isn't LACMA the place I read about in the Thom Andersen FC article, where the admin/donors now force them to do staged readings of Reservoir Dogs instead of showing international retros?

it really is a shame that LACMA's film screenings are so lackluster now, the theater itself is terrific

been at this year's orphan film symposium the past few days - some highlights so far:
- crazy german cola ads from the 70s (some of which featured donna summer)- a panel all about motherhood and the family, inc. educational films about lamaze from france and the USSR- evangelical puppet film about the birth of jesus/the end of the world directed by frank tashlin (!!!)- a great short film i'd seen before about a black maid daydreaming about exacting fatal revenge on her pervy white employer, set to nina simone's 'pirate jenny'

christ, cinefamily needs to get someone to write better program copy. "the aching beauty of bela tarr"? "bone-chillingly stark beauty"? barf.
