The Siren France/Germany/Luxembourg/Belgium, 2023 For 14-year-old Omid, the Iran-Iraq War begins with rockets tearing over a soccer game he’s playing with his friends in the Iranian port of Abadan. After Omid refuses to evacuate with his mother, he takes over an injured friend’s food delivery route that brings him into contact with a disparate group of eccentrics struggling to survive the chaos. With the city soon poised to fall, they band together to devise a daring escape plan. In deploying a 2D animation style to tell this story of war, director Sepideh Farsi (Red Rose, 2015 UCLA Celebration of Iranian Cinema) confronts its horrors head on while illuminating in fresh and visually compelling ways the humanity besieged by it. DCP, color, in Persian with English subtitles, 100 min. Director: Sepideh Farsi. Screenwriter: Javad Djavahery. With: Mina Kavani, Hamidreza Djavdan, Parviz Sayyad.

Part of the 2025 UCLA Celebration of Iranian Cinema Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A with Maryam Mehrjui and Safa Mehrjui, daughter and son of Dariush Mehrjui. Please note: registration does not guarantee entry if the event reach capacity. Admission is granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Patrons who have registered will need to obtain their free tickets at the box office, where seating will be assigned. Any seats remaining 15 minutes before showtime will be released to standby patrons. Writer-director Dariush Mehrjui studied cinema and philosophy at UCLA before returning to Iran in the late 1960s where his second feature The Cow is credited with launching the Iranian New Wave. A giant of Iran cinema for over five decades until his untimely, tragic death in 2023, Mehrjui was a fierce critic of the Iranian regime and fought government censorship throughout his career. In his films, he explored the psychological toll of fear, ignorance and oppression on the lives of individuals with grace, insight and poetry. The Archive is honored to present a two-evening tribute (June 28 and 29) to his life and legacy featuring some of his greatest works. Leila Iran, 1997 Soon after meeting at a joyful gathering of family and friends, Leila (Leila Hatami) and Reza (Ali Mosaffa) are happily married. When Leila learns she can’t have children, however, that supportive network of relations becomes an unrelenting force of social pressure that threatens to drive them apart, most forcefully articulated by Reza’s domineering mother who insists Leila allow Reza to take a second wife. Hatami delivers a devastating performance in Dariush Mehrjui’s unforgettable portrait of a woman under emotional siege that film critic Amy Taubin called “the most brilliant depiction of a marriage gone to hell that I’ve ever seen.” DCP, color, in Persian with English subtitles, 102 min. Director: Dariush Mehrjui. Screenwriters: Mahnaz Ansarian, Dariush Mehrjui. With: Leila Hatami, Ali Mosaffa, Jamileh Sheikhi.

Part of the 2025 UCLA Celebration of Iranian Cinema Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Introduction by Maryam Mehrjui and Safa Mehrjui, daughter and son of Dariush Mehrjui. Please note: registration does not guarantee entry if the event reach capacity. Admission is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Archive is honored to present a two-evening tribute (June 28 and 29) to his life and legacy featuring some of his greatest works. Hamoon Iran, 1990 “Why did it go wrong? How did it start?” So ruminates a bitter Hamoon (Khosro Shakibai) after his wife (Bita Farahi) demands a divorce, but the questions about his marriage take on ever stronger existential consequences. A middle manager at a trading company, the middle-aged Hamoon aspires to the intellectual life (his wife is a celebrated abstract painter) but his struggle to complete a philosophy thesis only compounds his sense of anger and resentment. Director and co-writer Dariush Mehrjui shakes up his acute study of a marriage and a life on the rocks with unreliable flashbacks and surreal dream sequences that draw us inexorably deeper in Hamoon’s collapsing psychology. DCP, color, in Persian with English subtitles, 120 min. Director: Dariush Mehrjui. Screenwriters: Dariush Mehrjui, Haroon Yashayayi. With: Khosro Shakibai, Bita Farahi, Ezzatolah Entezami. The Pear Tree Iran, 1998 An intellectual author struggling with writer’s block, Mahmoud (Homayoun Ershadi) retreats to the country villa where he grew up only to be confronted by a prized pear tree that refuses to bear fruit and aching memories of his first love, played by a radiant Golshifteh Farahani making her feature film debut. In Dariush Mehrjui’s masterpiece of middle-aged doubt, the personal and the political steep in longing and regret while almost every shot comes suffused in golden, autumnal light captured through the lens of cinematographer Mahmoud Kalari. DCP, color, in Persian with English subtitles, 95 min. Director: Dariush Mehrjui. Screenwriters: Dariush Mehrjui, Goli Taraghi. With: Homayoun Ershadi, Golshifteh Farahani.

