The Camera Eye discussion: 8 1/2

The Camera Eye discussion: 8 1/2
Join Movie Club member Jake Brown for the next film in his series highlighting great cinematography in motion pictures: 1963's semi-autobiographical tale, 8 1/2. Written and directed by notable Italian escapist Federico Fellini, and starring his recurring lead Marcello Mastroianni, with an energetic performance by Claudia Cardinale, 8 1/2 explores a filmmaker facing the daily stresses of his pressured career by drifting into surreal (and often juvenile) thoughts in avoidance of his next big creation.
Please note a change from both our typical location and day/time. This will be our new West Side Meet-Up occurring in Beaverton instead of Central or East Side Portland.

Viewing Options for 8 1/2
Streaming options include Max, Hulu, The Criterion Channel, and Kanopy, along with additional for-purchase/rental options at Apple TV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Google Play.

“The Camera Eye” Portland Movie Club Meet-Up Series
Whether 35mm film, 70mm, 16, Super 8, or digital, we want to celebrate the greatest shots in cinema history. This isn’t just cameras and lenses, though. It’s framing, lighting, blocking, acting, makeup, costumes, location, set design, and so much more. Of course, cinematography is just a jumping-off point. What about sound design, characters, and most important of all, the story? Let’s discuss!

Here's how the Portland Movie Club Meet-Ups work

1. Just like a book club, we watch the movie before we meet. (Try watching it even if you've already seen it before. You don't have to watch one to join us, but it'll be more fun that way. Also, try taking notes to help remember the most interesting parts, and bring 'em with you if you can!)
2. We'll meet at Breakside Brewery in Beaverton at 2pm on the scheduled date. We'll have signs at our table(s), but we'll also try to be obvious and identifiable.
3. Grab some food, some drinks, and spend time socializing/discussing this movie with us!
