CTV29 presents a special 50th anniversary screening celebration of one of Oregon most important films — “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”

Announcements
Saturday, December 6th, 2025. 5 p.m. CTV29, Lane County Film Studios, Oregon Film, Travel Lane County, and McKenzie Reel Film are proud to present the first in an upcoming series of iconic Made in Oregon films, starting with a special 50th anniversary screening of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, based on local author Ken Kesey’s best-selling novel. The film accomplished something only two other films in history have ever done: at the 1976 Oscars it won Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film. The only other films to garner the full sweep, you ask? “It Happened One Night” (1934), and “Silence of the Lambs” (1991).Filmed at the Salem Mental Hospital, with some active patients serving as extras, the film is a landmark in cinema…

Bide Your Time — a special memorial screening of “The Limey” in honor of Terrence Stamp

Bide Your Time — a special memorial screening of “The Limey” in honor of Terrence Stamp

Announcements
 Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. 6 p.m. Terrence Stamp gets the last word in one of the most haunting revenge films of the ’90s. To celebrate the life and legacy of the great Terrence Stamp—a screen legend whose career spanned six decades of fearless performances—CTV is proud to present a special memorial screening of The Limey (1999), Steven Soderbergh’s stylish, fragmented, and ferociously emotional crime drama. Stamp plays Wilson, an aging British ex-con who flies to Los Angeles to investigate the mysterious death of his daughter. What begins as a simple tale of revenge becomes something far stranger and more poetic: a deconstructed genre piece that shatters chronology, memory, and grief into jagged shards of light, sound, and fury. With Soderbergh’s razor-sharp editing, Cliff Martinez’s haunting score, and an unforgettable supporting…

The Greatest Movie Ever Made — a 30th anniversary screening of SHOWGIRLS

Announcements
 Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. 6 p.m. So bad it’s perfect. So wrong it’s transcendent. So naked it’s... Showgirls. The film that set the new standard for the silliest sex scene to ever take place in water. To celebrate one of the most jaw-dropping cult phenomena in cinema history, CTV invites you to experience Showgirls (1995) like you never have before—with the hysterically brilliant audio commentary by writer David Schmader, dubbed "The Greatest Movie Ever Made". This isn’t just a screening—it’s an annotated crash course in glorious cinematic failure. "Showgirls triumphs in that every single person involved in the making of the film, from the writers, actors, gaffers, every single one of them is making the worst possible decision at every possible time, and it's this incredible density of failure that…

So, all there is, is, is this — 20th anniversary screening of BROKEN FLOWERS

Announcements
 Tuesday, August 26, 2025. 6 p.m. Deadpan. Mysterious. Unmistakably Jarmusch.This month at CTV, we invite you to sink into the quiet, melancholic charm of Broken Flowers (2005), a wry and soulful road movie from one of independent cinema’s most enigmatic voices: Jim Jarmusch. Starring a perfectly understated Bill Murray, Broken Flowers follows Don Johnston, an aging bachelor who sets off on a reluctant cross-country journey to revisit a string of former lovers after receiving an anonymous letter claiming he has a 19-year-old son. What unfolds is not a quest for answers so much as a meditation on aging, regret, and the strange poetry of unresolved lives. Like many of Jarmusch’s films, Broken Flowers unfolds at its own rhythm—minimalist, dryly funny, and full of lingering silences that say more than any…

Put a dwarf in it — a 30th anniversary screening of Living in Oblivion

Announcements
 Tuesday, July 29, 2025. 6 p.m. Indie filmmaking is hard. Living in Oblivion makes it hilarious.To mark the 30th anniversary of one of the great underground comedies of the ’90s, CTV is thrilled to screen Living in Oblivion (1995)—a film that every independent filmmaker, dreamer, and DIY auteur will recognize as painfully, absurdly true. Directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi in one of his most iconic roles, Living in Oblivion is a behind-the-scenes satire of the chaos, egos, technical failures, and emotional meltdowns that plague a low-budget film shoot. Structured in three surreal, interlocking acts (each one more unhinged than the last), it’s both a love letter to and a roast of the indie film scene—equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. In a city like Eugene, where grassroots film…