Part of: Beyond Barbie Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Prerecorded video introduction and Q&A with "System Crasher" director Nora Fingscheidt. Summer 1993 Spain, 2017 Carla Simón’s tender coming-of-age film follows Frida, a young girl from Barcelona grieving her mother’s untimely death. Sent to live with her uncle’s family in rural Catalonia, Frida struggles with loss and belonging. The film unfolds from her perspective, capturing childhood’s quiet mysteries. Subtly alluding to the early ’90s HIV/AIDS crisis, it never explicitly names the illness. Through evocative performances from its child actors and Simón’s delicate hand, it portrays childhood grief and resilience with stunning, unspoken depth. DCP, color, 96 min. Director/Screenwriter: Carla Simón. With: Laia Artigas, Paula Robles, Bruna Cusí, David Verdaguer, Fermí Reixach. System Crasher Systemsprenger, Germany, 2019 The trauma-fueled rage of a volatile nine-year-old, Benni, pushes her through an endless cycle of foster homes. Actor Helena Zengel (News of the World) astonishes with her full-bodied performance. Avoiding sensationalism, writer-director Nora Fingscheidt immerses us in Benni’s chaotic world, where even the most patient caregivers struggle. The film offers no easy answers, instead it urges viewers to confront the complexities of trauma: How far are we willing to go to help wounded children heal? DCP, color, 119 min. Director/Screenwriter: Nora Fingscheidt. With: Helena Zengel, Albrecht Schuch, Gabriela Maria Schmeide, Lisa Hagmeister. —Public Programmer Beandrea July

Part of: Food and Film Presented by UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer Museum In-person: chef and restaurateur Alice Waters. 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. Pather Panchali India, 1955 A masterwork of world cinema, writer-director Satyajit Ray’s directorial debut, Pather Panchali (1955), is also one of its most eloquent expressions of food’s profound role in human life. Hunger frames much of Ray’s neorealist portrait of an impoverished family struggling to make ends meet in rural Bengal. Its ever-present threat lays bare the physical, cultural, emotional and spiritual dimensions of even the simplest meals. This evening’s program reflects on these resonances, particularly as intuitively understood by the couple’s young children, as well as pay tribute to Alice Waters’ longtime friend and cinema lover, Bay Area film curator, producer and festival director Tom Luddy.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, b&w, Bengali with English subtitles, 125 min. Director: Satyajit Ray. Screenwriter: Satyajit Ray. With: Kanu Bannerjee, Karuna Banerjee, Chunibala Devi. Special thanks to our community partner: UCLA Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies(opens in a new tab).

Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A with filmmakers Lupita Limón Corrales and Diego Robles, moderated by UCLA Activist-in-Residence James Suazo. 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. (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home opens with the works and words of community organizers and filmmakers. Through meetings, poetry and visual arts education and collaboration, these artists engage profoundly with their communities. The films in this program depict the ongoing housing struggles from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The evening includes films by UCLA alumni: L.A. Rebellion filmmakers Charles Burnett (’69, M.F.A. ’77) and Shirikiana Aina (M.A. ’82), Los Angeles Filmforum programmer and educator Diego Robles (’06) and 2025 UCLA Luskin Institute Activist-in-Residence(opens in a new tab) Lupita Limón Corrales.—Associate Programmer Nicole Ucedo Brick by Brick U.S., 1982 Brick by Brick is an unflinching documentary portrait of late-’70s Washington, D.C., where Black residents face displacement amid rising gentrification. Juxtaposing the iconography of national monuments with scenes of homelessness blocks away, the film highlights the Seaton Street project, a powerful example of tenant resistance. Nearly 40 years later, Shirikiana Aina’s debut remains a prescient testament to global struggles against displacement — and a reminder of who pays the price for so-called progress in the Chocolate City.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 37 min. Director: Shirikiana Aina. When It Rains U.S., 1995 On New Year’s Day, a man tries to help a woman pay her rent and learns a lesson in connecting with others in a community. Ayuko Babu, founding director of the Pan African Film Festival of Los Angeles, assumes the lead role in a pleasingly empathic reading. 35mm, 13 min. Director/Screenwriter: Charles Burnett. With: Ayuko Babu, Florence Bracy, Kenny Merritt. We Are Wyvernwood U.S., 2011 This collaborative film project between Diego Robles, the LA Co-Media film collective and residents of the Wyvernwood Garden apartment complex in Boyle Heights introduces the Wyvernwood community and their shared struggle against displacement. Filmmaker and educator Diego Robles was invited to collaborate on film education initiatives at Wyvernwood during the early days of the recession — a time when residents were mobilizing against the looming threat of demolition. Through this partnership, Robles guided and participated in the creation of short films that honor the vibrant and unique community Wyvernwood residents are determined to protect.—Associate Programmer Nicole Ucedo DCP, 7 min., in English and Spanish with English subtitles. Directors: Diego Robles, Abraham Osuna of Los Angeles Collective Media (LA Co-Media), Wyvernwood residents Roberto Mujíca and Gumaro Oviedo, the Los Angeles Conservancy. Producer: Karina Muñiz. Nuestros Videos Culturales para la Preservación de Wyvernwood (Our Cultural Videos for the Preservation of Wyvernwood) U.S., 2009 Erasto Arena documented the images seen in Nuestros Videos Culturales para la Preservación de Wyvernwood at a community gathering and procession. The footage was edited by Diego Robles with input from Arena, who wanted to convey the feeling of everything moving fast and slow at the same time. For the residents of Wyvernwood, life does move at a rapid pace as they balance full-time jobs, raising children, organizing community events and resisting eviction and demolition.—Associate Programmer Nicole Ucedo DCP, 4 min. Directors: Erasto Arena de Tejaluca Puebla, Comité de la Esperanza, Diego Robles of Los Angeles Collective Media (LA Co-Media). The Need for Roots U.S., 2023 As a poet and organizer, Lupita Limón Corrales’ voice speaks clearly and loudly on the issues she and her Los Angeles community face. Lupita’s first film, The Need for Roots speaks on these issues too, but without her usual spoken word. Here Lupita’s words are visual, overlaid on footage captured from her window and the surrounding streets. Lupita’s images portray both beauty and destruction as she reflects on the changes in her Echo Park neighborhood and why home is worth defending.—Associate Programmer Nicole Ucedo DCP, 3 min. Director/Screenwriter: Lupita Limón Corrales.

Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A in-between films with “Moonlight” co-writer Tarell Alvin McCraney and “Razing Liberty Square” director Katja Esson. 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. Razing Liberty Square U.S., 2023 As rising seas threaten Miami’s coast, developers turn inland to Liberty Square — a historically Black neighborhood and the South’s first segregated public housing — sitting 12 feet above sea level. Set where Moonlight was filmed, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Katja Esson’s “exposé of cynical impulses and failed promises” (Chicago Tribune) captures the six-year fight of residents battling displacement under a $300 million city “revitalization” plan. The film offers a timely warning and tribute to those refusing to bend to climate gentrification.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 83 min. Director: Katja Esson. Moonlight U.S., 2016 Set in Miami’s Liberty City, Moonlight was adapted from Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play about growing up Black and gay in a neighborhood marked by hardship and care. Also raised in Liberty City, filmmaker Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-winning film captures Chiron’s quiet, aching journey to selfhood across three chapters. Moonlight honors Miami’s textures and contradictions — its emotional power inseparable from Liberty City’s geography — and now stands as a vital record of this historic community now reshaped by climate gentrification and displacement.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 111 min. Director: Barry Jenkins. Screenwriters: Tarell Alvin McCraney, Barry Jenkins. With: Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes, André Holland, Janelle Monáe, Naomie Harris.

