Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident sees the director returning to a more traditional narrative form, yet it is also his most daring, unflinching political work. Based on his own experience as a political prisoner, and on stories shared by fellow cellmates, the film brings together a group of Iranian citizens who debate what they should do with a man they believe tortured them in prison, after a chance encounter brings them together again. Fifteen years after being banned from making films by the Iranian government, during which time he produced a remarkable run of clandestine works, Panahi courageously confronts his oppressor with a psychological drama about survival, moral choices, and political resistance. 2025. Written and directed by Jafar Panahi. With Vahid Mobasseri, Ebrahim Azizi, Mariam Afshari. DCP courtesy NEON. In Persian; English subtitles. 103 min.

Followed by a conversation with writer & director Ryan Coogler and actors Delroy Lindo & Wunmi Mosaku The horror film has never been as accepted as a mainstream storytelling genre, or a more powerful mirror of troubled times, as it is today. Rooted in the intertwined histories of Black cultural achievement and racism in America, Sinners is destined to be regarded as a landmark of the genre. Twin brothers “Smoke” and “Stack” (Michael B. Jordan, in a remarkable double performance), back from the trenches of WWI, use money stolen from the Chicago mob to purchase a sawmill and open an exclusive juke joint for a Black community in Mississippi. The irresistible energy of the music and dance emanating from within draws a coven of immigrant Irish vampires to the crowded club doors; at first they modestly request entry as fellow entertainers, but soon they are picking off locals before mounting a ferocious, climactic assault. Coogler uses vampirism as a metaphor for the complex history of racial “passing” and assimilation in America is profoundly affecting, as is the film’s inclusion of marginalized Chinese and Native American characters in the film’s horrific—and historically accurate—portrayal of the nation’s culture of prejudice. Not since the late Indigenous Canadian filmmaker Jeff Barnaby used horror to recall the history of abuse suffered by First Nations peoples in Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013) and Blood Quantum (2019) has a director so provocatively employed the genre to lay bare the monstrous political realities of his place and time. Sinners may be set in 1932, but it calls for serious reflection in 2025. 2025. USA. Written and directed by Ryan Coogler. With Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo. DCP. Courtesy Warner Brothers. 137 min.

Followed by a conversation with actress Zoey Deutch Richard Linklater pays tribute to a film that shook the world like few others and sparked an aesthetic revolution that still fascinates audiences: Jean-Luc Godard’s À bout de souffle (Breathless) (1960). In Nouvelle Vague, the American director revives the French New Wave and goes back to the locations where Godard’s tiny film crew improvised scenes to offer a fly-on-the-wall tale on how a semi-chaotic, seemingly unimportant shoot led by a young, moody visionary became one of the most influential films in cinema history. 2025.

Join American Indian Alumni of UCLA in Westwood to reconnect during the holiday season.

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and Los Angeles Filmforum In-person: Q&A with Steve F. Anderson, filmmaker and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, moderated by Los Angeles Filmforum programmer Diego Robles. 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. A filmmaker and the current Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, Steve F. Anderson grew up in Los Angeles watching images filmed in the city on television. Seeing images of where you live on screen as well as out your window can generate a desire to always decipher what is “real” and what isn’t. As filmmaker Thom Andersen notes in Los Angeles Plays Itself, Angelenos can quickly be taken out of a movie’s car chase scene when their geographical map of Los Angeles doesn’t correspond with the street directions on screen. Steve F. Anderson sought to explore this “intersection of fact and fiction on the screens of Hollywood” with his latest essay feature film, Reality Frictions, which we are pleased to debut in Los Angeles in partnership with Los Angeles Filmforum. One of the films referenced in Anderson’s work is Marlon Fuentes’ Bontoc Eulogy, which explores the performative images taken at the St. Louis World Fair in 1904 of displaced and coerced indigenous Filipino communities. A screening of Reality Frictions and Q&A with Steve F. Anderson will be followed by Bontoc Eulogy.—Programming Coordinator Nicole Ucedo Programmed by Los Angeles Filmforum Executive and Artistic Director Adam Hyman and Archive Programming Coordinator Nicole Ucedo. Reality Frictions U.S., 2024 Los Angeles premiere! Steve F. Anderson declares the goal of his film as “...not just to investigate the lines between reality and fiction, but to understand what happens when images, events, or people from the real world intrude on the cinematic one.” With structures resembling chapters, the audiovisual essayistic investigations siphon philosophical inquiries while also ushering in a fury of quotidian interrogations from archival sources. Conceptually, the film is framed by Vivian Sobchack’s ideas on “Documentary Consciousness,” while aesthetically, the film’s mannerisms express direct connections to the cinema of Thom Andersen, especially Los Angeles Plays Itself.—Los Angeles FiImforum Programmer Diego Robles DCP, color, 68 min. Director: Steve F. Anderson. Bontoc Eulogy Philippines/U.S., 1995 Marlon Fuentes’ film journeys into learning about Markod, the filmmaker’s grandfather, who along with many Igorot people, was displayed in St. Louis’ World Fair of 1904. Cinematically, he voices concerns against the cosmology that frames the archival footage. His presence combines with scenes he recreates that probe generational fissures from centuries of colonialism, and neo-imperialist pressures against a more diverse Filipino and Filipino-diasporic cultural identity. Against the backdrop of media (mis)representation, he lovingly reinstates honor and respect to his grandfather, showing himself bear witness to the inhumane “studying” of human remains in our very own academic institutions.—Los Angeles FiImforum Programmer Diego Robles DCP, b&w, 56 min. Directors: Marlon Fuentes, Bridget Yearian. Screenwriter: Marlon Fuentes. Part of: Reality Frictions / Bontoc Eulogy

