The remodeled Roseway Theater projects digitally. It’s one of the better digital theaters – and a good choice for 3D movies, but there’s no chance of a film showing here.

Laurelhurst will be all digital by the end of December 2011. Apparently they’ll be keeping one 35mm projector for some of their repertoire screenings – but not all of the repertoire screenings. One hopes they’ll reveal which will be 35mm to draw film aficionados as, for the last few years, Laurelhurst has been offering excellent 35mm presentation; properly framed and with consistently sharp focus.

Aladdin is a concert venue, not a cinema. A good concert venue, but still – not a cinema.

Joy Cinema is currently screening Indian, mostly Bollywood, movies. The schedule seems to be posted on Friday most of the time at: http://www.roxycinema.com/Portland_main.htm

It would be nice to have more advance notice, but I guess you take what you can get.

They screen 35mm prints. The projection is almost always good; well framed and with quick focus corrections when needed.

I believe there is a five ticket minimum to run the film so if you go on a slow night there’s a chance you might get a refund and no film.
