Dear friend of German language films:

Given the rapidly evolving public health crisis involving COVID-19 (coronavirus), we are suspending our monthly German language film series until further notice. This is in response to the Governor of Oregon’s recommendations that large gatherings of over 250 people should be postponed or canceled and that smaller gatherings in venues that do not allow for social distancing of six feet per person should be postponed or canceled. The CLINTON STREET THEATER and CINEMA 21 at this point are having virtual screenings – please support them and check out their website.

Our and their top priority is the safety of our patrons, members, staff and volunteers, and we will continue to monitor this health crisis, particularly as it impacts the film exhibition industry and the city of Portland.

We know that you were looking forward to screenings advertised on our website. We will do everything possible to reschedule these films in the future.

We appreciate your support during this crisis, and look forward to welcoming you back to one of our screenings as soon as possible. Please continue to check our homepage for updates on our schedule.

Sincerely,

Yvonne P. Behrens                                                                                     The Board of Zeitgeist Northwest
