Los Angeles Filmforum presents Yoko Ono’s film *“RAPE”* with a talk by Jennifer Doyle.

In conjunction with The Broad’s exhibition *Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind*, Filmforum presents her rarely screened film “RAPE” followed by a talk on the film by writer and educator Jennifer Doyle. The film is not included in the exhibition, so this is your only chance to see it currently.

*Note that there is no sex or nudity or conventional physical violence in the film.*

∆

Yoko Ono’s score for *Film No. 5 RAPE (or CHASE) (1968)* begins with the instruction: “A cameraman will chase a girl on a street with a camera persistently until he corners her in an alley, and, if possible, until she is in a falling position.’

“In one sense, Rape is a particularly brutal dramatization of the Warholian discovery that the camera‘s implacable stare disrupts ‘ordinary’ behavior to enforce its own regime. In another, the film is a graphic metaphor for the ruthless surveillance that can theoretically attach itself to any citizen of the modern world.” – J. Hoberman, “John Lennon/Yoko Ono. *Film No 5. RAPE (or CHASE) (Clip)*”, in *Rhetoric of Surveillance from Bentham to Big Brother*, Thomas Y. Levin, Ursula Frohne, Peter Weibel (eds), ZKM, Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, 2002, p. 406f.

Jennifer Doyle is a writer, curator, and scholar. She has published books about harassment dynamics (*Shadow of My Shadow*, 2024) and difficulty in contemporary art (*Hold It Against Me*, 2013). She lives in Los Angeles and teaches at UC Riverside.

The scintillating feature debut of Mary Harron (*American Psycho*) and one of the most controversial independent films of the 1990s, *I Shot Andy Warhol* stars an electric Lili Taylor as Valerie Solanas, a militant feminist whose attempted murder of Andy Warhol brought instant fame to her radically anti-male *SCUM Manifesto.* 

Dropping out of grad school in the midsixties, the brilliant yet volatile Solanas survived in New York City as a destitute artist, sex worker, and panhandler, soon striking up a friendship with Warhol superstar Candy Darling that brought her briefly into the orbit of the world’s premier pop artist. With vivid, hallucinatory attention to historical detail, Harron captures the explosive cross-pollination of New York’s political and artistic countercultures as well as the creativity, snobbery, and decadence at the heart of the legendary Factory. 

Anchored by pitch-perfect performances—and featuring a blistering score by John Cale as well as covers of sixties hits by some of the nineties’ most iconic bands (R.E.M., Wilco)—*I Shot Andy Warhol* is an incisive portrait of a rebel without an outlet and the soon-to-be-lost generation she came to define.

I Shot Andy Warhol

He’s the messiah that will save the whole galaxy… and his name is Paul. Kyle MacLachlan stars as the intergalactic warrior en route to power in a battle of intergalactic stakes. Long-awaited, then panned, the film is an astounding assemblage of ideas resting on the shoulders of David Lynch’s imagination and ambitions. An explosively operatic space saga, filled to the brim with high camp, sci-fi drama, and Sting in a cod-piece. Spice is life, baby.

Family Flicks: The Secret World of Arrietty

An afternoon of film, play, and connection centered around the enduring, ever-evolving game of mahjong, a tile-based game involving skill, strategy, and luck. 

Known for their sold-out, high-energy gatherings, **Mahjong Mistress** bring their signature blend of play, community, and cultural perspective to the Hammer. Whether you’ve never touched a tile or have been playing for years, this is a chance to learn, play, and meet new people.

The program begins with a screening of Edward Yang’s *Mahjong *(1996), a fast-moving portrait of Taipei in the ’90s where every interaction feels like a high-stakes game.

After the film, the action shifts from screen to table with an open mahjong session in the Hammer's courtyard for all experience levels. Mahjong Mistress instructors will be on hand to teach beginners, while experienced players can jump right into the mix. Expect a lively, social atmosphere with shared tables, new connections, and a little friendly competition.

Mahjong Mistress will also debut a selection of limited-edition merchandise, extending their visual language beyond the table.

