"The effect of 'Andrei Rublev' is elemental; the camera prowls among earth-clogged roots, pursues the flaming torches of pagan roisterers as they run, unclothed, into the embrace of a river, and hitches a breathless ride into the air, in a primitive balloon. You may dread being ground down by this extraordinary film, but fear not. It will bear you aloft."
-- Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 11/9" is a provocative and comedic look at the times in which we live. It will explore the two most important questions of the Trump Era: How the f**k did we get here, and how the f**k do we get out? It's the film to see before it's too late.
MICHAEL MOORE'S
FAHRENHEIT 11/9
Documentary; In English; 120 minutes; 2018
"If you stick with the movie, it starts to acquire a potent chill. Because 'Fahrenheit 11/9' is truly about something, and that's Michael Moore's fearless perception that what's going on in our government today is more sinister than even a lot of liberals think. Moore captures how the groundwork is being laid for a full-scale destruction of democracy."

BASED ON A TRUE STORY
Vienna, 1777. Maria Theresia ("Resi") Paradis, 18 years old, is blind, and a pianist of remarkable talent. Resi lost her eyesight literally overnight when she was three. After countless failed medical experiments, her overprotective parents seek out a controversial "miracle doctor" Franz Anton Mesmer, as their last hope for a cure. Mesmer's treatments seem to have almost immediate success. However, Resi soon notices that as her sight is beginning to return, her musical virtuosity is declining.

An 8 week film studies course presented by Oregon State University, taught by film scholar Elliot Lavine.
THE NEW HOLLYWOOD: Revolution in American Cinema, 1967-1974
After thirty years of strict enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code, Hollywood finally, in the mid-1960s, triumphantly smashed the shackles of censorship and proudly proclaimed its independence from the Puritanical constraints that had defined the very nature of commercial American moviemaking. Filmmakers like Mike Nichols, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and William Friedkin helped re-invent American cinema during this creatively rambunctious period and were now among the ruling members of the New Hollywood.
Eight classes: $99.
The eight films to be screened:
1. THE GRADUATE (1967; Mike Nichols) Sept 26
2. POINT BLANK (1967; John Boorman) Oct 3
3. THE SWIMMER (1968; Frank Perry) Oct 10
4. PETULIA (1968; Richard Lester ) Oct 17
5. THE FRENCH CONNECTION ('71; William Friedkin) Oct 24
6. BADLANDS (1973; Terrence Malick) Oct 31
7. THE CONVERSATION (1973; Francis Ford Coppola) Nov 7
8. THE LONG GOODBYE (1973; Robert Altman) Nov 14
Showing: Sept. 26-Nov. 14.

An 8 week film studies course presented by Oregon State University, taught by film scholar Elliot Lavine
FILM NOIR AND THE PRIMACY OF THE VISUAL
FILM NOIR, as a dominant and influential cinematic style, first exploded across American movie screens in 1940. And almost immediately, Hollywood studios seized upon this exciting new direction for crime films -- a dramatically startling combination of German Expressionist cinema of the 1920s and French poetic realism films of the 30s, blended into a harshly modern cocktail of chiaroscuro lighting, psychologically aberrant behavior, and the unmistakable feeling that Fate (or some other mysterious force) would inevitably play a role in the final outcome. The films selected for this eight-week class represent the cream of the 1940s crop of noir films.
Eight classes: $99.
The eight films to be screened:
1. I WAKE UP SCREAMING (1941; H. Bruce Humberstone) Sept 29
2. PHANTOM LADY (1944; Robert Siodmak) Oct 6
3. DETOUR (1945; Edgar G. Ulmer) Oct 13
4. SCARLET STREET (1945; Fritz Lang) Oct 20
5. OUT OF THE PAST (1947; Jacques Tourneur) Oct 27
6. NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947; Edmond Goulding) Nov 3
7. THEY LIVE BY NIGHT (1948; Nicholas Ray) Nov 10
8. RAW DEAL (1948; Anthony Mann) Nov 17
Showing: September 29-November 17

Writer, director, cinematographer, editor, and star Matteo Troncone begins this fascinating and philosophical first-person travelogue with no job, no relationship, and no home.
While living in his VW van on the streets of San Francisco, he decides there is only one thing to do: trace his roots to Naples and learn the secret of Neapolitan pizza.
Once there, he discovers the art of arrangiarsi, the process of arranging yourself to make something from nothing. We meet a colorful crew of characters, from street artists to pizza makers, who find a way to live and love in the most joyful ways, regardless of circumstance.
This delightful film combines a healthy smattering of foodie passion, little-known Italian history, and quirky Neapolitans to tell the tale of one man's journey to find himself...and the greatest pizza on earth.
