Portland, check out Alex Ross Perry’s new film, which celebrates the history of the video store through movie and tv clips, on October 18th. For citizens of a city blessed to still have such a rare business, this is a must-see.

We’re excited to screening Alex Ross Perry's VIDEOHEAVEN in the Miniplex on Saturday, October 18 at 11:30AM, 3:00PM, & 6:30PM! Socio-cultural hub, consumer mecca, and source of existential dread; the video rental store forever changed the way we interact with movies.

With narration by Maya Hawke over footage culled from hundreds of sources (from TV commercials to blockbuster films), VIDEOHEAVEN tells the story of an industry's glorious, confusing, novel, sometimes seedy, but undeniably seismic impact on American movie culture.

“It’ll make you cry. It’s exactly my type of film.”

Cillian Murphy took a trip to the closet and made us love him even more. Picking up those Cassavetes & Wes Anderson sets was so perfect!

The actor praises the Dardenne brothers’ compassionate approach to filmmaking, talks about Michael Haneke’s use of long takes in CODE UNKNOWN, and gets excited to explore THE WES ANDERSON ARCHIVE.
