  • On Screen/in Person: Hilleman – A Perilous Quest to Save the World’s Children

    The Twentieth-Century was a dangerous time to be young. Before vaccines, there were a multitude of diseases that too often kept children from reaching even their teenage years.  From the throws of that environment, Dr. Maurice Hilleman would emerge to lead a revolution in vaccine innovation and save many millions of young lives each year. But after being forced to retire at the height of his productivity in 1985, Hilleman watched as one company after another began to abandon vaccine research.  When parents began choosing not to vaccinate their children in the 1990s the cruel irony became clear; Hilleman’s unprecedented successes had allowed us to forget just how devastating childhood diseases could be.

    There will be a post screening Q&A with the director Donald Rayne Mitchell.

  • On Screen/in Person: Real Boy

    Director Shaleece Haas
    Film Trailer: https://vimeo.com/134142788

    REAL BOY is the coming-of-age story of Bennett
    Wallace, a transgender teenager on a journey to find his voice as a musician, a
    friend, a son, and a man. Navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood, he
    works to gain the support of his mother, who has deep misgivings about her
    child’s transition. As tension mounts at home, Bennett is taken in by his idol,
    Joe Stevens, the lead singer of the alt-Americana band, Coyote Grace. Exploring
    how our search for personal identity also involves those closest to us, REAL BOY is a nuanced look at the new
    American family and the people we turn to when our given families are
    unavailable.

    devotion, trust, and resilience.

  • Bob Dylan: Photographs by Daniel Kramer Curated by the GRAMMY Museum ® at LA LIVE

    Curated by the GRAMMY Museum ® at LA LIVE

    Curated by the GRAMMY Museum, in cooperation with Daniel Kramer, Daniel Kramer: Photographs of Bob Dylan features more than 40 of Kramer’s photographs from his time on tour with Dylan in 1964 and 1965. Kramer’s photographs are a striking, intimate account of the folk singer’s metamorphosis into a rock star. This photographic “backstage view” of the singer/songwriter showcases key moments in Dylan’s musical career during one of the most dynamic periods in American history. These seminal pictures of Dylan not only revealed the rising young star to international audiences, but set a standard by which all other rock portraits would be judged.

    Daniel Kramer and Bob Santelli from the GRAMMY Museum will give a talk during the opening reception.

  • Drones by Karina Aguilera Skvirsky

    Lecture: Feb. 2, from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. in  Wilson Hall Auditorium

    Opening reception: Friday, Feb. 2, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

    Drones are in the news. They carry out targeted killings; they are manned with cameras to record movements on the ground; hobbyists fly them in public spaces; Amazon wants to use them to deliver their products. Appropriating visual juxtapositions from the surrealists and kitsch sic-fi invasion films, Drones is a series of photo-collages that put flying objects into our aerial landscapes.

    This series includes landscapes from US, Ecuador and other unidentifiable locations. “The Drones” function like a photographic bricolage of buildings. The cut of a scissors and Photoshop suggest something crucial about Drones: their immediate extraterrestrial appearance places them in a space between reality and fiction mirroring our own abstract experience (via the Internet).
