Many thanks to the @hollywoodtheatre.org, Jon Raymond, Stephen Rutledge, and everyone who made the PCA's first-ever screening a sellout! A watershed night for our organization, no doubt. Up next from us—our annual awards are less than a month away!

The first @portlandcritics.bsky.social screening at @hollywoodtheatre.org was a success! We screened DRUGSTORE COWBOY on 35mm, followed by a Q&A. Hope to attend many more PCA screenings in the future. #pca #portlandcriticsassociation #hollywoodtheatre #hollywoodtheatrepdx #drugstorecowboy

Took a trip to @moviemadness.org to see the new @portlandcritics.bsky.social shelf with a recommendation from yours truly! Be sure to go check out the PCA shelf while it’s up and rent a movie or ten.

Thank you for the sacred space, @moviemadness.org! Right now, our members are highlighting the debut films of great directors. Swing by!

Big one here, gang. This list is the culmination of many things—8 years of reporting on local film, diving into Oregon film history during the pandemic, getting obsessed with Kelly Reichardt (though anyone can and should do that.) Thanks for the space, WW.
