Wildwood at OMSI

About the Film

Wildwood is a handcrafted epic fantasy that transports audiences into a secret, dangerously alive world.

In an era of automation, LAIKA delivers its most ambitious and globally accessible film yet — a bold fusion of human-crafted artistry and cinematic storytelling from the makers of Coraline.

Look Back Lecture Series: 175 Years of the Oregonian

Samantha Swindler, reporter with the Oregonian, will talk about the history of the newspaper, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary. The Oregonian was founded in 1850. It’s the oldest newspaper on the West Coast and one of Oregon’s oldest continuously operating businesses. The talk will include ties to Clackamas County, including the race between Portland and Milwaukie to see who would get a newspaper first, and Oregonian editor Thomas Dryer’s infamous feuds with Asahel Bush, editor of Oregon Statesman, originally founded in Oregon City.

About the Speaker

Samantha Swindler joined The Oregonian in 2013 as editor of the weekly Forest Grove Leader suburban newspaper and has since been a columnist, video producer, editor and reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive. Before moving to the Portland area, she was publisher of the Tillamook Headlight-Herald on the Oregon Coast, and served as editor of rural newspapers in Texas and Kentucky. In 2010, she received the Tom and Pat Gish Award for courage, integrity and tenacity in rural journalism following a series of reports on corruption within an East Kentucky sheriff’s department. She currently covers news and features from Oregon City and other parts of Clackamas County, where she also lives.

Reel Science: Roadless

OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry)1945 Southeast Water Avenue

Roadless follows three adventurers as they set out on foot through the Alaskan wilderness with a goal: to follow the entire 211-mile length of the proposed Ambler Mining Road. 160 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the team crosses vast tundra, wild rivers, and pristine forests, bringing audiences directly into one of the most remote and ecologically intact landscapes in North America.

As the miles accumulate, so do the challenges — injuries, exhaustion, hunger, relentless mosquitoes, and the harsh reality of traveling difficult terrain without roads or trails. But the expedition also reveals a landscape few people will ever experience firsthand. Encounters with wildlife, 24-hour sunlight, and the vast Arctic ecosystem offer a glimpse into a remarkable environment that has remained largely untouched by human development.

Roadless is an adventure film about endurance and natural beauty, while exploring what could be lost if the Ambler Road is built.

USS Blueback Submarine Tech Tour

OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry)1945 Southeast Water Avenue

3-hour-long Guided Tech Tour. This special three-hour tour guided by an actual submarine veteran is for those who would like to learn more about the technical workings of the Blueback.

The maximum tour size is 6 people, so plan ahead and reserve your spot. It is recommended that a regular tour be taken prior to a Tech Tour.

Tech Tours are for ages 12 and above.

Submarine tech tours are approximately 3 hours long. Submarine tech tours are approximately 40 to 50 minutes long.

The USS Blueback is a truly unique space at OMSI, but it can be challenging to navigate.

Submarine visitors must be able to climb through the lobby hatch in order to participate in the tour.

The submarine has stairs and is narrow in places. Wheelchairs, strollers and walkers are not allowed on the submarine. Canes are permitted. Closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Please note: The submarine has very steep stairs. Visitors must be able to self-navigate. Carrying children is not allowed.

The submarine has many informational panels with Braille text. Please contact a submarine staff member with questions or for additional support.
