Her erratic mood and default to self-destruct impacts all of her relationships\, as moments of levity erupt into violence and optimism simmers to despair. Bored with her slavish boyfriend\, she finds another; the novel excitement of it all soon devolving into a volatile predicament. Uncommitted and trapped in her own life\, Kana slowly makes her way towards the inner desert of her emotions. \n\n\n\nAlternating between claustrophobic blocking\, ample zooms and expressive whip-pans brought together by dryly comedic editing and an intense actor’s direction\, the sophomore effort from director Yoko Yamanaka (Amiko) provides a frank and dynamic examination of womanhood and mental health in contemporary Japan. Inspired by the female protagonists of Yasuzo Masumura (Blind Beast) as much as the intense Cassavetes/Rowlands collaboration\, Yamanaka breaks out with a work of stark confrontational honesty. \n\n\n\nWe’re excited to bring this new film to Oregon for the first time following its North American debut in New York\, L.A.\, and Montreal. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Yoko Yamanaka\n Year: 2024\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 137 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/desert-of-namibia/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Desert_of_Namibia_digital.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250831T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250831T170000 DTSTAMP:20260428T214810 CREATED:20250706T065949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250706T065951Z UID:10001912-1756652400-1756659600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Bold As You DESCRIPTION:Special U.S. premiere of a brand new film from Japan! \n\n\n\nPart of the Hanabi Film Festival\, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films. \n\n\n\nTamaki Nanjo\, a socially awkward young woman\, has always found her sanctuary in a small arthouse cinema with a unique lineup that sets it apart from mainstream multiplexes.

A work of raw\, elemental power\, it follows an ensemble of junior high students in a provincial town\, beset by a summer-y malaise as a typhoon looms. When the storm makes landfall\, the teens find themselves holed up in their school unsupervised\, while another classmate (Yuki Kudo) disappears alone on a harrowing trek to the big city. Set adrift in a world suddenly unmoored\, the students let loose their pent-up angst and burgeoning passions in a series of propulsive\, phantasmic scenes—part apocalypse\, part utopia—as the deluge rages on into the night. Observed in daring long takes\, director Somai gives material form to the students’ turbulent inner lives. When day breaks and the rains let up\, the youngsters open their eyes to a world in ruins—or a world renewed. The 10th best Japanese film of all time\, according to Japan’s Kinema Junpo poll. \n\n\n\n“I can say with absolute conviction that no Japanese filmmaker makes a film without being conscious of Shinji Somai’s existence.
