It’s as if the glory days of the 1990s never ended in this techno-fueled rave across the German countryside. Arne Feldhusen directs this hysterical and charming road trip through Germany’s mid-1990s club scene, co-starring Detlev Buck, Annika Meier and Marc Hosemann.

Movies on the darker side of life and death brought to you by Projekt Records.

Projekt is a Portland, Oregon-based independent record label that specializes in darkwave, ambient, and shoegaze, started by Sam Rosenthal in 1983. Projekt is also known for releases in the gothic rock, ethereal, dream-pop, and dark cabaret genres.

In the annals of movie profanity, this movie would rate an Oscar, but it's actually pretty sweet at heart, although never sentimental. And if you don't believe me, you know what you can do.

Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald

Best of all, it plugs into -- and electrifies -- the mostly unacknowledged grimness that lies just beneath our holiday cheer.

"So Bad, It's Rad!!!!" is a music/movie night with a cheesy, trashy 80s flick and a set or two from Rad Max, a hard-edged trash pop band from Portland, OR.

Disreputably fun... just about the best low-budget movie about killer robots destroying a shopping mall that can ever be produced.

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy

The Be It Yourself nights, while fully audience directed, are designed to be more family friendly and for those eager to have their first Rocky experience. Watch a cool little video about BIY Nights HERE.

Beer, wine and hard cider available for those 21 and over. Prop bags for sale - preshow with virgin games and MC Nathan!!!

Dark Crystal is a miraculous rush of innovation and storytelling patience, and, in the last 25 years, the film has grown from a 1982 misfire, to a cult wonder, to a bona-fide classic that's timeless in stature and masterful in execution.

Tonight's nonprofit partner is p:ear, an organization that builds positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education, art and recreation to affirm personal worth and create more meaningful and healthier lives.

On any given day in Portland, there are hundreds of homeless youth on the street. For the individuals affected, homelessness is personally devastating. For our community, the financial and opportunity costs are infinite. Together, as a community, we can work together to create solutions. We can effect lasting, systemic change.

At p:ear, our work starts with the realities of today. It ends when young people find and embrace tomorrow. Our beauty—our core essence—is in everything in between. It’s in the kids, their daily experience, their struggles, and triumphs. It’s in their journey. We believe every homeless youth has a future.

And we believe that together we can change lives.

We know it’s possible. How? Our p:ear youth show us every day. At p:ear, we meet today’s needs. We offer love, build trust, and create hope. And then, through mentorship and experience, we support youth on their journey to tomorrow.

The Clinton has been showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show weekly since 1978, making it one of the longest running movies in the world! Come on down and join us any Saturday night at midnight (doors open at 11:30pm).

Ticket price includes service fee.

"I first saw Rocky Horror when I was 9 years old, and it blew my mind and changed my life. I made my mom take me and my 6 year old sister to see it in West Hollywood, bless her heart. They called all the virgins on stage, so we went. "Do you want to get me arrested, kid? Sit back down." As a freshman at Reed, I took my dorm mates to see it for their first time. So glad for your uninterrupted commitment to educating today's youth." Nili Yosha

Storytellers “Leap Into The New” Jan. 4 at Clinton St. Theater

Have you ever tried something new even if it meant risk a leap into the unknown? Or do you always look before you leap?

Mike Devenney, Kitty Kaping, Kriya Kaping and Anne Penfound count themselves among the risk-takers — and they are ready to tell you about some of their adventures Saturday evening, January 4 at the Clinton Street Theater in “Leap Into the New,” the first Portland Storytellers Guild show of the new year. They will share true tales of how a jump, a dive into the depths, a passport to a new world and a misstep led to life-altering experiences.

Doors open at 7 and the stories start at 7:30.

Remembering James, a 60 minute concert show starring Broadway World Nominee Dedrick Weathersby, takes you back in time to 1968.

Accompanied by a six-piece band, songs include “Please Please,” “Papa's Got a Brand New Bag,” “Cold Sweat,” “I Feel Good,” “Say It Loud I’m Black and I’m Proud,” and many more.

Come join us for an experience you don't want to miss.
