THE EXPERIENCE
Put your sneakers on and dance on down to the Tomorrow Theater for one of the most iconic displays of futuristic sneakers in cinema, presented in celebration of PAM’s Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks exhibition.
This 1989 sequel managed to correctly predict numerous technological changes that would come to fruition 26 years later, including smart home technology, video chat systems, hands-free video games, and tablet computers with fingerprint scanners. The Nike Air Mag, depicted in Back to the Future II became an actual, self-lacing shoe in 2008, created by footwear innovators Tinker Hatfield and Tiffany Beers.
ON SCREEN: Back to the Future Part II
1989. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Runtime: 108 minutes. Rated PG.
Getting back was only the beginning as the most spectacular time-travel adventure ever continues in Back to the Future Part II—the sequel that proves that lightning can strike twice!
Picking up precisely where they left off, Marty and Doc (Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) launch themselves to the year 2015 to fine-tune the future and inadvertently disrupt the space-time continuum. Now their only chance to fix the present is by going back to 1955 all over again before it is too late.
This screening is sponsored by Woodlark Hotel Portland.
