selling tickets to Mars at a premium out of reach for the majority of the population\, for whom the choice is either indentured servitude in the new offworld colony or perishing in the coming cataclysm. When the world’s governments decide to speed things up by declaring war on Earth and the rabble they’re leaving behind\, the planet forges a strategic alliance with an unlikely partner: an underground luddite movement. \n\n\n\nSome will join the uprising\, others will become fanatical defenders of entrenched power structures\, while yet others will do everything in their power to continue living exactly the same way they always have. \n\n\n\nIts star-studded cast and astronomical production values — painstakingly purloined from some of the biggest blockbusters of the past three decades — make Earth II the most expensive climate disaster epic to be produced for no money. \n\n\n\nStarring Keanu Reeves\, Will Smith\, and Matt Damon\, Earth II reminds us that no matter how far into its final death spiral our species might be\, life finds a way.

MANHATTAN SHORT is the only event of its kind. The Final Ten screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period\, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. By virtue of their selection by MANHATTAN SHORT\, each short film is automatically Oscar-qualified. \n\n\n\nThe Final Ten MANHATTAN SHORT finalists hail from eight countries with films from Scotland\, Czech & Slovakia\, Spain\, Australia\, Finland and Lebanon\, alongside two films each from France and USA. These Final Ten Films represent the best short films from among 870 submissions from 70 countries received by MANHATTAN SHORT for 2022\, testimony to the enduring vibrancy and creativity of short films worldwide. \n\n\n\nIf the 10 short films presented by MANHATTAN SHORT have one common theme\, it’s how people deal with adversity in its various forms. Short films like The Blanket\, Freedom Swimmer and Freefall explore how individuals react when caught up in large-scale\, traumatic events. Adversity on a more personal level is the focus of short films like Warsha\, Fetish\, The Big Green and Love\, Dad. Sometimes\, the response is laughable\, as in Save the Bees and The Treatment\, especially when even the universe seems to be against you\, as in Don vs Lightning. \n\n\n\nHow these stories are told is varied as the directors that tell them.
