Whether you're in Oslo or the Pacific Northwest, no summer is complete without catching an outdoor movie screening (or five). Nordic Northwest agrees, and their new film programming offers a little something for everyone's cinema tastes, from the arty and avant-garde to lighthearted and fun. On August 26, the series wraps up with The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, a heartfelt '75 family flick complete with stop-motion animal friends and weirdo Rube Goldberg-like contraptions. Attendees will find a range of Oregon wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options to keep their thirst at bay during each screening.

Wild Strawberries (1957)

June 24, 2022, 9:15 pm - 10:45 pm

During his travels, Professor Isak Borg is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and make peace with his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, we see one man's voyage of self-discovery. This masterpiece, full of iconic imagery, is one of Ingmar Bergman's most acclaimed and influential films.


A-Ha - The Movie (2021)

July 8, 2022, 9:15 pm - 11 pm

When a-ha's breakthrough hit "Take on Me" shot to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1985, it turned its three young band members into global superstars overnight. While the iconic song and its groundbreaking music video remain ubiquitous to this day, the story of a-ha didn't end there. After 35 years, a deep catalog of 11 studio albums and 55 million units sold - despite controversies and disagreements - a-ha continues to record music and play to packed arenas around the world. Following Mags, Morten and Pal over a period of four years, a-ha: The Movie provides unprecedented access to the inner workings of the band as well as a career-spanning look at one of the most enduring and beloved acts in pop music history.


Autumn Sonata (1978)

World famous pianist Charlotte visits her daughter Eva's home after many years apart. Charlotte meets many surprises during her visit including her second daughter, whom Eva has taken out of the institution where their mother had placed her in. The tension between Charlotte and Eva only builds up, until a tense conversation releases all the things they have wanted to tell each other.


The Seventh Seal (1957)

August 19, 2022, 8:30 pm - 10 pm

A medieval knight returning to Sweden after the Crusades seeks answers about life, death, and the existence of God as he plays chess against the personification of Death. Along the way the knight and his squire encounter a group of outcasts from a society plagued by the Black Death, decay, fear, suspicion and despair.

The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975)

August 26, 2022, 8:15 pm - 9:45 pm

In the village of Pinchcliffe, the inventor Theodore Rimspoke lives with his animal friends Lambert, a nervous, pessimistic and melancholic hedgehog, and Sonny Duckworth, a cheerful and optimistic magpie. Theodore works as a bicycle repairman, though he spends most of his time inventing weird Rube Goldberg-like contraptions. One day, the trio discover that one of Theodore's former assistants, Rudolph Gore-Slimey, has stolen his design for a race car engine.
