Of course\, as the profit potential (and\, if I may\, the propaganda potential) increased\, men quickly came to dominate cinema and the landscape solidified to what it is now. However! The 16mm format falls at a very interesting juncture of accessibility and production value\, and so this is where you’ll find some of the most original and truly underground works of art to ever be committed to celluloid. \n\n\n\nJoin archivists Ioana and Garrett of Astral Projections for an evening of subversive feminine film from throughout the 20th century\, featuring selections from the Nyback Archive. You’ll see a documentary about women in experimental film\, an interview with the inimitable gardener Ruth Stout\, a satirical short about labor\, and so much more!

By turns playful\, philosophical\, and subtly political\, The Gleaners and I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who\, like her subjects\, finds unexpected richness where few think to look. \n\n\n\nPart of the Agnès Varda Forever Film Festival.

Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne is a pregnant country girl unable to support a third child. Pomme lends Suzanne the money for an illegal abortion\, but a sudden tragedy soon separates them. Ten years later\, they reunite at a demonstration and pledge to keep in touch via postcard\, as each of their lives is irrevocably changed by the women’s liberation movement. \n\n\n\nA buoyant hymn to sisterly solidarity rooted in the hard-won victories of a generation of women\, One Sings\, the Other Doesn’t is one of Agnès Varda’s warmest and most politically trenchant films\, a feminist musical for the ages. \n\n\n\nPart of the Agnès Varda Forever Film Festival.

Interspersing intimate footage of the older Demy reflecting on his life’s journey\, Jacquot de Nantes is a poignant love letter from one visionary artist to another. \n\n\n\nPart of the Agnès Varda Forever Film Festival.

There they lure men in and sacrifice them. \n\n\n\nWith entrancing desert photography\, and a blend of old pop and blues mixing indiscriminately with opera records\, WILLOW SPRINGS is a haunting\, bizarre\, morbid and darkly comical piece of German New Cinema from one of the movement’s most provocative queer icons. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Werner Schroeter\n Year: 1973\n Country: USA\, Germany\n Runtime: 78 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/willow-springs-church-of-film/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/willow-springs.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250304T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250304T210000 DTSTAMP:20260430T000932 CREATED:20250129T035051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250210T202142Z UID:10001704-1741114800-1741122000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Annual Fat Tuesday Celebration with Les Blank DESCRIPTION:Put on your beads and warm up the jambalaya\, we’re celebrating Mardi Gras with a special screening of the two Les Blank documentaries: DRY WOOD (1973)—an immersion in Southwest Louisiana’s Black Creole community that teems with delightful detail and ALWAYS FOR PLEASURE (1978)—a raucous tribute to the sights\, sounds\, and flavors of New Orleans.
