August 2nd - 7-10PM @ Clinton Street Theater
Sex Workers Film Series - Mutantes: Punk Porn Feminism


Is pornography an acceptable form of expression - and if so, can distinctions be drawn between different forms of pornography? 

This documentary raises all of these questions, seeking to provide the answers from the perspective of pro-sex feminism, which asserts that pornography must be wrested from patriarchal control, and that in the hands of women and sexual minorities, it can become a tool of liberation. 

Director Virginie Despentes (Baise-moi) takes a wide ranging look at the movement and maps the evolution of pro-sex, or "post-porn", from its pioneers like Annie Sprinkle to newer European work like Emilie Jouvet's Too Much Pussy!


August 7th - 6:30PM @ First Unitarian Church
Drones In Oregon: Myths, Facts and Futures



The use of drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is a controversial issue.  Most public discussion of drones has focused on military use.  Less attention has been paid to the expanding use of domestic drones. Oregon passed HB 2710, restricting public agency use of drones, but with no guidance on private use.

 

To help us understand the safefy and privacy concerns associated with drones, Oregonians for Drone Control is hosting a panel discussion moderated by Steve Duin between nationally known panelists - a retired US colonel, a drone industry leader, a national robotics expert, and an Oregon legislator - on the uses and limits on drone technology, and who should decide.

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T

 

 

 

Join us atop the Hotel deLuxe's parking structure at SW 15th and Yamhill for the Northwest Film Center's 10th annual program of cinema under the stars.

 

THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T.
DIRECTOR: ROY ROWLAND
US, 1953

 

The magnificently eccentric mind of Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) broke its children's literature leash to conjure up this outrageous delight. Young Bart Collins, living with his widowed mother, detests the piano lessons administered by tyrannical Dr. Terwilliker. Cue a dream sequence in which Bart is held captive with 499 other boys at the Terwilliker Institute, where they are all forced to practice piano 24 hours a day. Dr. T. has built a serpentine piano so large that it will take all their 5,000 fingers to play it, and the premiere concert is just days away! This cold war nightmare is a wild ride through childhood fears in a wigged-out world only Dr. Seuss could design. (89 mins.)

 

Music by Grand Style Orchestra

Medicarefully - Fabulous!

 

 

  

Wendy Westerwelle returns to triangle productions!, for a limited engagement, of her sold-out one woman show Medicarefully- Fabulous! The show is a series of original stories about aging, faith, friendships, recovery. How she sees her life, now in mid-60's; or as she calls it "the last part before I drop dead". Some of her old characters back: Zumi and Golda and some new ones like Soheila-her botox doctor. Medicare-fully Fabulous! is about the celebration of life after 65 - the world politics, sex, aging, facial hair, no sex drive, being Jewish, clothes and well...even food.

KBOO Wish List







We would love to have 12-24 conference chairs. Stackable is the important word. It's more important than wheels, and you can't have both. Gotta be comfy for those long meetings, meaning a fabric seat, not a hard material and we need them to be sturdy. We're tough on our chairs :}
To Donate email Bruce Silverman or call 503.231.8032.
