The Big Lebowski - An unconventional cult favorite that gave rise to dozens of themed conventions and festivals (and inspired a resurgence in the popularity of jelly sandals), The Big Lebowski is a meandering neo-noir punctuated at every turn by some of the most quotable, offbeat characters ever to grace the screen. When laid-back bowling enthusiast Jeff “the Dude” Lebowski is mistaken for millionaire Jeffrey “the Big” Lebowski, a casualty of the mix-up is the Dude’s beloved rug—one that “really tied the room together.” Embarking on a quest to seek restitution for his destroyed rug, the Dude is pulled into a complex maze of kidnapping, blackmail, musical dream sequences, nihilist German mercenaries, apathetic teen car thieves, feminist visual artists, and a bowling hotshot named Jesus. With a stellar ensemble cast including Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Big Lebowski is “spiked with wonderfully funny sequences and some brilliantly original notions.”—Todd McCarthy, Variety.

CINEMA UNBOUND DRIVE-IN THEATER THE BRIDGE LOT AT OMSI - The Northwest Film Center has announced programming for its Cinema Unbound Drive-In at OMSI running in July 2021. The series will offer drive-in screenings of great movies at OMSI with food, drink, fun weekend themes, and costumes.

Last year, the Portland Art Museum’s Northwest Film Center (NWFC) began a creative reimagining dubbed “Cinema Unbound,” a new artistic vision that redefines the notion of cinema to expand beyond the walls of a theater and include cinema, TV, media arts, audio, and immersive storytelling.

Building upon last year’s wildly successful Cinema Unbound Drive-In, the Northwest Film Center and Portland Art Museum is again collaborating with community partners to connect with audiences and bring innovative film and new media exhibitions to life. 

As part of The Cinema Unbound Summer Movie Series, the Northwest Film Center welcomes guests to safely gather and experience the power that truly radical and entertaining cinematic storytelling can bring. Unbound from the traditional movie theater setting, we’re creating new venues throughout the city.
