EGG

Portland premiere of the high-definition digital transfer of the original film! Part of the Hanabi Film Festival 2026. Limited festival passes available while supplies last. Doors open at 8:30 PM; film at 9:00 PM. Tsukiko lives a mundane existence revolving around her inscrutable tech office job. One day while on her way to work, she closes her eyes and a mysterious giant egg appears in what’d otherwise be the darkness of her eyelids. The egg soon hatches, unleashing with it memories of suppressed trauma as a hideous arthropod monster develops a tormented relationship with Tsukiko each time she dares to shut out the light. A searing Y2K-era cocktail of creature features, body horror, psychological thrillers and vaporwave aesthetics. This surreal effort by the highly prolific Yukihiko Tsutsumi (2LDK) deconstructs sensitive themes such as women’s traditional roles in society while also fully delivering on the promise of alien creepazoids. Screened in Japanese with English subtitles. Director: Yukihiko Tsutsumi Year: 2005 Country: Japan Runtime: 73 minutes Event link: https://cstpdx.com/event/egg/
