His latest special ‘Jokes from the Underground’ was just included in the New York Times ‘Best Comedy of 2022’\, where critic Jason Zinoman called it the funniest YouTube Special of the year\, and said ‘his punchy and deliriously funny club comedy made me laugh after second and third viewings.’ He recently taped his third special at The Comedy Cellar that will be on Sam Morril’s YouTube Channel in January. \n\n\n\nRaanan premiered his latest solo show OFF THE GRID in the New York International Fringe Festival\, which was called ‘One of the best one-man shows you are likely to see anywhere’ by Hy Bender in bestnewyorkcomedy.com. \n\n\n\nThe show features ADAM PASI\, one of the most popular comedians in the PNW.

Additionally\, the film has not been released on home video. When asked why Passing Through could only be seen through theatrical exhibitions\, Clark stated that he wanted to keep it that way so that the film would be seen in the right format and with a communal audience. He also expressed his disappointment at how films often look on home video formats\, and he emphasized he did not want the film to be compromised in similar fashion. Clark added he was under no commercial pressure to make more money through home distribution as the film had been self-financed. \n\n\n\nPassing Through was recently selected for the 2023 Library of Congress National Film Registry. The Clinton Street Theater is very honored to be one of the few places to screen this monumentally important film thanks to the approval of Larry Clark\, who has also provided a slideshow of selected painting that will be shown before the film. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Larry Clark\n Year: 1977\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 104 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/passing-through/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/passing-through.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240203T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240203T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T074336 CREATED:20240114T212547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240114T213754Z UID:10001243-1706986800-1706994000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Portland Premier: In The Dirt DESCRIPTION:IN THE DIRT is a documentary film about a group of passionate Native American cyclists who attempt to bring the sport of mountain biking to the Navajo Nation\, where no bike shops exist. \n\n\n\nIn 2018\, retired pro cyclist Scott Nydam and his family moved to Gallup\, New Mexico to pursue a healthcare job for his wife. Soon after their arrival\, Scott began meeting passionate mountain bikers across the 28\,000-mile expanse of the Navajo Nation who loved the bike and wanted to bring the sport to their communities. The only problem is no bike shops existed. Through a grassroots native-led effort\, this group of dedicated cyclists and their families have overcome countless odds to build a cycling culture that today has become the fastest-growing recreational sport on the Navajo Nation.

George (St. John) is a cop in Washington\, DC\, and he’s proud to be one of the few Black officers on the force. Unfortunately\, not everyone feels the same. When George is overlooked for a promotion\, he loses his handhold on reality and launches a personal vendetta against street crime. That is\, when he’s not visiting alternate galaxies as an astronaut in his tripped-out dreams. \n\n\n\nOriginally billed as an American blaxploitation flick\, St. John’s film was nominated for the Gold Bear award at the 1972 Berlin Film Festival and is being seen in a new light as a proto-avant-garde work ahead of its time. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Christopher St. John\n Year: 1972\n Country: USA\n Runtime: 94 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/top-of-the-heap/ CATEGORIES:bhm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/top-of-the-heap-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240209T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240209T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T074336 CREATED:20240104T014232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240104T014233Z UID:10001237-1707505200-1707512400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Retro with XO Presents: Shock Show DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7pm\, Show at 8pm \n\n\n\n21+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCelebrate horror classics from the 1970s – 2001 with an incredible cast of Portland drag talent!