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment In-person: Q&A with Todd S. Purdum, author of “Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television.” Book signing before the screening. 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. A natural comedic actor, singer and percussionist, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III, better known as Desi Arnaz, also possessed considerable behind-the-scenes creative and business acumen that proved equally paramount to his incredible success. In the biography Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television, author Todd S. Purdum illuminates that the visionary practices introduced to the television industry by Arnaz dramatically altered the course of the medium. Arnaz’s most significant contribution was his audacious abandonment of live TV to shoot his new sitcom on film with three cameras. The runaway utility of the then-novel (and costly) production technique paved the way for the lucrative redistribution of I Love Lucy, and what ultimately became known as the “rerun.” The proceeds of Arnaz’s brilliant innovation helped fund Desilu Studios — his joint venture with Lucille Ball that quickly became one of the most prolific production arms of the rapidly expanding medium of television in the 1950s and ’60s. As a refugee forced to flee Cuba during the revolution of 1933, Arnaz faced extreme poverty and racism upon arrival in the United States. His unlikely rise to superstar and studio mogul represents a truly American rags to riches story, often undertold, with Arnaz’s genius overshadowed by the peerless comedic talents of his partner, Lucille Ball. Join us for a screening of beloved classics and archival gems honoring television pioneer Desi Arnaz, featuring a Q&A with Todd S. Purdum, author of Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television. Programmed and notes written by John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley. Desi Arnaz and His Orchestra U.S., 1946 In this one-reeler, Warner Bros. introduces Desi Arnaz to motion picture audiences as a rising new star, complete with a performance of his signature tune, “Babalú.” 35mm, b&w, 10 min. Director: c. With: Desi Arnaz. I Love Lucy: “Job Switching” U.S. 9/15/1952 With original commercials! Internationally beloved for Lucille Ball’s and Vivian Vance’s hilarious turns as inept chocolate factory workers, this landmark episode also highlights Arnaz’s comedic instincts as his alter ego Ricky Ricardo attempts domestic chores. In 1996, TV Guide ranked this episode number 2 in their “100 Most Memorable Moments in TV History,” surpassed only by coverage of Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. DCP, b&w, 30 min. CBS. Production: A Desilu Production. Executive Producer: Desi Arnaz. Producer: Jess Oppenheimer. Director: Marc Daniels. Writers: Jess Oppenheimer, Madelyn Pugh, Bob Carroll, Jr. With: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, William Frawley. Westinghouse Promotional Film (excerpt) U.S., ca. 1958 In this corporate film, Desilu President Desi Arnaz offers an aerial tour of the vast production facilities across Los Angeles that he co-owned with partner Lucille Ball. Following the helicopter tour, Arnaz presents Westinghouse sponsors with his detailed production bible for the ambitious Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse television anthology that he executive produced. DCP, b&w, 20 min. With: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, William Frawley. The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show: “Lucy Meets the Mustache” U.S., 4/1/1960 Directed by Desi Arnaz, this final episode of the I Love Lucy phenomenon represents the last time that he and Lucille Ball appeared together as the beloved Ricardos. Tensions between the couple, in the midst of divorce, were palpable on set as the cultural touchstone came to an end. The classic episode finds Lucy trying to revive Ricky’s flagging career by haranguing fellow TV pioneers Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams for work. DCP, b&w, 60 min. CBS. Production: Desilu Productions. Executive Producer: Desi Arnaz. Producer: Bert Granet. Director: Desi Arnaz. Writers: Bob Schiller, With: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Ernie Kovacs, Edie Adams. The Mothers-in-Law home movies U.S., ca. 1967 Shot on the set of the short-lived sitcom The Mothers-in-Law (1967–69), these home movies, with commentary by longtime Desilu collaborators, writer Madelyn Pugh and editor Dann Chan, and series star Kaye Ballard, offer a rare glimpse of Desi Arnaz at work as executive producer and director.