To receive updates, please sign up for our email newsletter at https://cinema.ucla.edu/signup. ---------- Part of: Archive Talks Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Professor Kathleen McHugh, Department of English and the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media. 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. Post-#MeToo, films and television shows — many written and directed by women — have redefined female anger not as sickness or evil, but as, in the words of Audre Lorde, “a source of information and energy” that has the potential to access “the living contexts of other women.” Professor Kathleen McHugh’s latest research on women and anger explores the topic through Michaela Coel’s groundbreaking series I May Destroy You, 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. Professor McHugh will give a brief talk, followed by a screening and on-stage conversation. 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. 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.—Public Programmer Beandrea July Episode 1: “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” Digital video, color, 30 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Marouane Zotti, Stephen Wight.

Updated June 6: Please note that this screening will no longer take place on July 20 and has been rescheduled to July 19. ---------- Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive 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. Measures of Distance U.K., 1988 In Measures of Distance, Mona Hatoum weaves letters from her mother in war-torn Beirut with layered images and voice, exploring exile, intimacy and the ruptures of forced separation. Born to Palestinian parents in Lebanon, Hatoum became an exile herself when civil war broke out during a visit to London. This tender, formally complex video challenges stereotypes of Arab womanhood while tracing fluctuating definitions of home — shaped by memory, longing and the distances that characterize displacement.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 15 min. Director: Mona Hatoum. Bye Bye Tiberias France/Palestine/Belgium/Qatar, 2023 Through present-day footage and family VHS archives, filmmaker Lina Soualem paints a lyrical, deeply personal portrait of four generations of women shaped by exile and longing. Soualem returns with her mother, actor Hiam Abbass (Succession), to their Palestinian village, where Abbass once took her swimming in Lake Tiberias “as if to bathe me in her story.” The film captures how its Arab women subjects carry history within them, even as the meaning of home constantly shifts beneath their feet.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 82 min. Director: Lina Soualem. Screenwriters: Lina Soualem, Nadine Naous, Gladys Joujou. With: Hiam Abbass, Um Ali, Nemat Abbass.

Part of: The Devil Finds Work: James Baldwin’s Cinema of the Mind Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Live dramatic reading of an excerpt of "The Devil Finds Work." 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. I Am Not Your Negro (excerpt) U.S., 2017 This bold, poetic visual essay channels James Baldwin’s final book proposal, Remember This House, and draws from The Devil Finds Work to examine how cinema shapes racial consciousness. Narrator Samuel L. Jackson voice-acts as Baldwin, molding his reflections on Hollywood and his friendships with civil rights movement martyrs — Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X — into a “life-altering” film (New York Times). It remains a timeless portrait of Baldwin’s enduring clarity, rage and moral vision on race and representation in America. DCP, b&w, color. Director: Raoul Peck. Screenwriters: James Baldwin, Raoul Peck. With: Samuel L. Jackson, James Baldwin. 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (excerpt) U.S., 1932 This pre-Code prison drama, based on Warden Lewis Lawes’ memoir, follows a prisoner (Spencer Tracy) who finds dignity behind bars and comfort in his girlfriend’s embrace (Bette Davis). Shot at the actual Sing Sing prison, it blends realism with melodrama to critique the penal system. Marked by his father’s cruelty as a boy — “the ugliest boy he had ever seen” — Baldwin found validation in Davis’ “pop-eyes popping” and recalled this as the first film that “shook” him. DCP, b&w. Director: Michael Curtiz. Screenwriters: Wilson Mizner, Brown Holmes. With: Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, Louis Calhern. You Only Live Once (excerpt) U.S., 1937 Fritz Lang’s noir-tinged crime romance stars Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney as doomed lovers caught in a cruel cycle of fate and injustice. Mixing German Expressionism with American fatalism, Lang’s film critiques the criminal justice system and the myth of second chances. For Baldwin, this was a foundational viewing — one that mapped his early cinematic imagination with themes of persecution, identity and moral ambiguity that would echo throughout his later writings. DCP, b&w. Director: Fritz Lang. Screenwriters: Gene Towne, Charles Graham Baker. With: Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Barton MacLane. My Son John (excerpt) U.S. 1952 This Cold War melodrama follows a devout Catholic couple who come to suspect their intellectual son is a Communist spy. As political paranoia fractures the family, Helen Hayes delivers a haunting performance as a mother torn between faith, patriotism, and maternal love. The film left a deep impression on James Baldwin — he writes, “And I will never forget it” — who recalled seeing it during a time of profound personal isolation. DCP, b&w. Director: Leo McCarey. Screenwriters: Leo McCarey, John Lee Mahin. With: Helen Hayes, Robert Walker, Dean Jagger. James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket U.S., 1985 This documentary captures the mind, voice and presence of one of America’s most vital writers. Beginning and ending with his funeral, the film traces James Baldwin’s journey from a turbulent Harlem childhood — brought to life through striking re-enactments — to his years abroad in France, Turkey and Switzerland. Blending interviews, archival footage and Baldwin’s electrifying oratory, it offers more than biography: it’s a visceral encounter with a singular intellectual and moral force. Restored from the original 16mm negatives. DCP, b&w, color, 87 min. Director: Karen Thorsen. Screenwriters: Karen Thorsen, Douglas K. Dempsey. With: James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, David Baldwin, William Styron.

