Friday Film Club: Still Life
Our third Friday Film Club revolves around the concept of the still life. We present this theme through the lens of works that use compressed or real-time temporal storytelling strategies— fascinating in their narrative economy and focus on the small details that make up our day-to-day lives. Friday Film Club screenings are presented monthly when the Portland Art Museum’s galleries are open late on Friday evenings. Each screening is accompanied by a post-film discussion led by Film Center staff and Art Museum docents, in which a work from the Art Museum galleries is utilized to spark dialogue and debate about the film. Special Admission: $5. Friday, September 9, 5:30 pm Run Lola Run, Germany, 1998

Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare
With well over over 400 film and TV adaptations made of his works—over 80 of Hamlet alone—William Shakespeare is credited as being the world’s most filmed author. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare presents “unconventional” Acinematic Tale of Love adaptations and Darkness of Shakespeare’s plays— seventeen films spanning eight countries and seven decades of filmmaking. Freed from restrictions to a certain time, location, or even language, the filmmakers in this series have created works that both reflect and transcend their immediate cultural origins. Bringing together well-known classics alongside lesserseen adaptations, Bending the Bard celebrates these unique, inventive films as well as the powerful way in which Shakespeare’s universal stories have become a shared global language.

Print the Legend
Film artists throughout the 20th and 21st centuries have, in many ways, grappled with the power of the mass media and its effects on the political and social sphere. With the relatively recent rise of Internet-based social media, we are experiencing new forms of news reportage, opinion, collective action, and the leverage of data in our everyday lives. But before this digital revolution, crucial public outlets such as newspapers, television, newsreels, and radio disseminated information one-directionally. Cinema has always had a strange, contentious relationship with the mainstream press, and so with Print the Legend, we look back not only at classic film examples of the mass media’s portrayal of politics in the US, but also some of our favorite explicitly or implicitly political films that have resonated deeply with audiences over the years and which have often provided perspectives that the neither the media nor the people are normally able to access. With a focus on films that satirize the political sphere or the machinations of the media, Print the Legend seeks to be an antidote to and critical lens on the 24-hour news cycle. Take a break from the smartphone, be with others, laugh, cry, and consider a different perspective on the mediated theater of political reality, even just for two hours.

Looking, Really Looking! The Films of Chantal Akerman
Looking, Really Looking! The Films of Chantal Akerman surveys the work of the influential, groundbreaking Belgian/French filmmaker and places it within a conceptual, thematic, and historical context at the intersection of film and contemporary art. Presenting us with a deeply autobiographical filmography that spans forty years—typically portrayed in long takes within the modest aesthetics of everyday life and often revolving around her personal family history, identity, memory, and displacement—Akerman (1950-2015) is often placed within feminist, queer, Jewish, and avant-garde circles, yet her expansive oeuvre freely moves across genres from the documentary/essay to the musical, psychodrama, structural film, and multi-media installation. Akerman, fiercely independent and always working outside established production systems, was “a paradoxical personality, at once rootless and deeply rooted,” and, in the end, “arguably the most important European film director of her generation.”—J. Hoberman. Looking, Really Looking!, a film and performative program, is presented by the Northwest Film Center and Zena Zezza, a Portland-based contemporary art project, and is curated by Sandra Percival and Morgen Ruff. The program picks up following four screenings earlier this year and continues intermittently through May 2017. All screenings with English subtitles. All films Friday, October 7, 7 pm directed by Chantal Akerman unless otherwise noted. Histoires d’Amérique (Food, Family, and
New Scandinavian Cinema
As regular Northwest Film Center attendees know—from recent retrospectives of Swedish directors Roy Andersson and Reuben Östlund to the continuing Nordic treasures premiering in the Portland International Film Festival each year— Scandinavian film remains one of cinema’s great founts of creativity. While a few of the most exciting dramas, comedies, and thrillers from Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland find scattered commercial distribution in the United States, most never make it to Portland screens. We hope this showcase of recent films offers partial remedy and discovery. Special thanks the Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish Film Institutes for their assistance in organizing this celebration. Our thanks also go to the Scandinavian Heritage Foundation, Portland for their sponsorship of the series. Friday, October 21, 7 pm In Front of Others, Iceland, 2015

Voices in Action: Human Rights on Film
For many committed makers and viewers, film is a vital medium of information and engagement and a powerful tool for social action. Tackling wide-ranging, thought-provoking issues, activist filmmakers help deepen our awareness of injustice and the values of dignity and equality as they tell universal stories of struggle and triumph. We hope these informative and inspirational films both broaden understanding and stimulate involvement as they reveal the commitment, experience, and courage of hearts and minds focused on challenges that touch us all.
