Four Women U.S., 1975 Four Women transforms Nina Simone’s ballad into an experimental dance film that explores identity and survival. Dancer Linda Martina Young embodies Aunt Sarah, Saffronia, Sweet Thing and Peaches, shifting costume and movement to reflect each archetype. Filmmaker Julie Dash’s editing mirrors Simone’s vocals, pausing moments of motion before dissolving into the next image. One of the first experimental films by a Black woman filmmaker, it fuses music, dance and cinema into a bold statement of Black feminist artistry.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 10 min. Director: Julie Dash. With: Linda Martina Young. Restored by Indie Collect in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive and Women Make Movies. La Raza: “Celebration” U.S., 1974 “For la raza, we live to celebrate life,” declares host Ricardo Montalbán at the start of this episode, which captures the vibrancy of Mexican American celebrations and cultural traditions. Part of the six-episode McGraw Hill public affairs series La Raza that aired in 1974, it is directed by husband-and-wife UCLA Ethno-Communications alumni Moctesuma Esparza and Esperanza Vasquez. Blending Montalbán’s classic charm with intimate footage of community gatherings and dazzling musical performances, the episode foregrounds the richness of la vida and delivers an affirming portrait of a people too often overlooked or stereotyped on screen.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 53 min. Directors: Moctesuma Esparza, Esperanza Vasquez. With: Ricardo Montalbán. Cruisin’ J Town U.S., 1975 Directed by Duane Kubo, who earned a UCLA bachelor’s degree in astronomy and astrophysics in 1974, this short documentary explores the roots of the popular jazz fusion band Hiroshima in Los Angeles’ pre-redevelopment Little Tokyo. The group members discuss the sociological, political and cultural pulse of the early 1970s while reflecting on influences in Asian American music.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, color, 26 min. Director: Duane Kubo. Cycles U.S., 1989 This exuberant experimental drama follows Rasheeda Allen as she anxiously awaits her overdue period. Blending live action with animation, filmmaker Zeinabu irene Davis draws on Caribbean folklore to craft a film language rooted in African American women’s experiences. As Rasheeda cleans her home and performs purification rituals, a layered soundtrack of African and diasporic music, including artists like Miriam Makeba and Clora Bryant, deepens the film’s sensory world. Hailed as “a brilliantly innovative reflection on Black womanhood” by the Los Angeles Times, Davis’ bold imagination shines.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 17 min. Director/Screenwriter: Zeinabu irene Davis. Part of: Toward a More Perfect Rebellion: Multiracial Student Activism at UCLA

This film series celebrates the radical legacy of UCLA’s Ethno-Communications Program (1969–1973), a pioneering affirmative action initiative launched by Elyseo Taylor, the School of Theater, Film and Television’s first Black faculty member. Designed to train Black, Asian American, Latina/o/x and Native American students to use film as a tool for social change, the program paired filmmaking with journalism, mass communications and community engagement. The alumni in this film program created works that redefined independent media in Los Angeles, offering expansive, socially engaged portraits of multiracial America.

Executive produced by Astaire, the innovative An Evening With Fred Astaire represents a creative zenith and technical milestone as one of the earliest television specials utilizing color videotape. Serving as a showcase for the peerless dancing that made Astaire a beloved international star, the critically acclaimed TV special was honored with nine Emmy Awards across artistic and technical categories along with a Peabody Award. Notably, the program paired maestro Astaire with Barrie Chase, an extremely gifted dancer of athleticism and grace whom Astaire would later name as one of his favorite dance partners in his legendary career. In 1987, An Evening With Fred Astaire enjoyed further accolades as the UCLA Film & Television Archive presented the special to new audiences following an arduous restoration process of the original 2 in. color videotape masters. The technically challenging preservation project garnered engineers Ed Reitan and Don Kent, Television Archivist Dan Einstein and the Archive technical Emmy Awards. Virtually unseen since airing on the Disney Channel in 1987, join us for a rare screening of the television landmark An Evening With Fred Astaire and its masterful follow-up Another Evening With Fred Astaire (1959). In between episodes there will be a Q&A with dancer and actor Barrie Chase, co-star of the Fred Astaire specials, moderated by Maya Montañez Smukler, Archive Research and Study Center Officer.

