The HOLLYWOOD THEATRE & MOSMA present: “Invention for Destruction” Directed by Karel Zeman MARCH 16th 7:30pm Tickets at hollywoodtheatre.org This dazzling adventure follows a brilliant scientist and his apocalyptic invention, pursued by pirates willing to stop at nothing to claim it. Loosely inspired by the fiction of Jules Verne and the look of Victorian line engravings, director Karel Zeman immerses live-action performers in exquisitely animated environments, creating a richly detailed proto-steampunk fantasy. Released internationally in the early 1960’s, Invention for Destruction became one of the most celebrated and successful Czechoslovakian films ever made. MOSMA (Museum of Stop Motion Animation) and the Hollywood Theatre are thrilled to present a rare opportunity to experience this remarkable film on the big screen! Help MOSMA raise funding towards their mission to establish a permanent stop-motion museum in Portland. Join hosts founder/president of MOSMA Brian Capati and local filmmaker/director of photography Dan Ackerman as they celebrate this nearly 70 year old cinematic gem.

A huge thank you to PNCA alum Brian Capati for visiting campus last week and sharing his journey in the stop-motion industry! 🎬✨ Brian has worked with renowned studios like LAIKA and ShadowMachine, and is the founder of MOSMA - with a visionary goal of opening a Museum of Stop Motion right here in Portland. Our students were inspired by his insight, industry experience, and generosity, including his offer to connect about future volunteer opportunities. We’re grateful for alumni who continue to give back and help shape the next generation of artists. 💫
