We are truly honored to host some favorite films of one of the world’s most important directors and preeminent cinephiles. Featuring, among others, two films each by Michelangelo Antonioni, Akira Kurosawa, and Yasujirô Ozu, “Alexander Payne Presents” will be a movie-lover’s feast. To call Payne a friend of Film Streams would be an understatement. A found- ing board member and ardent supporter, it’s safe to say he’s a huge reason we’re here. His first repertory series at the Ruth Sokolof Theater – which was Le rayon vert 1986 Dersu Uzala 1975 the very first classic film program at the Theater – included works like SEVEN Walkabout 1971 Le amiche 1955 SAMURAI, 8 ½, THE LAST DETAIL, THE WILD BUNCH, and LA NOTTE.

Onibaba 1964 Afternoon 1962 Come and See 1985 Payne himself has said that one of the reasons he is able to create such moving Tokyo Story 1953 and artistically interesting films is because of his obsessive study of movies. Summertime 1955 Payne’s credentials as a connoisseur of world cinema are many. Not only has he served as a juror at the Cannes Film Festival, he was also curated films as a special guest at the Telluride Film Festival and taught film appreciation as a visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