What stories do coins carry beyond their economic value? In this online program, Ex-Change co-curator Carlee S. Forbes is joined by Professor Andrew Apter of UCLA Departments of History and Anthropology for a conversation about the role of coins, tokens, and counters in African cultural and ritual systems. Drawing on the Fowler’s African collections and Apter’s scholarship on Yoruba ritual economies, the discussion will explore coins as conduits of memory, belief, and power. These objects transcend monetary function as they participate in spiritual, aesthetic, and historical narratives. Together, Forbes and Apter will consider how these small, everyday forms reflect vast networks of exchange, colonial histories, and symbolic meanings across time.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Colin Allen, Distinguished Professor in the department of philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara Drawing on interviews and other work that is being done for a book about the history and philosophy of "mathematical psychology,” Colin Allen will characterize mathematical psychologists as a self-identified community within psychology, united by their approach to mathematical modeling, mentoring lineages and institutional structures such as a journal, and societies on three continents organizing conferences and summer schools. Mathematical psychologists have recently been vocal about the need for psychology to move in a more mathematical direction, inspired partly by the so-called “replication crisis” which many of them believe is actually a “theory crisis.” In this talk, Allen will at the arguments of three prominent mathematical psychologists and argue that while mathematical psychology does not lack small “t” theories, it has been arguably less successful in formulating big “T" Theories that have the kind of scope, generality, and predictive power that led Wigner to write of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served.

Latencies of the Statistical Image Catalunya, 2024 The essay explores the genealogies that link today’s computer vision and artificial intelligence imaging systems to 19th-century scientific research's use of photography. Using the work of Étienne-Jules Marey and Francis Galton as case studies, the essay encourages an analysis of the latencies or cultural mutations manifest in the operative images of both periods.—Roc Albalat DCP, color, 9 min.

Fembot in a Red Dress U.S., 2015 Fembot in a Red Dress analyzes the cultural trope of the “lady in red” as it evolved from the genre of film noir to science fiction and from the human to the artificial female in a variety of film and television texts. Through juxtaposed sequences of fembots, “ladies in red,” and a combination of the two, the work attempts to mine the potential of the “critical supercut” not only for laying bare gendered patterns of representation, but also for uncovering subtle variations in meaning across cinematic texts and contexts.—Allison de Fren DCP, color, 13 min. Director: Allison de Fren. Not Exactly a Still Life Switzerland, 2024 Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo is a film about the drive to repeat and reproduce lost things, and the failure to do so. What would it mean to repeat the images of this repetitious film with the help of AI — but as disturbing (failed) dreams rather than an exact replica? We begin to imagine a new film within the one we know. AI gives us back the history of cinema — as an uncanny double.—Johannes Binotto DCP, color, 4 min. Director: Johannes Binotto. Toute la data du monde Switzerland, 2025 An experimental short essay film that reimagines Alain Resnais’ iconic 1956 essay film Toute la mémoire du monde (1956) for the AI age. Resnais’ film, on the surface a documentary portrait of the National Library of France, has commonly been understood as a meditation on the crisis of memory, knowledge and ethics after the horrors of World War II. Toute la data du monde takes some of Resnais’ images and questions as inspiration and applies them to this new current crisis of memory, knowledge and archivization in the age of AI. Through surreal, meditative and entirely AI-generated images, it suggests what the libraries of artificial intelligence and data might look like.—Evelyn Kreutzer DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 4 min. Director: Evelyn Kreutzer Afterlives (excerpt) Germany/Belgium/France, 2025 Afterlives is a desktop documentary that critically engages with the historical and digital traces of extremist propaganda, questioning how images of violence circulate, mutate and persist.
