This Is My Last Film About You. DESCRIPTION:Portland visual artist Eatcho and music ensemble Whisper Circuit join forces for this month’s Blessings Movie Night with an original live score to Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese’s 2019 documentary. \n\n\n\nOn the dusty streets of Lesotho\, people stare at a young lady who carries a wooden cross on her back. She looks back at their faces. Taking the form of an extended poetic letter to the protagonist’s mother and motherland\, the film shifts its focus and perspective between Lesotho\, a tiny nation in Southern Africa\, and Germany where the director lives. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is not a typical screening. An improvised live score will accompany the film. Remember to be kind and chill.  \n\n\n\n \n Director: Jeremiah Mosese\n Year: 2019\n Country: Lesotho\n Runtime: 76 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/blessings-mother/ CATEGORIES:animation,music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Mother-I-am-Suffocating-poster.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250815T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250815T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250718T213315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250721T170153Z UID:10001922-1755284400-1755291600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Mandy DESCRIPTION:Special screening to help raise money for Goat Witch Goods! \n\n\n\nThe enchanted lives of a couple (Nicolas Cage & Andrea Riseborough) in a secluded forest are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen\, propelling a man into a spiraling\, surreal rampage of vengeance. \n\n\n\n\nDirector: Panos Cosmatos\n\n\n\nCountry: USA\n\n\n\nYear: 2018\n\n\n\nRuntime: 121 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/mandy-4/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Sade-Mandy-Poster.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250816T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250816T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250718T162259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250718T162302Z UID:10001918-1755370800-1755378000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Accendino DESCRIPTION:Seattle’s instrumental garage jazz group Accendino comes to the theater for a special\, one night only live performance! \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30 PM\, performance at 7:00 PM.

When he misses his bus back to civilization\, he is persuaded to spend the night in the home of a young widow (Kyoko Kishida) who lives in a hut at the bottom of a sand dune. What results is one of cinema’s most bristling\, unnerving\, and palpably erotic battles of the sexes\, as well as a nightmarish depiction of everyday Sisyphean struggle anchored by a haunting score from Tōru Takemitsu. \n\n\n\nHiroshi Teshigahara is the first person of Asian descent to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director\, and his masterpiece has been hailed by everyone from Andrei Tarkovsky to Roger Ebert as one of the greatest films of all time. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Hiroshi Teshigahara\n Year: 1964\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 147 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/woman-in-the-dunes/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/woman-in-the-dunes-poster-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250819T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250819T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250706T054048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250706T054049Z UID:10001901-1755630000-1755637200@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Crazy Family DESCRIPTION:Portland premiere of the new\, director-approved restoration from the original negatives! \n\n\n\nPart of the Hanabi Film Festival\, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films. \n\n\n\nHaving recently relocated his family from a cramped apartment in Tokyo\, to a spacious suburban home\, Katsuhiko Kobayashi is hellbent on keeping his picture-perfect idea of middle-class success alive. But\, when the new house suddenly begins to rot from the inside\, Katsuhiko’s mind deteriorates with it and his family soon join him in their own rapid descent into madness. \n\n\n\nAll notions of what it means to be a normal family are dropped into a blender and warped to hell in Gakuryū Ishii’s classic 1984 deconstruction of the nuclear household. From the cyberpunk godfather of Crazy Thunder Road and August in the Water\, this underrated gem falls somewhere between the masterful work of Yasujirō Ozu and Takashi Miike. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Gakuryû Ishii\n Year: 1984\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 106 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-crazy-family/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/The-Crazy-Family-poster.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250820T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250820T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250803T063728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250803T063729Z UID:10001947-1755716400-1755723600@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:RED ARMY/PFLP: DECLARATION OF WORLD WAR (1971) DESCRIPTION:A snapshot in time of a resistance\, and an alliance: The Japanese Red Army (JRA) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In Spring of 1971\, Fusako Shigenobu moved the guerrilla Red Army from Japan to Lebanon to fight for the Palestinian resistance\, and months later filmmakers Masao Adachi and Koji Wakamatsu followed her to record. \n\n\n\nPart explosive agit-prop\, part moody landscape document of a people living in anticipation of violence and revolution\, RED ARMY/PFLP: DECLARATION OF WORLD WAR is perhaps the most notorious newsreel ever made. After its release and self-distribution\, Masao Adachi abandoned film and joined the Red Army himself in Lebanon for 28 years.

