Undergraduate students are rarely taught how science and medicine perpetuate disparities or how these fields can be leveraged for change. During this seminar, Dr. Tripp will address how undergraduate science education can play a role in addressing persistent health disparities rooted in systemic oppression and implicit bias through justice-centered science curricula from her study. Undergraduate researchers with lived experiences of oppression, alongside community partners, co-created Social Justice in Science case studies that were implemented in an upper-division human physiology course. These materials guided pre-health students to connect physiology content with broader issues of health disparities and advocacy. Findings from student interviews revealed growth in critical consciousness, encompassing the ability to critically reflect on structural oppression that produces inequities, to develop critical self-efficacy to challenge these injustices, and to act in solidarity with those most affected. These findings underscore how justice-centered, community-informed curricula can empower educators to cultivate socially responsive healthcare professionals and scientists prepared to confront inequities. Bio: Brie Tripp is an Associate Professor of Teaching at the University of California, Davis. She leads a lab of undergraduate researchers who study how to promote social and racial justice in undergraduate science classrooms, as well as the impacts of alternative grading practices. The lab performs mixed methods education and psychology research by centering students’ voices from underserved communities and developing justice-centered curricula in physiology and neurobiology education.

The Man Without a World U.S., 1991 Los Angeles restoration premiere! Through the persona of a censored, persecuted Soviet-era filmmaker, Yevgeny Antinov, writer-director Eleanor Antin constructs a captivating silent film portrait of Jewish shtetl life in 1920s Poland. Evocative of Guy Maddin, Antin remediates and repurposes period melodrama suffusing Jewish communal life before the Holocaust with mysticism, politics and homespun wisdom swirling in a pot of love, jealousy and murder. Presented with live original music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin, The Man Without a World was largely overlooked on its initial release but, restored in 2020, it is, as Ross Lipman writes, “ripe to at last be truly discovered.”—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, b&w, silent with live musical accompaniment, 98 min.

Four Women U.S., 1975 Set to Nina Simone’s stirring ballad of the same name, Julie Dash’s dance film features Linda Martina Young as strong “Aunt Sarah,” tragic mulatto “Saffronia,” sensuous “Sweet Thing” and militant “Peaches.” Kinetic camerawork and editing, richly colored lighting, and meticulous costume, makeup and hair design work together with Young’s sensitive performance to turn longstanding Black female stereotypes to oblique, critical angles.—Jacqueline Stewart 16mm, color, 7 min.

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.

Who better to explain California’s economy than a Bruin? California—the world’s fourth-largest economy—is evolving rapidly amid global trade shifts, government spending debates, demographic transitions, and the rise of artificial intelligence. To help the UCLA community make sense of these forces, join us for a special conversation with Dr. Somjita Mitra ’00, Chief Economist for the California Department of Finance. Dr. Mitra will provide a clear and accessible forecast of where California’s economy is heading, offering insight on: * Demographic & workforce trends – How population changes, regional migration, and AI adoption are reshaping California’s labor force—from Silicon Valley engineers to Central Valley service workers. * Tariffs & global trade – How supply-chain realignments are impacting California’s key industries: technology, agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing. * Federal government shutdown effects – How interruptions to federal funding could ripple through California’s economy, affecting universities, public programs, research grants, and the state’s many government-adjacent employers. * AI & innovation – How emerging technologies are redefining productivity and competitiveness across Hollywood, biotech, and beyond. After Dr. Mitra’s presentation, participants will be invited into small-group breakout sessions to explore key themes more deeply and connect with fellow Bruins for open discussion and idea sharing. **About the Speaker** Dr. Somjita Mitra serves as Chief Economist at the California Department of Finance, where she oversees the Economic Research Unit responsible for preparing the state’s economic forecasts and advising on policy developments. She also guides the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors and provides analysis to the Director of Finance, the Governor’s administration, and other state and local agencies. Before joining the Department of Finance, Dr. Mitra was Director of the Institute for Applied Economics at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), where she led regional and industry studies across California. Earlier in her career, she worked as an economist and consultant specializing in market analysis, economic damages, and strategic research for public and private clients. A member of the Public Policy Institute of California’s Economic Policy Center Advisory Council, Dr. Mitra earned her BA in Economics and Political Science from UCLA and her MA and PhD in Economics from Claremont Graduate University. **Why Attend** This webinar is designed for Bruins across all fields—not just those in economics or government. * **For alumni:** Gain credible insights to inform business strategy, investments, and career planning. * **For students:** Connect classroom learning to real-world job markets. * **For faculty & staff:** Understand the broader economic forces shaping higher education and community engagement. This program highlights the influence of UCLA leadership in guiding policy, innovation, and economic resilience across California.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Robin Choudhury, professor of cardiovascular medicine, University of Oxford When Aristotle searched for the first signs of life, he lifted a flap in the shell of a fertilized chick egg and there he saw a beating heart – the self-evident originator of life. The beating heart has fascinated thinkers from Aristotle to Aquinas, Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes and Pascal. Across time and place, the story of our understanding of the heart has been richly decorated with images that illuminate the dance between art, religion, philosophy and ‘scientific’ thinking. It is a truly interdisciplinary organ. The secret of our fascination lies in its apparent sentience and automatic and responsive beat. The mystery of the self-beating heart was solved by Professor Denis Noble (as a graduate student in London in 1960). A demonstration of early biological computation, he solved the puzzle that had hung over the ages. And yet, even as the heart function is understood, it retains all its fascination as a cultural icon. This is the story of The Beating Heart. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served.