The box office opens one hour before the event. British Sounds U.K., 1970 When their surprised patrons ask the theater staff in Nathan Gelgud’s book Reel Politik what they plan to show in their newly liberated movie house, “the Godard-Gorin stuff” is at the top of their list. An agitprop primer in Marx and Mao, radical feminism, and the deconstruction of capitalist image production, British Sounds was Jean-Luc Godard’s first completed project with the Dziga Vertov Group, a militant film collective that included Jean-Pierre Gorin and Jean-Henri Roger, and marked the New Wave icon’s radical break from auteurist filmmaking. Overlapping voiceover readings from the Communist Manifesto and other radical texts illuminate and clash with an extended montage — a car assembly line, a union strategy meeting, a nude woman at home, student organizers — that suggests, if not a fully realized vision, a vital new cinema struggling to be born. DCP, color, 54 min. Directors/Screenwriters: Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Henri Roger. The Third Generation Germany, 1979 The precision and elegance of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s camerawork (he also acted as cinematographer) stands in sharp contrast to the shambolic activities of the would-be terrorist cadre he turns his gaze on in this late ’70s satire of bourgeois revolutionaries. Contrasts bold and subtle abound in this film suffused with high art cinematic allusions and bathroom graffiti, banal routines and sudden bursts of violence. Ostensibly living underground while making vague plans to kidnap a corporate fat cat, these middle-class Marxists play Monopoly to unwind even as their target unspools plans of his own to turn the threat of terrorism into higher profits. DCP, color, in German with English subtitles, 110 min. Director/Screenwriter: Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

It has been thirty years since Noah Baumbach arrived on the scene with Kicking and Screaming (1995), a film that announced a generational talent. In Jay Kelly, Baumbach returns to some of the thornier areas of investigation in his work—the examination of failure, the endless complexities of family, and treacherous journeys of self-discovery. As uniquely embodied by George Clooney as the title character, and Adam Sandler as his endlessly loyal manager, we experience both the euphoria and pain of a creative life lived in the public eye. Co-written with Emily Mortimer and featuring an all-star line-up of acting talent, this is an "insiders" view that invites us all along for the ride. 2025. USA. Directed by Noah Baumbach.

Understated auteur Kelly Reichardt's return to more suspenseful genre fare since Night Moves (2013) is The Mastermind, an art heist-turned-character portrait of a Massachusetts father inching closer to the fringes. A frequent visitor to the sleepy Framingham Museum of Art with his wife and kids, out-of-work architect JB Mooney (Josh O'Connor), enlists a shaggy group of local crooks to swipe a few Arthur Dove paintings from the galleries in broad daylight. As the investigation into the robbery begins, Mooney starts to unravel. Set in 1970, Reichardt skillfully uses an America upended by the Vietnam War and transformed by the Civil Rights Movement as a backdrop for the frenzied and desperate Mooney to stay out of the hands of the authorities. Underpinned by stellar performances from the ensemble, including Hope Davis, Bill Camp, Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffman, and John Magaro, The Mastermind is an exemplary Reichardt film with a richly intimate and flawed world, populated by even more textured characters. 2025. USA. Written and directed by Kelly Reichardt. With Josh O’Connor, Alana Haim, Hope Davis. DCP courtesy MUBI. 110 min.
