Easy access to editing tools and distribution platforms now gives more people than ever before the opportunity to respond to the commercial products that shape our cultural dialogues. By plumbing a vast shared vocabulary of image and sound, audiences can express affiliation, criticize, or construct entirely new content using popular media as raw material. Re-edited videos are created and shared online daily by publics that spend increasing amounts of social time in front of networked screens. As the distinction between consumer and participant becomes ever more fluid, re-editing popular media has emerged as a common way of participating in a shared cultural conversation. The exhibition presents a selection of short- form video works that take movies, music videos, television series, and news broadcasts as their source material, focusing on genres and techniques that have emerged online over the past decade and their on- and offline precedents. 4 Image courtesy of the artists IN THE LOBBY JULY 3–NOVEMBER 3, 2013 Organized by Rachael Rakes and Jason Eppink, Associate Curator of Digital Media SINGLE STREAM by Pawel Wojtasik, Toby Lee, and Ernst Karel, explores a zero-sort recycling center in Charlestown, Massachusetts where hundreds of tons of refuse are sorted and processed every day. Blurring the line between observation and abstraction, SINGLE STREAM plunges the viewer into the steady flow of the plant, capturing the complex and fascinating processes devised to treat the enormous amount of waste Americans produce every day. As it moves among criss-crossing conveyor belts, industrial paper shredders, and glass-smashing drums, SINGLE STREAM examines the significant material consequences of our society’s culture of excess. 5 IN THE CHANGING EXHIBITIONS GALLERY PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 stories of craftsmanship in film JULY 11–NOVEMBER 10, 2013 Guest curator: Michael Connor The third and final installation in a series of three exhibitions, PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 stories of craftsmanship in film, uncovers ten powerful stories of obsessive workmanship within filmmaking. It offers a unique opportunity to view rarely seen artifacts from acclaimed films, as well as behind-the-scenes research notes, sketches, and materials used in the development process by some of the world’s best-known filmmakers. Among the craftspeople featured are Johnny Depp, who undertook extensive research to prepare for his role as Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; Theadora Van Runkle, who created detailed illustrations to design the distinctive costumes for Bonnie and Clyde and The Thomas Crown Affair; the legendary editor/sound designer Walter Murch, who revolutionized the use of sound in film in Apocalypse Now; and Jennifer Connelly, who started making her own clothes in preparation for her part as the aspiring fashion designer Marion in Requiem for a Dream. The exhibition also looks at the work of director Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon); costume designers Eiko Ishioka (Bram Stoker’s Dracula) and Julie Weiss (Frida, Twelve Monkeys); cinematographer Sławomir Idziak (Three Colors: Blue); production designer Jeannine Oppewall (Catch Me If You Can), and director Spike Jonze / screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich).

The grandeur of the American dream and the harsh realities faced in the effort to attain it; the terror and promise of the open landscape of the American West; the teeming diversity of urban life; the never-ending tension between ambition and greed; the battle between idealism and compromise—all of these themes and more are on view in the epic films in this distinctly American edition of See It Big, which includes some of the greatest movies ever made. The Right Stuff 7 Citizen Kane The Grapes of Wrath (Twentieth Century Fox) Imitation of Life SATURDAY, JULY 13, 2:00 P.M. Dir. Douglas Sirk. 1959, 125 mins. 35mm. With Lana Turner, John Gavin, Susan Kohner, Juanita Moore. This is the most thematically ambitious and powerful movie from Douglas Sirk, crafter of impeccable Hollywood weepies that contained searing social commentary. On the surface, Imitation of Life seems to be a sudser about the romantic and professional travails of a struggling actress. But as her woes are paralleled with the heartbreaking story of her black maid’s struggles with an ashamed daughter, it is revealed as a stealth portrait of racism in America. Do the Right Thing The Grapes of Wrath SUNDAY, JULY 7, 2:00 P.M. Dir. John Ford. 1940, 129 mins. 35mm. With Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, John Carradine. In the heart of the Great Depression, Tom Joad (a finely weathered Henry Fonda) and his family are pushed off their Oklahoma homestead and forced to head down Highway 66 toward California, in search of something, anything better. In the hands of John Ford and ace cinematographer Gregg Toland (Citizen Kane), this Oscar-winning adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic became an unforgettable, mythopoetic elegy for the promise of America. El Norte SUNDAY, JULY 7, 5:00 P.M. Do the Right Thing Citizen Kane Sunrise Greed SATURDAY, JULY 13, 4:45 P.M. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 7:00 P.M. SATURDAY, JULY 6, 2:00 P.M. With live music by Dir.

In the thesis, I explore the health belief systems of pasajeros, examining the syncretic space of the Temple in which Western and Eastern, New Age, biomedical, and shamanic discourses meet and intertwine to create novel sets of health beliefs, practices, and perceptions of the Self.

    TAIWAN BIENNIAL FILM FESTIVAL 2019 FILM INFORMATION/TIMELINE October 18, 2019 7:30 pm – Opening Film HEAVY CRAVING Billy Wilder Theater In a special celebration, UCLA Film & Television Archive and Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles are excited to accompany the North American premiere of the film with a guest appearance by the film’s acclaimed Director/Screenwriter Hsieh Pei-ju, who will participate in a post-screening Q&A. HEAVY CRAVING (2019) Synopsis: a talented chef for a preschool run by her demanding mother, Ying-juan earns praise for her culinary creations but scorn for her weight. Even the children she feeds have dubbed her “Ms. Dinosaur” for her size. Joining a popular weight loss program seems like an answer but it’s the unlikely allies she finds outside the program—and the obstacles she faces in it—that help her find a truer path to happiness. Writer-director Hsieh Pei-ju doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of self-discovery in what ultimately proves a rousing feature debut, winner of the Audience’s Choice award at this year’s Taipei Film Festival. Director/Screenwriter: Hsieh Pei-ju. Cast: Tsai Jia-yin, Yao Chang, Samantha Ko. October 19, 2019 3:00 pm – “Focus on Taiwan” Panel Billy Wilder Theater Admission: Free With the ‘Focus on Taiwan’ panel UCLA Film & Television Archive and Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles are thrilled to present a curated afternoon of timely conversations about issues facing the Taiwan film industry at home and abroad, including gender equality and inclusion of women and the LGBTQ community on screen and behind the camera, the challenges of marketing Taiwanese productions internationally and more.
