JULY 31 - AUGUST 2
Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it. Shooting on a 16mm Bolex camera and constructing all the sound in post, Mark Jenkin writes, directs, edits and scores a haunting and hallucinatory time-travel mystery that further solidifies him as one of the most distinct, singular artists working in film today. With ROSE OF NEVADA Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.

PINK FLAMINGOS
John Waters
- 93 minutes
- English
AUGUST 7 - 8
John Waters made bad taste perversely transcendent with the forever shocking counterculture sensation PINK FLAMINGOS, his most infamous and daring cinematic transgression. Outré diva Divine is iconic as the wanted criminal hiding out with her family of degenerates in a trailer outside Baltimore while reveling in her tabloid notoriety as the “Filthiest Person Alive.” When a pair of sociopaths (Mink Stole and David Lochary) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to impregnate them attempt to challenge her title, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the word “filth.” Incest, cannibalism, shrimping, and film history’s most legendary gross-out ending—Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability.

MALTESE FALCON
John Huston
- 100 minutes
- English
AUGUST 8 - 9
THE MALTESE FALCON is more than a film—it’s a turning point. Released in 1941, it marked the debut of John Huston as a director, redefined the Hollywood detective genre, and helped solidify Humphrey Bogart as the ultimate hard-boiled antihero. Detective Sam Spade (Bogart) gets more than he bargained for when he takes a case brought to him by a beautiful but secretive woman (Mary Astor). Trouble follows as Sam becomes entangled in a dangerous web of crime and intrigue. With its shadowy aesthetics, morally ambiguous characters, and serpentine plot, it laid the foundation for what would become known as film noir. Adapted from Dashiell Hammett’s gritty 1930 novel, THE MALTESE FALCON is a masterclass in dialogue, pacing, and atmosphere—one of those rare films where nearly every scene, every line, every look, is doing work.

PLANKTON WAT and
VIK WHISTLE
an evening of experimental live music and film
Tuesday, August 18
Steadfast in the pursuit of musical transcendence, Portland musician Dewey Mahood is one of the most versatile and prolific musicians in the modern psychedelic underground. As PLANKTON WAT (Thrill Jockey Records), he has explored the outer reaches of folk and synthesized drift since the mid-aughts, and his fluid compositions apply ethereal, elastic textures to grounded rhythmic grooves that recall the cosmic and the earthly in equal measure. For this show Mahood contours his melodic guitar playing into wholly transfiguring pieces to accompany classic experimental films from pioneering, seminal underground filmmaker MAYA DEREN.
Chico’s VIK WHISLE shares the evening with new experimental/psych music and video.
Tickets for this special event are $15 - walk up at the door, day of show (no advance tickets). Doors open 7:30 show 8pm.
SORCERER
William Friedkin
- 90 minutes
- 1977
- English
AUGUST 21 - 22
A hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin’s pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognized decades later as one of the New Hollywood’s boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream’s otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.

ANIMAL CRACKERS
Victor Heerman
- 97 minutes
- 1930
- English
AUGUST 22 - 23
The pre-Code Marx Brothers comedy ANIMAL CRACKERS is an outrageous satire of aristocratic, high society, an endless anarchic lampoon of the old Gilded Age ruling class. The well-known explorer and hunter Captain Spaulding has just returned from Africa, and is being welcomed home with a lavish party at the estate of influential society matron Mrs. Rittenhouse when a valuable painting goes missing. The intrepid Captain Spaulding attempts to solve the crime with the help of his silly secretary Horatio Jamison, while sparring with the anarchic Signor Emanuel Ravelli and his nutty sidekick The Professor. The film's anarchistic humor and surrealist elements forever influenced comedy filmmaking and earned praise from avant-garde critics such as Antonin Artaud and filmmakers like François Truffaut and Jim Jarmusch. Hooray, hooray, hooray!

SLEEPBOMB live score to FRANKENSTEIN (1931)
Thursday, August 27
SLEEPBOMB is a San Francisco-based cinematic post-metal/doom project focused on full, original scores for genre films. Ranging from heavy doom riffs to dreamy shoegaze, dark soundscapes punctuated with shimmering guitar and ethereal vocals, SLEEPBOMB has been exploring experimental sounds and forms informed by fellow travelers Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sunn 0))), Ulver and Swans, among others. Settling on a drone influenced style of post/doom metal as the overarching theme while exploring other genres as appropriate for the film’s particular style, they bring their new live score to the groundbreaking 1931 horror film FRANKENSTEIN. The film's innovative special effects, atmospheric direction, and Boris Karloff's sympathetic portrayal of the Monster made it a critical and commercial success, influencing the horror genre and popular culture significantly. A singular live musical experience that re-contextualizes this classic film.
Tickets for this special event are $20 - walk up at the door, day of show (no advance tickets). Doors open 7:30 show 8pm.
