Labor and money are abolished. Production stops. Consumption stops. Markets stop. Governments stop. Now people work only to fulfill their needs\, and use only what they need. Consumer goods are museum pieces\, the earth is a common land and garden\, and wage labor is a barbaric\, faintly remembered past. Somewhere\, counter-revolutionaries gather stacks of money\, now useless paper\, hoping one day it will again be charged with significance and elevate them to the status of lords. This is a report from the first year of a liberated world! Jacques Doillon’s YEAR 01 (with contributing pieces by Left Bank luminaries Alain Resnais and Jean Rouch) is a serio-comic Utopia\, a series of imaginative sketches based on the philosophies behind the tumult of May ’68 and the Situationist International.

It is a love letter to education. The former Secretary of Labor might be famous for his public service\, best-selling books\, and viral social media posts\, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now\, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40\,000 students\, Reich is preparing for his last class.  \n\n\n\nOver the course of the film\, Reich confronts the impending finality\, and his own aging\, with increasing candor\, introspection\, and\, ultimately\, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics\, he uses his class\, “Wealth and Poverty\,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s\, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society.  \n\n\n\nOne thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus\, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring.

The film’s tapestry of folklore and metaphor based on Armenian culture\, told through the story of the eighteenth-century troubadour Sayat-Nova\, departed from the realism that dominated the Soviet cinema of its era\, leading authorities to block its distribution. \n\n\n\nParajanov was a closeted bisexual\, which exposed him to increased legal scrutiny from Soviet authorities over his personal life\, his films\, and political involvement surrounding Ukrainian nationalism. In December 1973\, he was arrested in Kyiv\, and was accused of homosexuality\, sodomy\, and propagation of pornography. He was sentenced to five years in a hard labor camp despite international outcry from artists such as Andrei Tarkovsky\, Robert De Niro\, Francis Ford Coppola\, Martin Scorsese\, Jean-Luc Godard\, François Truffaut\, Luis Buñuel\, Federico Fellini\, and John Updike. Today\, his films have inspired a new generation of filmmakers and musicians\, including Madonna\, R.E.M.\, and Lady Gaga. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Sergei Parajanov\n Year: 1969\n Country: Soviet Union\n Runtime: 78 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-color-of-pomegranates/ CATEGORIES:pride ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/the-color-of-pomegranates-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250623T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250623T210000 DTSTAMP:20260429T055406 CREATED:20250517T172442Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250517T172443Z UID:10001850-1750705200-1750712400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Union the Film DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary UNION! \n\n\n\nUNION chronicles the extraordinary efforts of an unlikely group of warehouse workers\, including Chris Smalls\, as they launch a grassroots union campaign at an Amazon fulfillment center in Staten Island\, New York. \n\n\n\nProceeds from this viewing go directly to Strike For Our Rights’ strike fund\, supporting striking workers fighting for living wages and equity\, like those in this film. \n\n\n\nHere’s what some striking workers have said about our work: \n\n\n\n“The strike assistance impacted my life in a huge way. It gave me some relief and hope that I could make it. I don’t have family so I have no one to ask for support and having this as a resource is beyond amazing. Words can’t really describe how it affected me\, but it truly was life saving.” – Kristin F. (IATSE) \n\n\n\n“Because of your support I was able to stay current on my rent that month.” – Jess (IAW) \n\n\n\n“Please if you can spare anything to help assist with the strike fund it would be greatly appreciated. Being on strike is such a scary time in life. I’m currently on strike and my stress level is sky high. I’m a single parent with no other income.” – L.S. (CWA) \n\n\n\n“Unless you’ve been through a strike\, you don’t know what it’s like. It’s mentally and physically challenging\, every bit of support helps.” – Mr. Jones (Local 36g) \n\n\n\nStrike For Our Rights is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to support\, organize\, and promoting striking as a means of advocating for justice\, equity\, and systemic change.
