THE 10-MINUTE RULE
Seats for advance ticket and pass holders are held until 10 minutes before showtime, when any unfilled seats are released to the public. Thus, advance tickets or passes ensure that you will not have to wait in the ticket purchase line but do not guarantee a seat in the case of arrival after the 10-minute window has begun. Your early arrival also helps get screenings started promptly. We appreciate your understanding. Advance ticket holders who arrive within the 10-minute window but are not seated may exchange their tickets for another screening at the Ticket Outlet or obtain a cash refund at the theater. There are no refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or for missed screenings.

Sons of Samurai

As film critic Henry Sheehan of THE BOSTON PHOENIX pithily observes, "When a man is surrounded inside a burning house by a dozen heavily armed warriors and it's the warriors who are in trouble, you know you're watching a samurai movie." This selection of rarely seen samurai films, all presented in new 35mm prints, reveals the rich legacy of the samurai genre, a singular blend of artistry and entertainment that convey in the wild choreography of balletic battle, timeless reflections on honor, duty, loyalty, power and the meaning of life.

Hiroshi Teshigahara

Japanese Director, Hiroshi Teshigahara (1927 - 2001) lived a dozen artistic lives: sculptor, painter, opera director, interior designer, writer and master of traditional Japanese art forms. But it was his career as a filmmaker that brought him the most recognition. His small body of independently produced films broke cinematic boundaries in Japan and found international audiences intrigued by his thought provoking visions.

Join us five floors up on the panoramic rooftop of the new Hotel deLuxe's parking structure (SW 15th at Yamhill) for some starry nights of entertaining films, a little live music and spectacular city views. The screenings start around 9pm but the top goes down at 8, so come early and enjoy a bite to eat, an ice-cold beer or refreshing ice tea and the spectabuclar vistas. Feel free to bring your favorite chai, pad or blanket to sit on, but no pets or outsie food or beverage please. Special thanks to the Hotel deLuxe, Tazo Tea, Sierra Nevada Brewing and Willamette Week. Special Admission $5
