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.

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.

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.

Part of: Archive Talks Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A with Mayukh Sen, author of "Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star," moderated by film programmer Miriam Bale. 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. Archive Talks pairs leading historians and scholars with screenings of the moving image media that is the focus of their writing and research. Each program will begin with a special talk by the invited scholar that will introduce audiences to new insights, interpretations and contexts for the films and media being screened. Dark Waters U.S., 1944 After her ship is sunk in the Pacific, a young woman fleeing war wakes in the hospital from a fever dream, distraught, despairing, alone in the world. Undoubtedly, star Merle Oberon could identify with the sense of alienation and anxiety that explodes from her character in the opening moments of director André de Toth’s Southern gothic thriller. Oberon forged a unique Hollywood career that included an early Oscar nomination for her performance in The Dark Angel (1935) and masterful turns in such classics as William Wyler’s These Three (1936) and Wuthering Heights (1939), all while concealing her identity as an Anglo Indian woman born in Bombay (now Mumbai). Identity is at the center of Dark Waters with Oberon’s desperate refugee finding safe harbor in the arms of distant relatives living on a Louisiana plantation where nothing and no one are what they seem. Moody and swirling with menace, de Toth’s swampy noir, with a suspenseful script by Marian Cockrell and Joan Harrison, is a deep cut in Oberon’s starry filmography but one that finds her working at the peak of her powers. The Archive is pleased to present Dark Waters with Mayukh Sen, author of the new biography Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star, who will give a brief talk before the film and after, will join film programmer and critic Miriam Bale in conversation.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 90 min.

Part of: The Devil Finds Work: James Baldwin’s Cinema of the Mind Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Live reading of an excerpt from “The Devil Finds Work” by actor Kendale Winbush (UCLA Theater M.F.A. ’21). 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. James Baldwin: From Another Place Turkey, 1973 Shot over three days in May 1970, this short documentary is a luminous portrait directed by Sedat Pakay, Turkish photographer and friend of Baldwin. Intimate and meditative, the film captures Baldwin in rare moments of ease and introspection as he moves through the vibrant, layered cityscape of Istanbul. The film “captures the profound paradox of Baldwin’s transatlantic vantage point,” writes scholar Magdalena Zaborowska, “how he both belongs and remains an outsider.” DCP, b&w, 12 min. Director: Sedat Pakay. With: James Baldwin. James Baldwin: From Another Place (outtakes) Turkey, 2022 Drawn from recently restored outtakes over 50 years after James Baldwin: From Another Place was originally shot in Istanbul, the film reveals fresh dimensions of Baldwin and of Sedat Pakay as a filmmaker. DCP, b&w, 10 min. Director: Sedat Pakay (outtakes edited by Brian Meacham). With: James Baldwin. Restored by the Yale Film Archive. In This Our Life U.S., 1942 ?At the peak of her stardom, Bette Davis played Stanley Timberlake, a destructive sister in a Virginia family — one of several roles showcasing her flair for morally complex women. James Baldwin wrote Davis was “always on the edge of a great understanding,” seen here opposite Ernest Anderson’s dignified performance. Hattie McDaniel lends a quiet, commanding presence at a pivotal moment in her constrained yet trailblazing career. The film stood out for its rare, pointed critique of racial injustice. 16mm, b&w, 97 min. Director: John Huston. Screenwriter: Howard Koch. With: Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Dennis Morgan, Ernest Anderson, Hattie McDaniel. —Public Programmer Beandrea July

Director Julien Duvivier lends cohesion and grace to the star-studded anthology. James Baldwin praised Ginger Rogers’ performance, describing her face as “something to be placed in a dish and eaten with a spoon, possibly a long one.”—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 118 min. Director: Julien Duvivier. Screenwriters: Lamar Trotti, Ben Hecht, Nunnally Johnson. With: Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth, Edward G. Robinson, Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters.

