Tickets $15. Welcome to Movie Book Club—for anyone who loves movies, books, or simply having opinions about both. Hosted by author Margaret Malone, each session invites you to watch a literary adaptation and then stick around for a warm, lively, and lightly irreverent post-screening conversation. Bring your thoughts, your questions, your favorite passages, and your spiciest hot takes. Read the book if you want (gold star!). Or just show up for the movie (also gold star!). Either way, you’ll leave with new ideas, new questions, and maybe a new favorite character to lovingly overanalyze. Our inaugural Movie Book Club features Train Dreams, adapted from Denis Johnson’s novella of the same name.

Tickets $15. Returning to the Tomorrow Theater, the 2026 South Sound Experimental Film Festival ENCORE edition will present an evening of thought provoking, visually stimulating, and performative art making. The evening begins with a live soundtrack by musical artist Ceremonial Abyss to the 1972 short film Athanor by avant garde French director Philippe Garrel followed by an opportunity to explore a curated selection of books on film from Passages Book store. The evening culminates in a mesmerizing short film program bringing together artists from Portland and the Pacific Northwest, offering a cross-regional platform that celebrates the region's vibrant cultural landscape.  This program is always a treat for immersing one's self into a world of imaginative techniques and tellings. 

Tickets $15. Performance artist Ashley Yang-Thompson and author Jaydra Johnson lead a collaborative pimple porn presentation on the idea of "Cringe". Cringe has become a referent for overly earnest, uncool, or passe behavior. But what if cringe vulnerability is actually the path to freedom? In this collaborative presentation, Ashley and Jaydra will reach their handsdeep inside the belly of cringe, feel around in the viscera, and ultimately expose its guts. Through images, video, and readings of their work, they will trace the development of their understanding of cringe as a way of life and the apogee of artistic expression. They will even risk doing something as cringeworthy as quote David Foster Wallace when he says, "The new rebels might be artists willing to risk the yawn, the rolled eyes, the cool smile… who treat of plain, old, untrendy human troubles and emotions with reverence and conviction."  With musical guest Alex Wilson.