Undergraduate students are rarely taught how science and medicine perpetuate disparities or how these fields can be leveraged for change. During this seminar, Dr. Tripp will address how undergraduate science education can play a role in addressing persistent health disparities rooted in systemic oppression and implicit bias through justice-centered science curricula from her study. Undergraduate researchers with lived experiences of oppression, alongside community partners, co-created Social Justice in Science case studies that were implemented in an upper-division human physiology course. These materials guided pre-health students to connect physiology content with broader issues of health disparities and advocacy. Findings from student interviews revealed growth in critical consciousness, encompassing the ability to critically reflect on structural oppression that produces inequities, to develop critical self-efficacy to challenge these injustices, and to act in solidarity with those most affected. These findings underscore how justice-centered, community-informed curricula can empower educators to cultivate socially responsive healthcare professionals and scientists prepared to confront inequities. Bio: Brie Tripp is an Associate Professor of Teaching at the University of California, Davis. She leads a lab of undergraduate researchers who study how to promote social and racial justice in undergraduate science classrooms, as well as the impacts of alternative grading practices. The lab performs mixed methods education and psychology research by centering students’ voices from underserved communities and developing justice-centered curricula in physiology and neurobiology education.

A Place of Rage U.S., 1991 This insightful documentary, one of Pratibha Parmar’s early features, delivers candid interviews with activists Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker where they talk through their experiences with the Civil Rights, Black Power, Feminist and LGBTQ+ movements. As they reassess key figures like Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer, the film offers essential perspectives from the 1990s culture wars that provide vital historical context for ongoing struggles for justice and equality. DCP, color, 52 min. Director: Pratibha Parmar. With: Angela Davis, June Jordan, Alice Walker. My Name Is Andrea U.S., 2022 Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea is a bold hybrid documentary reexamining the life and legacy of radical feminist Andrea Dworkin. Decades before #MeToo, Dworkin challenged sexism and rape culture with fearless urgency, shaped by values learned in the Civil Rights Movement. Blending rare archival footage with performances of Dworkin’s salient writing by Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg, Andrea Riseborough and Christine Lahti, Parmar crafts a rousing portrait of a brilliant yet misunderstood public intellectual whose searing call for justice still resonates powerfully today.

I May Destroy You U.K., 2020 Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a radical, genre-defying exploration of trauma, consent and creative survival in the post-#MeToo era. Professor Kathleen McHugh’s latest research on women and anger explores the topic through the series, which, McHugh argues, channels Coel’s anger as both trauma response and creative force. The result: a bold, complex portrait of survival, consent and artistic self-possession. Inspired by Coel’s own experience of assault, the series follows Arabella, a rising writer whose rape during a night out shatters her sense of reality. In Episode 1, Arabella vanishes into the night, only to wake with no memory and a wound on her forehead. Episode 9 explores how her growing online presence alienates those closest to her. The finale imagines alternate confrontations with her rapist before Arabella ultimately reclaims her narrative. Formally daring and emotionally fearless, Coel’s series resists tidy resolutions, instead offering a bold meditation on self-preservation and the messy, nonlinear work of healing. Professor McHugh will give a brief talk, followed by a screening and on-stage conversation. Episode 1: “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” Digital video, color, 30 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller.

Twentieth Kenneth Karmiole Lecture on the History of the Book Trade, Lecture by William Zachs, Director of the Blackie House Library and Museum. In this lecture, William Zachs outlines the origins of stereotype printing (print production from metal plates rather than moveable type), then turns his focus to the “non-moveable type” productions of Edinburgh goldsmith William Ged (c. 1683–1749). Taking a forensic look at Ged’s few known works, Zachs hypothesizes the existence of a group of previously unknown stereotyped books, thus offering a revised history of alternative methods of book production in Britain in the first half of the 18th century.

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

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.

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

Eyes on Ukraine U.S./Ukraine, 2025 In commemoration of AIDS Awareness Month (and World AIDS Day, December 1), the UCLA Film & Television Archive presents the official world premiere of Eyes on Ukraine, a powerful documentary that explores the intersection of two crises — war and the HIV epidemic. Directed by Mo Stoebe and executive produced by Richard Gere, the film follows HIV-positive Ukrainian activist Yana Panfilova as she joins “Through Positive Eyes,” a global photo-storytelling project co-directed by award-winning South African photographer Gideon Mendel and the UCLA Art & Global Health Center. Part of an engrossing visual anthology that connects the power of community, art and activism in the face of a global pandemic, Eyes on Ukraine depicts the harrowing and inspiring daily struggle of young people living with HIV. Arriving at a time when the global health community is confronting historic cuts to research and support, Eyes on Ukraine looks to the resilience of a new generation, navigating survival and community through art and activism. Preceding the film will be a short presentation looking back at the history of “Through Positive Eyes,” an initiative of MAKE ART/STOP AIDS. A post-screening panel will focus on the quickly changing landscape of HIV/AIDS funding, featuring UCLA faculty and a representative group of international “Through Positive Eyes” “artivists.” DCP, color, 37 min.

