THE DREAM & THE LIE U.S., 2024 For over four decades, from 1944–1991, Albania was ruled by one of the most repressive dictatorships anywhere in the world. For most of that time, the Marxist-Leninist regime was led by Enver Hoxha, who ruthlessly suppressed any opposition and kept his fearful population isolated from the outside world. Throughout that period, Albanians could see images of themselves and their country only as represented in the fiction features and documentaries produced by the state-run New Albania Kinostudio. In 1993, two years after the end of the regime, Albanian American visual artist and photographer Elena Dorfman began regularly visiting her mother’s home country and in 2018 she was granted unprecedented access to the collection of the Albanian National Film Archive. The result of her archival research, Dorfman’s experimental feature documentary, THE DREAM & THE LIE brings scenes from the archive’s film holdings together in a widescreen triptych image that can feel both epic and intimate in scale all at once. A captivating exploration of how movies were used by the regime to construct a powerful national mythology that penetrated deep into daily life, THE DREAM & THE LIE is also a visually arresting example of how artists can creatively and productively engage with archival material. The UCLA Film & Television Archive is pleased to host Elena Dorfman at the Billy Wilder Theater for a screening of THE DREAM & THE LIE followed by an in person conversation with the Archive’s 2025 Artist-in-Residence Ariel West about the film and relationship between the artist and the archive. DCP, color and b&w, 70 min. Director: Elena Dorfman. Programmed and note written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm. Part of: THE DREAM & THE LIE

2025 NCBA Swing Into Spring Showcase - Henderson

One of the deadliest wildfires ever recorded took place on July 23, 2018 just 30 km from the historical center of Athens in Greece. Artist Katerina Angelopoulou survived the fire and her book, "The Fumes of Mars," combines her photographs with personal testimonies from other survivors, timelines, maps, and reports. With these materials Angelopoulou attempts to weave together a collective narrative of the events to better understand the violent disconnect between her own experience and the “official” account of the disaster in which facts were concealed and victims held culpable The book opens with black and white photographs showing the aftermath of the fire alongside with testimonies of the survivors. These are followed by Angelopoulou’s photographs taken as the disaster unfolded overlayed with her timeline of events. Collected evidence on the events follow, including aerial maps, topographical information, lists of the victims with location and cause of death, weather and aircraft reports, CCTV and news coverage images, information from the State Investigator report and information on the ongoing trial. The final images of the book are of Angelopoulou’s personal artifacts after the fire, such as remnants of jewelry, books and glasses. This assembled evidence is embedded with importance because after the fire, the truth of the victims and their families was questioned multiple times—in the public narrative, facts were concealed and re-produced with false arguments blaming residents and victims. Katerina Angelopoulou is an artist based in Athens. The Fumes of Athens won the Format Festival’s Reviewers Choice Award 2022, was selected for and featured in the COCA Project 2021, shortlisted for the Belfast Dummy Award and Photo Festival in 2022, and exhibited at LCC in London as part of the Common Ground Exhibition. Angelopoulou holds a BSc in Mathematics & Theoretical Physics from Imperial College London, a BA in Design for Performance from Central Saint Martin’s, and an MA with Distinction in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from LCC. This program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. For more details, please visit: https://hellenic.ucla.edu/event/the-fumes-of-mars/
