A cinematic destination in the heart of Portland, PAM CUT @ The Whitsell reopens January 10, 2026 at the Portland Art Museum!
PAM CUT’s Whitsell reopening is more than a launch; it’s an invitation to come see what’s new. An invitation to dream, to expand the possibilities of who and what shape our realities, and to create something entirely new. Together, let’s imagine what a new theater, a new museum, and a shared future can look like.
With screenings held every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. on Level 0 at the Portland Art Museum, PAM CUT’s newest location will house chic, distinctive, and culturally iconic programming. Showcasing work by boundary-pushing artists, filmmakers, and culturemakers past and present, PAM CUT @ The Whitsell aims to be the space where visually stunning art and storytelling collide.
Unique programs and series will be released throughout the year, as programmed by PAM CUT and guest programmers, in theme and in conversation with the work at the Portland Art Museum and as standalone explorations. Whether it’s old favorites, new discoveries, curated series, or youth programming, PAM CUT highlights world-class, bold voices that inspire, challenge, and influence the art of cinematic and multi-media storytelling.
Maximalist Dreamscapes
The bold, visionary films in our inaugural film series, Maximalist Dreamspaces don’t just show us what is—they construct alternate possibilities, expand our perception of the world, and open portals to entirely new dimensions.
