Film returns to the Portland Art Museum on January 10 as the renovated Whitsell Auditorium reopens as a destination for PAM CUT programming in film, new media, and visual storytelling.
As part of the Museum’s recently completed campus expansion and renovation, the Whitsell has been thoughtfully upgraded with improved accessibility, enhanced seating, and state-of-the-art projection and sound.
Launching with a film series inspired by the artist Marco Bramilla’s massive installation Heaven’s Gate just outside the auditorium, Maximalist Dreamscapes celebrates films that embrace excess, spectacle, and immersive world-building—works that transport viewers through bold visuals, heightened emotion, and expansive imagination.
Advance tickets are available now. PAM CUT @ The Whitsell is on level 0 inside the Portland Art Museum, located at 1219 SW Park Ave. in downtown Portland.