A young sculptor is spared the wrath of a murderous snow spirit under the condition he reveal her to no one\, but he faces unknowable temptation when a mysterious woman arrives at his door needing shelter. \n\n\n\nCombining incredible production design and powerful tragedy\, Tokuzō Tanaka—best known for his work on the Zatoichi series and as assistant director to Akira Kurosawa on Rashomon—deserves wider acclaim for creating one of the most beautiful Yuki Onna stories ever filmed. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Tokuzō Tanaka\n Year: 1969\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 79 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-snow-woman/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/the-snow-woman-poster.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250822T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250822T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250706T055248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250811T223112Z UID:10001903-1755889200-1755896400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Bushido DESCRIPTION:Portland premiere of a new film from Japan! \n\n\n\nPart of the Hanabi Film Festival\, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films. \n\n\n\nKakunoshin Yanagida was a samurai\, who was forced out of the Han due to a false accusation. He then lived in poverty with his daughter Kinu. Despite being poor\, he never gave up his pride and honor that he held as a samurai. Even when playing the board game Go\, which is his hobby\, he always plays in a fair manner. Because of a case\, the truth behind the false accusation is revealed. Kakunoshin is shaken and filled with rage. He decides to take revenge\, even if it means he will be torn from his daughter. \n\n\n\nA new film and the first samurai period piece from industry veteran Kazuya Shiraishi\, the celebrated director of The Blood of Wolves. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles.As a special treat SakéOne will be offering limited complimentary sake tastings to the first few people through the doors and selling a selection of bottles to take home\, including their Naginata\, G50\, Moonstone Plum\, and Momokawa Pearl varieties\, along with Murai Family Sugidama imported from Hachinohe.SakéOne is Oregon’s only sake brewery and the nation’s largest importer of Japanese sake\, leading the way in specializing in American Craft Premium sake with passion\, tradition\, and innovation. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Kazuya Shiraishi\n Year: 2024\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 129 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/bushido/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BUSHIDO_POSTER.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250823T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250823T170000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250707T170542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250707T232720Z UID:10001915-1755961200-1755968400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Asako I & II DESCRIPTION:Part of the Hanabi Film Festival\, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films. \n\n\n\nA mysterious and intoxicating pop romance\, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to the acclaimed Happy Hour begins with Asako\, a young woman who meets and falls madly in love with a drifter\, Baku\, who one day drifts right out of her life. Two years later\, working in Tokyo\, Asako sees Baku again — or\, rather\, a young\, solid businessman named Ryohei who bears a striking resemblance to her old flame. They begin to build a happy life together until traces of Asako’s past start to resurface. \n\n\n\nReleased before his international breakthrough\, the Academy Award-nominated Drive My Car\, Hamaguchi’s adaptation is based on the novel Netemo Sametemo by Tomoka Shibasaki and first debuted in Oregon at the 2019 Portland International Film Festival. We’re excited to bring back this rarely-screen work from one of Japan’s most celebrated modern directors. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Ryûsuke Hamaguchi\n Year: 2018\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 119 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/asako-i-ii/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Asako-poster.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250823T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250823T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T094823 CREATED:20250706T060229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250706T060230Z UID:10001904-1755975600-1755982800@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Friends DESCRIPTION:Portland premiere of the new 4K restoration! \n\n\n\nPart of the Hanabi Film Festival\, running select days Aug. 18 – 31. Limited festival passes available for access to all films. \n\n\n\nIt’s the dog days of summer vacation. Up to no good\, a group of three wily young friends discover a decrepit house and the old coot who lives there all alone. They begin to spy on him\, expecting to find his corpse when he dies. But soon\, as they learn the sad story behind his present wretchedness\, the boys develop a touching bond with the old-timer. They even help replant his overgrown garden. \n\n\n\nShinji Somai’s follow-up to his acclaimed Moving is a comic spectacle of movement and play and a stirring contemplation on time’s ravages and delights. Evoking other preteen anarchist masterpieces like Typhoon Club (also screening at this year’s Hanabi Film Festival) and P.P. Rider\, the film is a testament to Somai’s singular ability to enter into the unruly world of children\, using his liberated long takes to stir up the energies of a raucous ensemble of first-time performers. \n\n\n\nWe’re excited to bring a brand new restoration of this beloved Japanese film to Portland on the same weekend that it debuts in North America at New York’s Lincoln Center before receiving a wider release. \n\n\n\nScreened in Japanese with English subtitles. \n\n\n\n \n Director: Shinji Sômai\n Year: 1994\n Country: Japan\n Runtime: 113 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/the-friends/ CATEGORIES:hanabi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/the-friends-poster-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
