A Radical Film Classic Meets Portland’s Indie Book SceneExperience Lizzie Borden’s groundbreaking feminist sci-fi film Born in Flames at the Portland Art Museum’s Whitsell Auditorium on September 5, presented in partnership with HI Books. Set in a near-future New York shaped by a socialist government, the cult classic follows two pirate radio stations as they challenge the status quo, blending documentary-style filmmaking, punk energy, and provocative social commentary.
The screening is part of PAM CUT’s programming at the Whitsell, bringing together film, art, and Portland’s creative community. It’s a chance to experience a landmark work of independent cinema on the big screen while connecting with the local book and arts scene through the collaboration with HI Books.
