In-person: Q&A with Mary Corey, senior continuing lecturer in the UCLA Department of History. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Red Hollywood U.S. 1996 Abraham Polonsky, the writer of Body and Soul, said, “All films that are about crime are about capitalism.” In the 1940s, the House Un-American Activities Committee and studio executives conspired to create a blacklist barring hundreds of film artists suspected of communist sympathies, like Polonsky, from employment, upending countless lives. In Red Hollywood, Thom Andersen and Noël Burch reassess the blacklist’s legacy by reassembling footage from over 50 films made by blacklisted artists. These films, once dismissed as minor, are reconsidered as thoughtful attempts to tackle social and political issues in ways that Hollywood wouldn’t attempt again for decades.—Public Programs Assistant Noah Brockman DCP, color, 114 min. Directors/Screenwriters: Thom Andersen, Noël Burch. With: Billy Woodberry (narration). The Master Race U.S., 1944 George Coulouris stars as a Nazi commander who, seeing the writing on the wall for the Third Reich, disperses his officers incognito around liberated Europe to begin sowing seeds of discontent anew. As he assures them: “In our hands, hate can be turned into the most potent of weapons.” Settling himself in a Belgian town under Allied control, he works to undermine fledgling reconstruction efforts by playing on local antagonisms and resentment. A study of fascist rhetorical and propaganda tactics in the guise of a thriller, The Master Race was directed by Herbert J. Biberman who co-wrote the script with Anne Froelich and Rowland Leigh, with Biberman and Froelich both blacklisted just a few years later.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 95 min. Director: Herbert J. Biberman. Screenwriters: Herbert J. Biberman, Anne Froelich, Rowland Leigh. With: George Coulouris, Stanley Ridges, Osa Massen.

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment. Co-presented by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center. n-person: UCLA Professor Karen Umemoto, Helen and Morgan Chu Director of the Asian American Studies Center, and with Brian Niiya, Content Director of Densho, Lily Tung Crystal, Artistic Director, East West Players, and actor Denice Kumagai-Hoy. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Originally staged by the East West Players, pioneering author Wakako Yamauchi’s adaptation of her award-winning play, “And the Soul Shall Dance,” for KCET’s Hollywood Television Theatre is a poetic, haunting drama that reveals the hardships Japanese Americans faced during the Great Depression. Set in California’s Imperial Valley, Yamauchi's moving work explores the lives of two farming families as they struggle to make ends meet and assimilate in a so-called land of opportunity defined by systemic racism. Yamauchi’s teleplay unfolds through the eyes of a sensitive girl, Masako (Denice Kumagai), who bears witness to the challenges facing her loving parents (Pat Li, Sab Shimono) and the unraveling lives of a neighboring couple, Emiko (Haunani Minn) and Oka (Yuki Shimoda). Abused by her husband from an arranged marriage, Emiko dreams of a return to Japan to reclaim her past life, far from an inhospitable America. Her profound journey represents an indelible requiem for generations of Issei and Nisei beyond the play’s setting of the 1930s, with Yamauchi herself unjustly incarcerated as a teen at the concentration camp for Japanese Americans in Poston, Arizona, during World War II. Post-screening panel discussion moderated by UCLA Professor Karen Umemoto, Helen and Morgan Chu Director of the Asian American Studies Center,with Brian Niiya, Content Director of Densho, Lily Tung Crystal, Artistic Director, East West Players, and actor Denice Kumagai-Hoy. Before the screening in the lobby, beginning at 6:30 p.m., UCLA Library Audiovisual Project Conservator Maile Chung will display archival materials related to the East West Players from UCLA Library Special Collections.

