Join us for an afternoon of low lives and high strangeness! \n\n\n\n“Portland Expose” is a Poverty Row film noir from 1957\, based on a LIFE magazine article about Senate hearings on organized crime and labor corruption in the City of Roses. Banned at the time from screening within a 30-mile radius of Portland\, it’s a schlocky\, sinsational story of pushers\, pimps\, and pinball hustlers!“Unhinged” is a 1982 slasher flick made by locals and filmed after hours at the Pittock Mansion–with Gus Van Sant serving as a location stout. Deemed a video nasty by UK censors\, it’s an exemplary work of scuzzy\, sleazy sinema\, made the Weird Portland way.

In this new hour of material\, Brandie points her trademark whimsical\, yet fierce storytelling style towards her love of dogs\, 12 foot skeletons & the triumph that is aging into a person your younger self would think is rad as hell!  \n\n\n\nBrandie has chosen Portland to record in because of how amazing the audiences have always been to her\, and is excited to work with Kickstand Comedy\, an organization that shares her values & brings the same DIY energy to every project. She is excited to perform at the historic Clinton Street Theater\, as she has worn just about as many hats in entertainment as its hallowed halls. \n\n\n\nThe recording of Posey’s last album Opinion Cave was listed by Comedy Cake as one of 2015’s Most Memorable Stand Up Comedy Moments.  \n\n\n\n“Huddled in the back of a comic shop in Ventura about an hour north of Los Angeles\, punk rock comedian Brandie Posey proceeded to make magic while she recorded her debut comedy album… Posey’s stories are equally an intimate affair and a pure riot. Being there I felt like I was in on one of the raddest secrets in comedy\, but I know that even more people will know Brandie Posey soon enough when the album drops in 2016. I can’t wait to re-live it.” \n\n\n\n\n**Kickstand Comedy strives to eliminate barriers from comedy – a portion of seats at every Kickstand show are pay-what-you-want at the door. \n\n\n\nKickstand Comedy is a 501c3 nonprofit theater that seeks to serve the needs of our community—providing programming and educational outreach that helps people laugh\, connect\, and thrive together.

But long before government officials would utter the words “HIV\,” it was gay bars that transformed into community centers and became ground zero in the fight. \n\n\n\nSidetrack opened in 1982 and with Art Johnston and Pepe Peña at the helm\, it went from a 900-square-foot windowless watering hole to a pillar of Chicago’s gay business district\, spanning over eight storefronts and multiple levels. Art and Pep have watched as the politicians who once would have them jailed now court the community for votes. The space has become a source of political and financial support for LGBTQ+ rights. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Mercedes Kane\n Year: 2022\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 88 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/art-pep/ CATEGORIES:discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/art-and-pep.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230613T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230613T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T002949 CREATED:20221224T193259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230211T221544Z UID:10000737-1686682800-1686690000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Neubau DESCRIPTION:Summer in Brandenburg.

They want a child. And… that’s pretty much the plot. THE OTHERS is a unique entry in the Sapphic genre most notable for what it isn’t: No tales of debauchery\, corruption\, or tragedy. Just the quiet (did I say very fashionable yet?) lesbian couple next door building a family. This portrayal ironically attracted the attention and ire of the censors and condemned the film to obscurity.

Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong—when the country’s LGBT community suddenly faced an uncertain future—Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. \n\n\n\nShot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color\, Happy Together is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Wong Kar-wai\n Year: 1997\n Country: Hong Kong\n Runtime: 96 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/happy-together/ CATEGORIES:pride ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ht.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230627T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230627T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T002949 CREATED:20230502T034413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230502T034414Z UID:10000933-1687892400-1687899600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Violet Hex Presents: Dressed in Blue (Vestida de Azul) DESCRIPTION:One of the best trans films you’ve likely never heard of\, Antonio Giménez-Rico’s landmark 1983 documentary Dressed in Blue (Vestida de Azul) explores the lives and loves of a group of six transgender women living in Madrid in the years following Spain’s transition to democracy. But more than that\, it’s a loving portrait of a culture finally emerging from the shadows after being hidden for far too long. \n\n\n\nAntonio’s portrait of these women gave them the freedom to portray their own stories with their own friends & family\, but in a stylized scripted narrative framework with gorgeous cinematography by Teo Escamilla. \n\n\n\nThe stories of Eva\, Nacha\, Loren\, Josette\, Reneé\, & Tamara were never properly released outside of Spain and never available on home video\, but finally Altered Innocence and Anus Films is proud to present this vital testament to just how far we’ve come—and how far there’s still left to go. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Antonio Giménez Rico\n Year: 1983\n Country: Spain\n Runtime: 96 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/violet-hex-presents-dressed-in-blue-vestida-de-azul-2/ CATEGORIES:drag ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/dib.webp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
