La Chinoise

Time Fri 11/21 • 7:30PM PST

Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum

In-person: Q&A with cartoonist and illustrator Nathan Gelgud and filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin. 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. La Chinoise France, 1967 A major influence on Nathan Gelgud’s book Reel Politik, Jean-Luc Godard’s La Chinoise follows a group of students who form a Maoist revolutionary group over their summer vacation. No lazy bunch, they start each day with calisthenics and slogans before a crowded schedule of Maoist lectures and discussions they lead themselves. Like the theater workers in Reel Politik, they learn revolution as they go. Boldly designed and obliquely stated, the film itself doubles as a catalog of its own political and aesthetic influences, with a regular stream of propaganda posters, comic books, news photos, book covers and slogans filling the frame like a cinematic syllabus for radical home schooling.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, color, in French with English subtitles, 96 min. Director/Screenwriter: Jean-Luc Godard. With: Anne Wiazemsky, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Juliet Berto. Part of: Reel Politik: Seizing the Means of Projection With Nathan Gelgud

The Best of Ralph Story's Los Angeles

Time Sat 11/22 • 7:30PM PST

Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment In-person: Joe Saltzman, Alison Martino. 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. Premiering in 1964 on CBS affiliate KNXT (now KCBS), Ralph Story’s Los Angeles (1964–69) remains one of the most fondly remembered series in L.A. television history (and one of the most requested items in the UCLA Film & Television Archive’s collections). Created by Dan Gingold (of KNXT's historic The Big News broadcast), the locally produced Ralph Story’s Los Angeles explored the history, personalities and landmarks of L.A. in one of the first newsmagazine-styled programs on television. Foregrounding the warm, wry personality of newsman and commentator Ralph Story, the local Emmy-winning series earned high television ratings, often outperforming network programs in prime time. In later years, the innovative series inspired an entire genre of popular local TV programs covering the unique landscape of Los Angeles, including Visiting With Huell Howser. Today, the surviving episodes of Ralph Story's Los Angeles represent an invaluable moving image archival record of an evolving L.A. as it stood at mid-century. Join us for a reprise of a specially curated best of Ralph Story’s Los Angeles omnibus, last presented a decade ago to a sold-out crowd at the Archive’s This Is the City symposium. Featuring excerpts and complete episodes documenting such iconic locales as Angels Flight, Clifton’s Cafeteria, Disneyland at night, Sunset Boulevard, the long lost landmarks Hollywood Ranch Market and Beverly Park, and more! With in-person guests Joe Saltzman, producer of Ralph Story’s Los Angeles, and historian Alison Martino of Vintage Los Angeles. Before the screening in the lobby, there will be a display of a selection of archival materials from the Ralph Story papers in UCLA Library Special Collections. Programmed and notes written by John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley. Ralph Story’s Los Angeles U.S, 1965–69 DCP, b&w and color, approx. 110 min. KNXT. Executive producer: Dan Gingold. Producer: Joe Saltzman. Director: Jim Johnson. Writer: Jere Witter, Nate Kaplan. Angels Flight segment: Executive producer: Joe Sands. Producer: Dan Gingold. Director: Dan Gingold. Writers: Jere Witter, Nate Kaplan. Preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Video transfers at DC Video; engineering services by David Crosthwait. Additional transfers at CBS Media Exchange.

Born in Flames / Stranger Inside

Time Sun 11/23 • 7PM PST

Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum

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. Born in Flames U.S., 1983 This radical, post-punk vision of feminist revolt is set in a dystopian New York a decade after a failed social-democratic revolution. When Adelaide Norris, founder of the Women’s Army, is mysteriously killed, women across race, class and sexual orientation unite to challenge a government bent on repression. Shot guerrilla-style on the streets of 1980s pre-gentrified New York, on a $40,000 budget, over five years, the film is a fierce DIY manifesto and unforgettable entry in the canon of science fiction genre films. It remains a landmark of feminist cinema — visionary and startlingly urgent. DCP, color, 80 min. Director/Screenwriter: Lizzie Borden. With: Jean Satterfield. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with restoration funding from the Golden Globe Foundation and The Film Foundation, and supervised and approved by director Lizzie Borden. Stranger Inside U.S., 2001 Cheryl Dunye’s Stranger Inside is a raw, gripping women’s prison drama starring Yolonda Ross as Treasure, a young butch who commits a crime to reunite with her lifer mother, Brownie (Davenia McFadden). By engaging and reshaping women-in-prison film conventions, Dunye centers incarcerated Black lesbians and their family ties rather than crime or punishment. This constitutes “a radical act — to center Black queer women behind bars, on their own terms,” says Dunye. Through its intimate focus and Dunye’s auteurist vision, the film reframes a marginalized community, blending maternal melodrama and genre subversion into a landmark of American independent cinema. DCP, color, 97 min. Director/Screenwriter: Cheryl Dunye. With: Yolonda Ross, Davenia McFadden. —guest programmer Kathleen McHugh Part of: A Place of Rage: Women and Anger on Screen
