AIFF Monthly Film Series: The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane
Saturday, October 11, 7:00 p.m. • Music Recital Hall at Southern Oregon University

Join us for our Monthly Film Series, featuring The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane!

For decades, Barbara Dane lent her stellar singing voice to social justice movements in the Bay Area and beyond, garnering an impressive FBI file along the way. Deeply respected by fellow luminaries in folk, blues, and jazz, Dane built a far reaching legacy with music, activism, and love. As Maureen Gosling’s celebratory portrait reveals, early solidarity with those suffering racial and economic injustice sparked Dane’s passion to use her talent to sustain marginalized people. Rather than chase stardom, she followed her own maternal instincts to root herself and her family among generations of activist performers. Bonnie Raitt, Jane Fonda, and other notables attest to Dane’s unique way of shaping and being shaped by tumultuous social revolutions from the 1950s on. Nearing ninety, Dane triumphantly tours with piano virtuoso Tammy Hall to celebrate a life of staying awake and connected, true to her ideals. One star among many illuminates so much.

Three brand-new haunted houses (The Silver Scream, Forbidden Fortress, Slayers) anchor a full-blown festival of fear on select nights Oct 3 – Nov 1, 2025. After you claw your way out of the mazes, challenge the Carn-Evil Funhouse, brave the pitch-black Complex: Blackout, loose arrows at Zombie Archery, or cram into one of three mini escape games (Bus 666, Trap House, The Hot Seat). Midway lights stay blazing with Oaks Park thrill rides, a haunted vendor market, coffin-ride “Buried Alive,” food, bars, and roaming monsters—all covered by one grounds pass. 1,000-plus five-star reviews can’t all be wrong.

• Hours & place: 7805 SE Oaks Park Way, Portland, OR 97202—free parking right on the riverfront midway. Gates and rides open one hour before haunt time.
• Tickets: Online General Admission from $23–$40 (prices rise closer to Halloween). Add VIP, All-Access, or ride bracelets at checkout to slash waits and pack in more screams.