Chasing the Moon U.S., 1991 Chasing the Moon, directed by Dawn Suggs, is a lyrical, introspective work following a Black lesbian as she navigates the lingering impact of an attack that leaves her uneasy in public spaces.

Putney Swope U.S., 1969 Anarchic trickster of American cinema, Robert Downey Sr. is another pillar in the canon of radicalized movie theater workers in Nathan Gelgud’s book Reel Politik, and Putney Swope stands at the zenith of Downey’s devilish, bomb-throwing career. After the corporate board of a Madison Avenue ad firm accidentally votes its only Black member to be chairman, Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson) transforms the company’s image-making apparatus into a machine for revolution and profit. Soon, a parade of CEOs and activists alike are beating a path to his door to pay respects (and cash) to get their piece of the action. 35mm, color and b&w, 85 min.

De Niro reprises his character Jon Rubin from De Palma’s Greetings, now struggling to make a living, first with a voyeuristic pitch to a porn producer then as an actor in a political theater troupe looking to cash in on radical chic. Revolution is in the air and everyone seems in on the hustle as De Palma veers wildly from broad comedy to sexual farce to documentary-style realism and outright shock, deftly capturing the tumult of the times. 35mm, color and b&w, 87 min.

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. With: Harry Baer, Hark Bohm, Margit Carstensen. —Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm Part of: Reel Politik: Seizing the Means of Projection With Nathan Gelgud

Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Punishment Park U.S., 1971 Long before reality TV and the current right-wing vogue for alliterative concentration camps (Alligator Alcatraz, et al.), English filmmaker Peter Watkins envisaged the end point of the American right’s demonization of its political enemies in this still disturbing mockumentary. After Nixon declares a national emergency, convicted thought criminals — anti-war activists, conscientious objectors, civil rights leaders — are given a choice: go to prison or take their chances in Punishment Park, an inhospitable desert expanse where, if they can survive three days while being hunted by cops, they can win their freedom. As a European TV crew documents their tribunals and tribulations, a band of leftists struggle across the wasteland rallying around the shared humanity the authorities try to deny them. 35mm, color, 88 min. Director/Peter Watkins. With: Patrick Boland, Carmen Argenziano, Kent Foreman. Ice U.S., 1970 Of all the films in this series, Robert Kramer’s Ice unfolds with the least sense of irony in its rough-hewn, hand-held depiction of an earnest revolutionary network organizing against a fascist takeover of the American government. Kramer himself was co-founder of the radical New York-based collective Newsreel, which produced documentaries in support of leftist causes that would hopefully, in his words, “explode like a grenade in people’s faces.” Kramer’s experience with the era’s revolutionary underground informs Ice’s realism, from the furtive strategy sessions to internal ideological debates, punctuated by sudden bursts of violence. DCP, b&w, 128 min. Director/Screenwriter: Robert Kramer. With: Leo Braudy, Robert Kramer, Paul McIsaac. —Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm Part of: Reel Politik: Seizing the Means of Projection With Nathan Gelgud

Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. We Can’t Go Home Again U.S., 1973 If the theater workers in Nathan Gelgud’s book Reel Politik made a movie, it would look something like Nicholas Ray’s We Can’t Go Home Again. Beginning in 1969 and throughout his tenure teaching at Harpur College in New York, Ray recruited students to contribute improvised scenes to an audacious, idealist act of collective filmmaking that Ray wove into an ever-evolving, split-screen tapestry of the times. On its decidedly kaleidoscopic surface, Ray’s ostensible final feature contrasts sharply with his studio career — Rebel Without a Cause (1955), In a Lonely Place (1950), Johnny Guitar (1954) — even as its intensely personal, deeply empathetic and confessional tone resonates with the qualities that made Ray an exemplar Hollywood auteur. DCP, color and b&w, 93 min. Director/Screenwriter: Nicholas Ray. With: Nicholas Ray, Richard Bock, Tom Farrell. A Night at the Opera U.S., 1935 As ever with the Marx Brothers, it’s the delirious moments in between the plot points that make the experience. And of course, everyone will have their own favorites. For one of Nathan Gelgud’s reel revolutionaries, in A Night at the Opera it’s when the boys, on a steamship crossing the Atlantic, join a gathering of Italian immigrant families on the upper deck for a feast of spaghetti, music and dancing. It’s a beautiful sequence of abundance, togetherness and joy that she recalls in moments of doubt or despair. “I think the world could be like that,” she says. “And that keeps me going.” Amen. 35mm, b&w, 91 min. Director: Sam Wood. Screenwriters: Morrie Ryskind, George S. Kaufman. With: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, Harpo Marx.
