This Bitter (but Beautiful) Earth: A Crushing Love + Short Films

Time Fri 10/17 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

In-person: Q&A with Associate Professor Josslyn Luckett, NYU Cinema Studies (before "A Crushing Love"). Luckett will sign copies of "Toward a More Perfect Rebellion: Multiracial Media Activism Made in L.A." before the screening beginning at 6:30 p.m. 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. Agueda Martinez: Our People, Our Country U.S., 1977 This Academy Award–nominated short documentary offers a luminous portrait of 80-year-old Navajo great-grandmother Agueda Martinez, whose life is deeply rooted in the land of New Mexico. Sepia-toned family photos paired with Agueda’s confident voice-over ground the film as we witness intimate footage of her plowing fields, harvesting crops, tending livestock and weaving intricate serape blankets late into the night. Agueda's insightful reflections on herbs, spirituality and ancestry reveal generational knowledge sustained by a profound connection to place and ritual. This quietly powerful work stands as a timeless celebration of steadfast stewardship of sacred land.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 16 min. Director: Esperanza Vasquez. Water Ritual #1: An Urban Rite of Purification U.S., 1979 Created with performer Yolanda Vidato, this short is a pioneering work of Black feminist and experimental filmmaking. Shot in 16mm black-and-white in an area of Watts cleared for the unbuilt I-105 freeway and later abandoned, the film follows Milanda (Vidato) through symbolic, improvisational acts that layer African, Caribbean and urban Los Angeles imagery. Structured as a ritual for filmmaker Barbara McCullough’s “participant-viewers,” it honors Black and Third World women’s beauty and self-possession while also confronting how poverty and systemic neglect shape the landscape. As the film explores themes of resilience and psychic survival, it transforms a site of urban blight into consecrated ground.—Jacqueline Stewart 35mm, color, 6 min. Director: Barbara McCoullough. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funded with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant Program funded by The Film Foundation. Wong Sinsaang U.S., 1971 Opening with the hiss of steam machines and the chatter of white customers in his father’s Silver Lake dry cleaning business, this short contrasts stereotype with intimacy, revealing Mr. Wong’s rich inner life. By narrating his own conflicted feelings of admiration and frustration and juxtaposing the grind of the laundromat — where Mr. Wong endures daily humiliations — with serene images of him practicing tai chi and writing poetry, Eddie Wong crafts a bittersweet document of immigrant labor and his father’s search for dignity and prosperity.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, b&w, 12 min. Director: Eddie Wong. I Don’t Think I Said Much U.S., 1975 This tender portrait of Japanese American gardener Elmer Uchida blends documentary and fiction, opening with still photographs and disembodied voices before unfolding in slow-motion scenes of his daily work. Archival material, scripted commentary and intimate voice-over enrich the portrait, while UCLA Ethno-Communications filmmaker Jeff Furumura transforms the rhythms of gardening and Suiseki (Japanese rock appreciation) into poetic meditations on dignity and beauty. The result is a film that honors the quiet artistry and depth of a life too often overlooked.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, b&w, color, 16 min. Director: Jeff Furumura. The Horse U.S., 1973 In this film based on writer-director Charles Burnett’s unpublished short story, a young Black boy gently comforts a horse fated to be killed on a remote California ranch. As three white men look on and hurl racial slurs at his absent father, tension builds. When the father (played by fellow UCLA Ethno-Communications alum Larry Clark) arrives, Burnett, exercising noticeable restraint, captures a fleeting moment of tenderness before shifting to the grim task at hand. Through the boy’s gaze, we feel the weight of witnessing the dehumanizing labor his father’s generation endured under white employers.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett 35mm, color, 14 min. Director/Screenwriter: Charles Burnett. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funded in part with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Sleepwalker U.S., 1971 This quiet, dreamlike study of solitude and the aftermath of political struggle follows an Asian American typist through long bus rides and monotonous office work. Her exhaustion is evident in aching hands and downcast glances. When she skips work for a wandering walk, fleeting moments of play and memory emerge. Shot on 16mm in black-and-white with layered imagery and a striking soundscape, the film draws on director Laura Ho Fineman’s real-life activism