Part of: Archive Television Treasures Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment 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. Several years before William Shatner first took the conn of the U.S.S. Enterprise on Star Trek, the beloved icon starred as a space crew leader in Arch Obler's television adaptation of his Broadway play “The Night of the Auk.” Obler's apocalyptic tale concerns the fateful actions of an extremely wealthy, egotistical industrialist (played by William Shatner) who finances a pioneering space flight for the U.S. government. As a member of the historic space crew, the industrialist’s malignant narcissism emerges under the allure of the media spotlight, triggering an escalating cascade of horrific events. The claustrophobic videotaped production, set entirely on the bridge of a spacecraft, provides a master showcase for Shatner, foreshadowing the trademark acting style he would soon perfect in the role of his lifetime as Captain James T. Kirk. Based on his drama “Rocket From Manhattan,” produced for the radio program Lights Out in 1945, Obler’s artful teleplay for “Night of the Auk” poetically examines the existential dangers of the space age amidst the backdrop of nuclear proliferation that defined the Cold War. Viewed 65 years after its original broadcast, this rare Play of the Week production proves eerily prescient, serving as a grim cautionary tale warning of the undue privilege, power and attention bestowed upon the ultra-wealthy, regardless of deficits of character. —John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley Play of the Week: “Night of the Auk” U.S., 5/2/1960 DCP, b&w, 120 min. Syndicated. Production: National Television Associates. Executive Producer: Worthington Miner. Producer: Lewis Freedman. Directors: Nikos Psacharopoulos, Mel London. Writer: Arch Oboler. With: William Shatner, Shepperd Strudwick, James MacArthur. Preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Video transfer at DC Video. Engineering services by David Crosthwait.

A Tale of Two Cities U.S., 1936 In this sweeping 1935 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel of the same name, Ronald Colman stars as Sydney Carton, a disillusioned lawyer who makes a redemptive sacrifice during the French Revolution. James Baldwin read the novel numerous times before his teacher Bill Miller took him to see the film. He was haunted by its final scene, an image he would carry with him for life.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 123 min. Director: Jack Conway. Screenwriters: W. P. Lipscomb, S. N. Behrman.

Part of: Robert Altman’s America: A Centennial Review Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive 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. Nashville U.S., 1975 Robert Altman had never been to Nashville when he asked screenwriter Joan Tewkesbury (Thieves Like Us) to go there and keep a travel diary as the basis for a “panorama which reflected America and its politics.” The masterful mashup that emerged from Tewkesbury’s experiences, deft on set improvisation and Altman’s feel for the times captures the moment when America’s political and celebrity cultures began to merge. The hustle for fame and votes run parallel across a homespun tapestry of stories that culminate in a (still) shocking act of violence. Spared from the satire peppered throughout, however, is an artistry unadorned and sincere, its fleeting beauty exemplified when Ronee Blakley sings.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, color, 160 min. Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriter: Joan Tewkesbury. With: Ronee Blakley, Henry Gibson, Lily Tomlin.
