PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater turns one on November 1st!
And we’re thrilled to announce the next great chapter of our dynamic, ever-changing story, PLUS PLUS.
Much like the theater itself that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with “cinema unbound” over 250 nights a year, our inaugural PLUS PLUS kicks off in November, flipping the script on traditional festivals focused on singular art forms. PLUS PLUS is created to meet the moment, celebrating multi-faceted, multi-media artists, storytellers and artists who explore and question what tomorrow brings in a myriad of creative ways.
This year’s theme, Better, Together, features twenty days of parties, screenings, talks, happenings and events curated around how to make sense of what the future may hold. Featuring twenty-five one-night-only experiences that combine at least two art forms every night – film, music, food, media arts, gaming and live storytelling alongside hands-on programs in self-care, family fun, and yes, beavers! – PLUS PLUS holds a unique space and place for artists and audiences not content to be contained to interact and be unlimited in their interests.
“Our mission is to change for whom, by whom and how cinematic stories are told – and to ensure that media arts are seen in our community and our world as ART with a capital A,”
— says Amy Dotson, director of PAM CUT and the Tomorrow Theater. “Now more than ever, the stories we tell bring us together, connect us and give us the building blocks to create something bigger and bolder than our individual selves. Collaborating and colliding – not labeling, siloing or boxing in – is the key to the future of storytelling and the future of Portland. Like the patron saint of the Tomorrow Theater David Bowie once said “tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming.”
