Today
Second Chance Film Festival
Sun 6/28 RSVP
James Bridges Theatre
We welcome you to this year’s first collaborative Second Chance Festival with UCLA’s Prison Education Program. Join us for a day of films and meaningful conversations exploring incarceration, reentry, and what a second chance can look like. The festival will feature screenings of The Alabama Solution, The Strike, and The Inside Scholars. In honor of Second Chance Month, this collaborative film festival brings together students, educators, and community members to engage with stories that illuminate the lived realities of incarceration and the transformative power of education. Hosted in partnership with the Prison Education Program, the event will include a curated film screening followed by a guided discussion focused on second chances, reentry, and the structural role of education in advancing justice and equity. This space is intended to foster reflection, dialogue, and collective learning while uplifting voices and experiences often marginalized within higher education spaces.

Legacy
Sun 6/28 • 7PM PDT
Billy Wilder Theater
In person: director Karen Arthur; editor Carol Littleton; Paula Chambers, daughter of screenwriter and actor Joan Hotchkis; composer Roger Kellaway. Guest speaker Legacy is the story of Bissie Hapgood, a woman unraveling under the pressures of a vapid and materialistic society consumed with dinner-plate settings, soap operas and sexual frustration. The material originated as a one-woman show in 1973, written and performed by Joan Hotchkis, a versatile talent celebrated for her roles on television series including The Odd Couple and The Life and Times of Eddie Roberts. Karen Arthur, a first-time filmmaker, saw Hotchkis on stage and convinced the actor to adapt the screenplay and star in the film. Independently produced and financed, Legacy, like its peers Wanda (1970) and A Woman Under the Influence (1974), confounds 1970s Hollywood’s expectations with the introduction of a new kind of cinematic woman. Bissie stuns audiences with her honesty that is confrontational, yet heartfelt and a vulnerability that is never sentimental and always surprising. Legacy features an exceptional crew at the start of what would become a set of accomplished careers. Arthur, who would go on to direct The Mafu Cage (1978) and become a prolific television director, winning an Emmy Award for Cagney & Lacey, collaborated with cinematographer John Bailey (Ordinary People, 1980, In the Line of Fire, 1993) and editor Carol Littleton (E.T., 1982, The Manchurian Candidate, 2004).
