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:20260430T021724 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.

A harrowing and remarkable drama\, LITTLE GIRL OF HANOI was miraculously shot during the final year of the US invasion of Vietnam. \n\n\n\nPraised for its exquisite visual style and emotional rawness\, it’s a scathing indictment of the devastation wrought by the war. It also contains sequences from Vietnam Animation Studio\, the first of its kind in the country! \n\n\n\nIncluded will be two remaining short pieces by the studio\, the scathing anti-Imperialist THE TALKING STARLING (1967) and the comic LETTERS (1968).

Initially finding herself at odds with her surroundings\, Emma eventually gains acceptance from a local drug dealer. But when he’s arrested and jailed\, she plans a daring bank robbery to bail him out. Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals and shot entirely on location in Watts\, this uniquely subversive action film is an insider’s view of Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nFanaka was part of the L.A. Rebellion film movement along side luminaries like Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep) and Larry Clark (Passing Through). Unlike his counterparts more concerned with artistic ideology\, Fanaka embraced more traditional avenues of Hollywood distribution\, riding the wave of Blaxploitation into the 1980s.  \n\n\n\nNevertheless\, UCLA film archivist Jacqueline Stewart wrote: “Emma Mae’s proficiency in kicking ass echoes traits found in super-mama heroines populating other character-named films of this Blaxploitation era (e.g.\, Foxy Brown\, Coffy\, Cleopatra Jones)\, not surprising given Fanaka’s successful aspiration to distribute this student film theatrically. But Emma Mae is not presented as an impossibly glamorous vixen. To the contrary\, her plain looks and shy demeanor seem to necessitate her physical and emotional strength\, particularly when dealing with those who mistakenly underestimate her. Fanaka reverses the formula. Emma Mae’s broken romance\, and her L.A. family’s stumble from bourgeois status\, forge a powerful sisterly bond virtually absent from Blaxploitation fare.” URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/emma-mae/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/emma-mae-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250216T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250216T210000 DTSTAMP:20260430T021727 CREATED:20241228T055911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241228T055913Z UID:10001662-1739732400-1739739600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Ray DESCRIPTION:The story of the life and career of the legendary rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles (Academy Award Best Actor Jamie Foxx)\, from his humble beginnings in the South\, where he went blind at age seven\, to his meteoric rise to stardom.
