Spectrum Between: Fred Camper's Suicide Note

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 12/11/2026 - 03:24

Best known for his long tenure as film critic for the Chicago Reader, Fred Camper’s work as a filmmaker has gone largely unseen until very recently. Suicide Note is Camper’s sole feature-length film, and though it was completed in 1984, it screened publicly only three times, at galleries and microcinemas on super-8 workprints. Recently restored on 16mm by the Chicago Film Society, the film received a proper premiere earlier in October at the New York Film Festival, and we are excited to bring it to Portland!

Illuminated Hours: 16mm Films By Nathaniel Dorsky & Jerome Hiler

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 22/01/2026 - 03:27

Calling all romantics, stoners, and formalists! We’re showing a split program dedicated to Dorsky and Hiler, two legends of avant-garde cinema known for their meticulously constructed works of abstract beauty. As partners for more than six decades, they have exerted a profound influence on one another, and so it’s no surprise that they share a number of artistic sensibilities (“polyvalent” theories of montage; sensitivity to the effects of changing seasons; a reverential approach wherein “film itself” might take on “the spirit or experience of religion”).

Spectrum Between presents: Textual Film

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 01/12/2025 - 08:17

This 16mm program features four films engaged variously with ideas of "text-as-image." Whereas Chaplin and Murnau once rejected silent era intertitling practices as "unfilmic," these filmmakers explore how text on screen could be just the opposite. Proposing self-consciously literal responses to longstanding scholarly questions about "film language," these conceptual works are as playful and comedic as they are formally rigorous.
