PAM CUT

Fresh Cut Flowers and PAM CUT have partnered to present “Night Blooming Jasmine,” a weekend-long special screening of David Lynch films. Celebrating the intersection of nature, beauty, mystery, and the surreal – Lynch’s distinctive visual language and ability to find the strange within the everyday closely align with the sensibility Fresh Cut Flowers brings to its work. Along with the screenings, they will release a small collection of Night Blooming Jasmine products.

We’re thrilled to announce the lineup for this year’s PLUS PLUS Festival of Tomorrow, returning for its third year November 19–22 to celebrate unbound artists who dissolve boundaries, defy easy categorization, and expand the notion of what’s possible in cinema and beyond.

PLUS PLUS features wildly imaginative programming for cultural snackers, including unbound cinema, comedy, performances, sound-driven and interactive storytelling, live animation, and other media arts, spread throughout two venues: PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater (3530 SE Division) and the Portland Art Museum’s Whitsell Auditorium (1219 SW Park).

Highlights include: the Portland premiere of LIGHTSCAPE by world-renowned multi-media artist Doug Aitken (Nov 22); a special live music/video game performance by Portland’s EMA (Nov 21); an evening of ‘90s “analogue ecstasy” hosted by music video legend and filmmaker Mark Pellington; a one-night-only evening of stand-up with Joel Kim Booster (Loot, Fire Island) (Nov 19); and an afternoon with MacArthur Fellows and multi-hyphenate storytellers Sterlin Harjo (Reservation Dogs, The Lowdown) and Reginald Dwayne Betts in a spirited discussion on the nature of “truthiness” (Nov 21).

New this year! PAM CUT introduces PLUS PLUS Bizarre Bazaar, a curated group of artists, publishers, exhibitors, community organizations, indie distributors, and creative collectives to help bring the market to life. Visitors will be able to browse and buy artist editions, books, comics, zines, physical media, prints, apparel, games, and more while meeting artists, filmmakers, publishers, and organizations from across the independent creative community. It will take place at the Portland Art Museum’s Mark Building (1119 SW Park) on Nov 21, and is free to attend.

Oct 2–4: Help us celebrate 10 Years of Portland Dance Film Festival!

Festival Picks (Oct 3) brings together eleven films from nine countries that show just how many ways dance can tell a story and where dance film is now. What ties these films together isn’t a single style or theme; it’s the exploration that movement can express something words can’t. Each filmmaker has a different voice, and that’s what makes watching them together so rewarding.

This year’s collection travels from Colombia, Norway, South Korea, France, Canada, Switzerland, Czechia, Argentina, and the USA, inviting us into eleven distinct worlds, all connected through the universal language of dance.

A few tickets left! Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie at The Whitsell. Sep 22, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.

Join us for the Portland Premiere of Irene Taylor‘s latest film, Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie. Following the screening, Irene Taylor will join us for a moderated Q&A.

While searching the internet one day, Hollywood veteran Marlee Matlin came upon the story of athlete Shelley Beattie – a fellow deaf woman whose life felt eerily like her own. Both women had experienced adventure and fame, but also discrimination, abuse, and addiction while navigating a hearing world. SIREN: THE VOICES OF SHELLEY BEATTIE explores the parallels between the two legendary women in a haunting portrait of strength, beauty, and resiliency.
