The UCLA Film & Television Archive celebrates summer with a diverse big screen lineup boasting new international restorations, television and nitrate treasures from the Archive's vaults, and special programs highlighting women in silent film, African American artists Larry Clark and Amiri Baraka, Hollywood maverick Wayne Wang, cinematographer Agnès Godard, Iranian visual artist Shirin Neshat and others. "This season's rich and varied programming — from newly restored films by women across the globe to TV programs produced in response to the 1965 Watts Rebellion — introduces the public to some remarkable stories," said May Hong HaDuong, director of the Archive, a division of UCLA Library. "The Archive continues to lift up voices on the margins with offerings that spotlight a leading member of the L.A. Rebellion film movement, a groundbreaking Asian American director and visionary works from women behind the camera." Screenings are held at the Billy Wilder Theater. All programs are free through June 2023, thanks to a gift from an anonymous donor.
