Portland hosts a range of May events spanning documentary film, World War II cinema lectures, and live music. Fresh Produce at Hollywood Theatre features a screening of 25 Cats From Qatar, a documentary about bringing 25 street cats from Qatar to the US by commercial flight, with a Q&A involving director Mye Hoang. Movie Madness University presents a WW2 Combat Film lecture at Portland State University, covering World War II film from propaganda to post-war realism, with PSU students admitted free using ID. On May 19, Rex Marshall performs with Michelle Kicherer, with Mattress described as a long-running music project. On May 21, Marisa Anderson presents an album release show for The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music. Stars on Ice brings Alysa Liu and the Quad God into town. Free entertainment is available at the Expo Center involving people hitting each other with balls.
"Also worth it: Movie Madness University presents the WW2 Combat Film, Portland State University, .Cinefix creator Jack Perez delivers a one-off lecture on World War II film as a genre, from enlistment-boosting propaganda to the gritty post-war realism of John Ford. PSU students get in free with ID."
"Trying to categorize Mattress, the long-running music project of "the man in the gold suit" Rex Marshall, has always been a little tricky. It's funny, but is it comedy? There are beats, but should you dance? Marshall's memoirella All the Work I Never Wanted may be the easiest concept he's ever floated: It's a "fantastic,"
"Indie troubadour Kevin Morby heads into town on May 19 from the rustic Hudson Valley cabin where he recorded his new album, Little Wide Open. Local guitarist-composer Marisa Anderson also plays an album release show on May 21, revealing her expansive new album The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music. Plus, I know February feels like a century ago, but remember Alysa Liu and the Quad God? They're triple Axeling (or maybe quadruple Axeling?) into town for Stars on Ice. One more question: Did you know you can watch people hit each other with balls at the Expo Center for FREE? Read on, obviously!"
