Just you, dozens of Voodoo donuts, bagels, and coffee, and some of this Cosmos's most renowned Weird fiction authors signing books and taking names. Provisions are limited, so get there early and enjoy your blasphemous treats while rediscovering the ancient art form of tree pulp inscribed with the ink of sea creatures!
21 and up. Pull up a stool at the Moon & Sixpence pub (2014 NE 42nd Ave, about 2 blocks from the theater) for a rousing round of strong ale* and hearty singing of classic Innsmouth tunes with the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society crew!
* Or whiskey, or wine, or whatever beverage you purchase for yourself at the bar.
Go get some grub, but be back at 6:30! The theater closes for cleaning.
Our annual "Iron Artist" style competition puts the best Lovecraftian artists head-to-head to create a completed masterpiece in only 90 minutes, based on surprise elements pulled out of a hat! It's a crazy rush to create amazing one-of-a-kind art. Each piece is auctioned off, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity (previous charities have included AnimalAid Portland, the Hollywood Theatre's Youth Film Education program, and the Hispanic Federation for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico). Through this competition, we have donated over $2500 to those in need.
Friday's screening of Short Film Block 1 will begin immediately after the Opening Night Gala.
Q&A with visiting filmmakers after the films.
