PAM CUT–Center for an Untold Tomorrow, formerly the Northwest Film Center is a regional media arts resource and service organization based in Portland, Oregon, United States that was founded to encourage the study, appreciation, and utilization of film. The center provides a variety of film and video exhibition, education and information programs primarily directed to the residents of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.

History

The center was founded as the Northwest Film Study Center in 1971,[1] and incorporated into the Portland Art Museum in 1978.[2]

The center was located in Portland's historic Guild Theatre from 1998 to 2006.[3]

Sponsors of the center include the National Endowment for the Arts, Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Cultural Trust, Washington State Arts Commission, Regional Arts & Culture Council, The Ted R. Gamble Film Endowment, The Rose E. Tucker Charitable Trust, The Paul G. Allen Foundation for the Arts, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission.

In March 2022, the center was renamed the "PAM CUT–Center for an Untold Tomorrow".[4]

In September 2019, Amy Dotson became the director of Portland's Northwest Film Center. Dotson would be responsible for the Film Center's overall vision, including strategic development, marketing, and guidance of the curriculum. She would also work with the curatorial teams of the Museum, incorporating her vast film and new media knowledge, as well as using her financial, commercial and foreign partnerships to promote the development of the Film Center as a world-class film and digital media production hub.[5]
