FILM DESCRIPTIONS AND TRAILERS AT NWFILM.ORG
Magic & Loss: Coming of Age Onscreen (ML)
In literary theory, the Bildungsroman is a novel in which we witness the formation of an individual who undergoes a profound change due to knowledge gained through experience. Generally speaking, the protagonist in such works is a young member of society and the shift in consciousness that occurs during the story will transform them and hasten their advancement into adult understanding of the world in which they live. With Magic & Loss: Coming of Age Onscreen, we present a collection of films from around the globe intended to draw parallels between the literary convention of the Bildungsroman and the celebrated coming-of-age narrative as it exists in the cinema. Since coming-of-age stories are historically among the most commonly produced in the film industry of any country, our attempt is not intended to be viewed as a comprehensive overview, rather a concentrated journey through a theme as expressed by some of the greatest visionaries of the cinema.

Looking, Really Looking! The Films of Chantal Akerman (CA)
Looking, Really Looking! The Films of Chantal Akerman 1968-2015 is a film and performative program which surveys the work of the Belgian/French artist and filmmaker Chantal Akerman and places it within a conceptual, thematic, and historical context at the intersection of film and contemporary art. Akerman, whose work defies easy categorization, is often placed within feminist, queer, Jewish, and avant-garde circles, yet her oeuvre moves across genres from fiction to documentary/essay, to musical, to multi-media installations. Akerman (1950-2015) presents us with complexities and doubts in a body of work that spans forty years and revolves around her personal family history, identity, memory, and displacement, often portrayed in long takes within the modest aesthetics of everyday life. “Dialogues” brings together theory, scholarship, and Akerman’s artistic practice in performative and discursive events, staged reading performances and music events with leading thinkers, artists, curators, writers, actors, musicians and guests from other fields. Looking, Really Looking! is presented by the Northwest Film Center and Zena Zezza, a Portlandbased contemporary art project, and is curated by Sandra Percival and Morgen Ruff. The project commenced in June 2016 and runs through May 2017. All films are directed by Chantal Akerman and screen with English subtitles.

Constructing Identity: Black Cinema Then and Now
April 1–June 11 Constructing Identity: Black Cinema Then and Now is a collaborative, retrospective series of films that explore the paradigm of resistance against the dominant culture and define the African-American narrative through the artistry of Black filmmakers. Mirroring the development and flowering of 20th and 21st century Black and African-American art practice, the history of this cinema is a testament to the visionaries, rebels and pioneers that were willing and able to tell it like it is. Featuring key works by critical figures like Julie Dash, Charles Burnett, Kathleen Collins, and Spencer Williams—among many other notable filmmakers—this series seeks to upend the idea that historically (most pointedly within the Hollywood studio system), Black bodies have been relegated to be either background figures or racist caricatures. Here, African-American identity is foregrounded through the representation of lived experience; in addition, the films included embody and explore the Black gaze through sole focus on work made by Black filmmakers. Presented in conjunction with the Portland Art Museum’s Constructing Identity exhibition, and programmed by André Middleton, Mia Ferm, and Morgen Ruff. Find the full program details at nwfilm.org.
An in-depth, probing, and sensitive look at migration specifically centered around the deserts of Arizona and the Mexican states of Agua Prieta and Sonora, which Akerman approaches with a characteristically nuanced perspective.

Alaskan Native Wisdom: The People of the Caribou, Oregon, 2016
Czech filmmakers have long been recognized for their innovative contributions to international cinema. The legacy of the Czech New Wave, the period of stylistic experimentation and social critique that accompanied political and social reforms in mid-1960s Czechoslovakia and included such acclaimed directors as Miloš Forman, Ivan Passer, Jiří Menzel, and Jan Nemec, still resonates in a new generation of voices offering skilled takes on diverse genres from comedy to gritty realist drama, from stylish period thrillers to animation, and more. They share, however, a deft eye for lyric beauty and absurdist humor even in the most mundane or difficult circumstances as they probe social and economic conditions and questions of Czech identity and culture. We are pleased to open the series with the new film by celebrated director Jan Hrebejk, who will be on hand to talk about his work. Hrebejk, known for mixing humor, irony and humanity in equal measure, brings his satirical skills to bear on a meditation about making moral choices—a film that impressively adds to a body of work that includes Divided We Fall (2000), Up and Down (2004), Beauty in Trouble (2006), and Kawasaki’s Rose (2009), Honeymoon (2013) and The Icing (2014), all of which screened in past years in the Portland International Film Festival. The Northwest Film Center presents this selection of influential and emerging voices in Czech cinema in conjunction with the nationally touring program Czech That Film, organized by the Embassy of the Czech Republic, Washington, D.C.; Consulate General of the Czech Republic, Los Angeles; Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences; Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic, Portland; and the Czech Society of Oregon. Special thanks to Lasvit, R. Jeliner, Milk & Honey Films, Progue Studios, Pilsner CZECH Urquell, and Pavol Šepelák, Consul General of the Czech Republic in Los Angeles, for THAT FILM making these films’ presentation in Portland possible.