Four Women U.S., 1975 Four Women transforms Nina Simone’s ballad into an experimental dance film that explores identity and survival. Dancer Linda Martina Young embodies Aunt Sarah, Saffronia, Sweet Thing and Peaches, shifting costume and movement to reflect each archetype. Filmmaker Julie Dash’s editing mirrors Simone’s vocals, pausing moments of motion before dissolving into the next image. One of the first experimental films by a Black woman filmmaker, it fuses music, dance and cinema into a bold statement of Black feminist artistry.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 10 min. Director: Julie Dash. With: Linda Martina Young. Restored by Indie Collect in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive and Women Make Movies. La Raza: “Celebration” U.S., 1974 “For la raza, we live to celebrate life,” declares host Ricardo Montalbán at the start of this episode, which captures the vibrancy of Mexican American celebrations and cultural traditions. Part of the six-episode McGraw Hill public affairs series La Raza that aired in 1974, it is directed by husband-and-wife UCLA Ethno-Communications alumni Moctesuma Esparza and Esperanza Vasquez. Blending Montalbán’s classic charm with intimate footage of community gatherings and dazzling musical performances, the episode foregrounds the richness of la vida and delivers an affirming portrait of a people too often overlooked or stereotyped on screen.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 53 min. Directors: Moctesuma Esparza, Esperanza Vasquez. With: Ricardo Montalbán. Cruisin’ J Town U.S., 1975 Directed by Duane Kubo, who earned a UCLA bachelor’s degree in astronomy and astrophysics in 1974, this short documentary explores the roots of the popular jazz fusion band Hiroshima in Los Angeles’ pre-redevelopment Little Tokyo. The group members discuss the sociological, political and cultural pulse of the early 1970s while reflecting on influences in Asian American music.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, color, 26 min. Director: Duane Kubo. Cycles U.S., 1989 This exuberant experimental drama follows Rasheeda Allen as she anxiously awaits her overdue period. Blending live action with animation, filmmaker Zeinabu irene Davis draws on Caribbean folklore to craft a film language rooted in African American women’s experiences. As Rasheeda cleans her home and performs purification rituals, a layered soundtrack of African and diasporic music, including artists like Miriam Makeba and Clora Bryant, deepens the film’s sensory world. Hailed as “a brilliantly innovative reflection on Black womanhood” by the Los Angeles Times, Davis’ bold imagination shines.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 17 min.

Television Landmarks: An Evening With Fred Astaire (1958) and Another Evening With Fred Astaire (195

Time Sun 10/19 • 7PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment Part of: Archive Television Treasures In-person: Introduction by former Television Archivist Dan Einstein. Q&A with dancer and actor Barrie Chase. 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. On October 17, 1958, the supreme talents of Fred Astaire leapt off of small screens across the United States in living color on NBC. Executive produced by Astaire, the innovative An Evening With Fred Astaire represents a creative zenith and technical milestone as one of the earliest television specials utilizing color videotape. Serving as a showcase for the peerless dancing that made Astaire a beloved international star, the critically acclaimed TV special was honored with nine Emmy Awards across artistic and technical categories along with a Peabody Award. Notably, the program paired maestro Astaire with Barrie Chase, an extremely gifted dancer of athleticism and grace whom Astaire would later name as one of his favorite dance partners in his legendary career. In 1987, An Evening With Fred Astaire enjoyed further accolades as the UCLA Film & Television Archive presented the special to new audiences following an arduous restoration process of the original 2 in. color videotape masters. The technically challenging preservation project garnered engineers Ed Reitan and Don Kent, Television Archivist Dan Einstein and the Archive technical Emmy Awards. Virtually unseen since airing on the Disney Channel in 1987, join us for a rare screening of the television landmark An Evening With Fred Astaire and its masterful follow-up Another Evening With Fred Astaire (1959). In between episodes there will be a Q&A with dancer and actor Barrie Chase, co-star of the Fred Astaire specials, moderated by Maya Montañez Smukler, Archive Research and Study Center Officer. Introduction by former UCLA Television Archivist Dan Einstein. Program notes by Mark Quigley, John H. Mitchell Television Curator. An Evening With Fred Astaire U.S., 10/17/1958 In this first of four groundbreaking color specials starring Fred Astaire broadcast by NBC between 1958 and 1968, program executive producer and star Astaire, and his new dance partner Barrie Chase, set the small screen ablaze to unprecedented critical acclaim. Highlights include “Change Partners” with a luminous Astaire and Chase and the jazz stylings of Jonah Jones and his Quartet. DCP, color, 60 min. NBC. Production: Ava Productions, in association with the NBC Television Network. Executive Producer: Fred Astaire. Producer: Bud Yorkin. Director: Bud Yorkin.

Joining the living color festivities are Astaire’s favorite drummer Alvin Stoller and The Bill Thompson Singers. DCP, color, 60 min. NBC. Production: Ava Productions. Executive Producer: Fred Astaire. Producer: Bud Yorkin. Director: Bud Yorkin. With: Fred Astaire, Barrie Chase, Jonah Jones Quartet.