In the latter half of the 1960s, actor, producer and director Jack Webb reanimated his retired alter-ego Sergeant Joe Friday to safeguard a City of Los Angeles facing previously unknown dangers wrought by the rapid social change of the flower child era. Premiering on NBC on January 12, 1967, Webb’s Technicolor revival of Dragnet engaged complex issues far removed from the stock burglaries and fedora-wearing felons of the previous incarnations of his popular radio and black-and-white TV series. The build-up to the Summer of Love found Webb repositioning Sgt. Friday as both a law enforcement officer and amateur sociologist — charged with defending the establishment and decoding the youth movement for culture-shocked squares caught in an ever-expanding generation gap. Viewed today, these simultaneously propagandistic and earnest dramas made by future Television Academy Hall of Fame inductee Jack Webb play as highly entertaining, funhouse-mirror time capsules of Los Angeles in the 1960s. Inspired by actual police files, the fact-laced tales also employ a strong dose of grit in the hardboiled traditions of noir. Join us for a trio of psychedelic freak-out Technicolor Dragnet cases — with surprise, mood-setting, time-and-space-bending musical interludes screened between episodes. —John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley Dragnet 1967: “The Big LSD” U.S., 1/12/1967 Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) are horrified to encounter a psychotic youth (Michael Burns) with a bizarrely painted face. Upon investigation, his alarming behavior is revealed to be caused by LSD, a potent new hallucinogenic drug increasingly popular among the teens that gather on the Sunset Strip. As counterculture youths extol the enlightening benefits of LSD, Friday’s gut-wrenching fears about the drug are illuminated in true noir fashion. DCP, b&w, 25 min. NBC. Mark VII Productions in association with Universal Television. Producer: Jack Webb. Director: Jack Webb. Writer: John Randolph. With: Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Michael Burns. Use of Dragnet 1967 courtesy of NBCUniversal; special thanks to Mark Halperin. Dragnet 1968: “The Big Prophet” U.S., 1/11/1968 Officers Friday (Jack Webb) and Gannon (Harry Morgan) confront Brother William (Liam Sullivan), a self-described guru (seemingly modeled on Timothy Leary) suspected of selling LSD to minors. In a claustrophobic, psychedelic shrine of bead curtains, multi-colored lights and far-out posters, the officers engage the cultish leader in a bitter debate over the virtues and existential perils of mind-altering substances. DCP, b&w, 25 min. NBC. Mark VII Productions in association with Universal Television. Producer: Jack Webb. Director: Jack Webb. Writer: David H. Vowell. With: Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Liam Sullivan.

Dragnet 1968: “The Big High” U.S., 11/2/1967 In the most darkly memorable episode of the entire long-running Dragnet franchise, Officers Friday (Jack Webb) and Gannon (Harry Morgan) investigate a young couple (Brenda Scott, Tim Donnelly) suspected of experimenting with marijuana. Dismissing the officers’ concerns as out of touch, a fateful pot party shatters the couple’s world, shaking seasoned cops Gannon and Friday to their hardened cores. DCP, b&w, 25 min. NBC. Mark VII Productions in association with Universal Television. Producer: Jack Webb. Director: Jack Webb. Writer: David H. Vowell. With: Jack Webb, Brenda Scott, Tim Donnelly.

The Exorcist U.S., 1973 “For I have seen the devil by day and by night, and have seen him in you and in me.” —James Baldwin Baldwin’s critique of The Exorcist provides the inspiration for titling The Devil Finds Work; he argued the film disguises human violence as supernatural evil. A cultural touchstone that broke box office records and sparked controversy, The Exorcist endures not for its demons, but for its visceral performances and psychological intensity, which helped paved the way for considering horror genre filmmaking to be serious art.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 122 min. Director: William Friedkin. Screenwriter: William Peter Blatty. With: Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max von Sydow, Jason Miller.

In the Heat of the Night U.S., 1967 Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture, this racially charged noir stars Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs, a Black detective drawn into a murder investigation in a racially hostile Mississippi town. The film made history with “the slap” — a moment of defiance when Tibbs strikes back at a white plantation owner murder suspect. James Baldwin praised Poitier’s dignity, while critiquing the film’s liberal fantasy of white awakening and redemption.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 110 min. Director: Norman Jewison.