Cloak and Dagger U.S., 1946 Director Fritz Lang’s post-war espionage thriller follows Gary Cooper’s nuclear physicist from his lab working on the Manhattan Project to an Italian resistance unit on an OSS mission to rescue a dissident scientist forced to help the Nazis on their own atomic bomb. Lang delivers some outstanding action sequences (no one socks a Nazi quite like Gary Cooper) while later-blacklisted screenwriters, Ring Lardner Jr. and Albert Maltz, put a progressive spin on the film’s nuclear politics — “When are we going to be given a billion dollars to wipe out cancer?” decries Cooper’s physicist — alongside its message that resistance to fascism isn’t only necessary but a moral obligation. 35mm, b&w, 106 min. Director: Fritz Lang. Screenwriters: Ring Lardner Jr., Albert Maltz. With: Gary Cooper, Robert Alda, Lilli Palmer. 35mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Preservation funding provided by The Film Foundation. Keeper of the Flame U.S., 1942 In this mystery melodrama, the legacy of a “great man” of America is called into question after his sudden death in a suspicious car accident. Spencer Tracy is the grizzled veteran reporter who starts asking all the wrong questions of Katharine Hepburn’s grieving but suspicious widow. Donald Ogden Stewart’s script comes with a few paeans to American exceptionalism — ”You and I are free men today because centuries ago some unknown guy got an idea in his head that he was just as good as the guy who was bossing him” — in a story that decidedly suggests “it can happen here” as homegrown fascists wrap themselves in patriotic imagery and rhetoric. 35mm, b&w, 100 min. Director: George Cukor. Screenwriter: Donald Ogden Stewart. With: Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Richard Whorf. —Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm Part of: From John Doe to Lonesome Rhodes: Antifacism from the Archive

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences In our 250th year of democracy in America, the country faces numerous challenges. Many public policy problems remain unaddressed. Congress and the state legislatures are unsure about how togovern in the face of rising presidential powers. And the country needs a new generation of political leaders to guide us forward. Professor Craig Volden at the University of Virginia directs the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which seeks to study and promote effective lawmaking in Congress and the states. Volden will describe how the Center measures and scores the effectiveness of each member of Congress and each state legislator. He will discuss the habits of highly effective lawmakers and a series of studies from the Center that highlight how American legislatures can regain their rightful place—comprised of effective lawmakers, strong institutional capacity and the incentive structure needed to address America’s greater public policy challenges. This talk is offered both in person and online. RSVP is requested. Light refreshments will be served. Craig Volden is Co-Director of the Center for Effective Lawmaking. He is a Professor of Public Policy and Politics, with appointments in the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia. He studies the politics of public policy, with a focus on what policy choices arise within legislative institutions and within American federalism. His work on effective lawmaking includes Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress: The Lawmakers, co-authored with Alan Wiseman, which develops a methodology for scoring the lawmaking effectiveness of each member of Congress, identifying how lawmakers could better address the nation’s policy problems. That work won the Fenno Prize for the best book on legislative politics and the Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best book on U.S. national policy. He has published numerous articles in such journals as: American Political Science Review; American Journal of Political Science; Journal of Politics; Legislative Studies Quarterly; and State Politics and Policy Quarterly.

Join Bruin alumni (and a few Cal Bear alumni too) as we have the second discussion in our three-month unit on science fiction. This month's topic is "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley. Largely set in a futuristic World State, whose citizens are environmentally engineered into an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist. (From GoodReads). This month's discussion will be led by Eric Skoglund. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88146818457

This workshop will give an overview of the main components of a dissertation proposal in the social sciences and cover strategies for writing the research questions, literature review, and methods sections, as well as some tips for getting through this sometimes daunting process. (These strategies should be adapted to your department's and advisor's expectations about the structure and content of your proposal.)

Co-presented with the UCLA Department of Art History as part of the 2025-26 UCLA Art Council Distinguished Scholar Lectureship in Art History An exploration of the significance of Manhattan in Diane Arbus’ seminal work: In this lecture, the esteemed writer, curator, and critic Hilton Als talks not only about the artist's relationship to her place of origin in Manhattan, but how he himself and many other writers, ranging from Walt Whitman to Elizabeth Hardwick, have responded to the island as well. Through this attention to the city, Als opens up a new way of understanding Arbus’ interest in “difference,” seen as a kind of moniker or badge of being a Manhattanite—Arbus’ preferred citizenship.
