Portland Art Museum’s PAM CUT program will screen Stanley Kubrick’s 'Barry Lyndon' in 35mm on Aug. 1, with the film set for 2 to 5 p.m. at Whitsell Auditorium in the museum’s Portland venue. The screening is part of the film series 'Pretty, Witty and Gay,' which the museum says is in conversation with the David Hockney exhibition.
The museum describes 'Barry Lyndon' (1975), directed by Kubrick and rated PG, as a film that draws its visual style and painterly aesthetic from 18th-century masters. The story follows the rise and fall of Redmond Barry, described by the museum as an Irish rogue. The runtime listed on the event page is three hours and five minutes.
The screening arrives within a week of other PAM CUT and Whitsell film programming, but the museum is presenting 'Barry Lyndon' as a standalone event in this series rather than as part of a broader retrospective. On the event page, Portland Art Museum notes accessibility information for the program and says all spaces for the event are wheelchair accessible.
The museum’s website frames the screening through its link to visual art, aligning Kubrick’s period drama with the museum’s ongoing exhibition context. The reference to David Hockney places the film within a curatorial conversation between cinema and painting, and the museum highlights the film’s historical look as central to that connection.
'Barry Lyndon in 35mm' is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026, at Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Ave., Portland, in Whitsell Auditorium. The event is listed as running from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
