The Red Shoes
New 35mm print
Feb 12 - Feb 18
(Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, 1948, USA, 35mm, 133 min)
A Technicolor classic based on Hans Christian Andersen's tale of magic ballet slippers whose wearer cannot stop dancing, The Red Shoes tracks a ballerina's rise to the lead role in a ballet version of the well-known story.
"Watching The Red Shoes, whatever the quality, on the small screen is like drinking champagne, whatever the vintage, through a plastic straw. Catch it here now, and you will not just be seeing an old film made new; you will have your vision restored." —The New Yorker

Special Events
Film Challenge Screenings: One Roll of Super 8
February 24 at 8pm
This winter the Northwest Film Forum’s quarterly film challenge asks local filmmakers to pull out their super 8 cameras and make a film with a single roll of film. Films must be edited in camera, which means the film must be shot in sequential order. No editing allowed! The project is open to all levels of skills and experience.
Series
WTF? Wednesdays!
This quarter, Wednesdays in February are devoted to recent explorations in experimental cinema, focusing on three American filmmakers whose recent work represents major trends in durational cinema, hand-painted filmmaking and films that blur the line between abstract and documentary.
Programs
Don't miss our quarterly celebration of 60s and 70s soul music, featuring vintage performance footage on the big screen and djs and drinks in the cinema! Dancing in the aisles is encouraged!