**Mahjong Mistress** is composed of four “Mistresses”—**Susan Kounlavongsa**, **Angie Lin**, **Zoé Blue M**, and **Abby Yingtong Wu**. These four friends, each from different cultural and creative backgrounds, were brought together by their shared love of Chinese mahjong. What began as a way to share the game with friends has evolved into a collective dedicated to fostering cultural connection and conversation through mahjong. Through events and collaborations with AAPI creatives and cultural institutions, they aim to cultivate a new generation of mahjong players. Through the Hammer’s Artist Residency program, Mahjong Mistress will have the space and time to engage in research, engage with the UCLA community, and gain access to a range of archives and other resources around Southern California.

**DEKALOG, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Janus Films, Poland**

This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, DEKALOG focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, DEKALOG arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives.

One of the first American movies to directly depict the chaos and violence of the Vietnam War, *The Deer Hunter* is a triumph of visionary New Hollywood filmmaking from director Michael Cimino. Mike (Robert De Niro), Steven (John Savage), and Nick (Christopher Walken) are three small-town steelworkers whose idyllic view of life — symbolized by the almost hourlong wedding sequence that opens the movie — is shattered forever when the three are shipped off to fight in Vietnam. The trio endure unimaginable horrors in a Vietnamese POW camp, but even their escape is just the beginning of a long odyssey that concludes with Mike searching for a lost friend during the fall of Saigon. Winner of five Oscars including Best Picture, the movie is also notable for featuring John Cazale’s final performance before his death, and for earning Meryl Streep her first Academy Award nomination.

Rotations presents *Aloïse* (1975) by Liliane de Kermadec (115m, French with English ST), starring Isabelle Huppert + Delphine Seyrig. Preceded by *Colors Folly* (1986), by Abraham Ségal (12m, in English).

∆

One of a handful of female outsider artists to earn praise from the early exponents of art brut, Aloïse Corbaz—born in modest circumstances in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1886; institutionalized as a schizophrenic in 1918; and kept under psychiatric observation until her death in 1964—is portrayed here by two of the premiere European actresses of their respective generations: Isabelle Huppert, who plays Corbaz as a ruminative, searching young woman, and Delphine Seyrig, astonishingly committed as the elder artist.

Newly restored by Cinémathèque Française and produced by Paul Vecchiali, de Kermadec’s sophomore feature is an ideal introduction to an unjustly forgotten giant of post–New Wave French cinema. In the same year of the release of *Aloïse*, de Kermadec would serve as one of the producers on Seyrig and Chantal Akerman’s *Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles*.

*Paul Thomas Anderson, USA, 2014, 35mm, 148 min.*

It starts as it always does: a woman. When Doc Sportello’s former old lady (Katherine Waterson) shows up with a loony story — a billionaire boyfriend, his ex-wife, and the plot to kidnap and banish said billionaire to an asylum — the private dick can’t say no. Now, it may be trouble or the thick layer of weed surrounding Paul Thomas Anderson’s perpetually stoned P.I. (Joaquin Phoenix), but something is certainly amiss in la-la land and soon Doc is stumbling through a parade of freaks and squares (but mostly freaks). Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation defies all neat explanations, instead choosing to fully submit to the heady buzz of Thomas Pynchon’s pot-fueled paranoia. From a cop-cum-chocolate banana fetishist (Josh Brolin) to Owen Wilson’s surf-jazz saxophonist, the film is one wild, wild trek through a cast of characters as majestic as the hills. Submit to its freakbeat. **Screening in 35mm! **

**Los Angeles premiere with Blair Barnes in person!**

We are excited to have filmmaker Andrew Bujalski and L.A.-based artist Blair Barnes in conversation following a short-and-feature pairing of *SITREP* and *COMPUTER CHESS*, the latter screening from a 35mm archival print. Both films were shot on the Sony AVC 3260, an analog tube video camera developed in the early 1970s which has a strangely beautiful black-and-white aesthetic, its shallow focus occasionally disrupted by blooms and smears of errant light. The filmmakers will discuss their distinctive approaches and inspirations behind using this idiosyncratic camera following the screening.

**Special thanks to Malkah Manuel (Lunette Films) and Julian Antos (Chicago Film Society).**

#### From Blair Barnes

“COMPUTER CHESS was released in 2013, after being filmed entirely on three Sony AVC 3260’s which were custom-fitted with an extra BNC outlet to make a stable, recorded image possible. Ultimately, one of the 3260’s was the main workhorse, as the 2:1 signal in the other two were less reliable. [DoP] Matthias Grunsky would describe the camera as having a “…transcendental character,” which endures as a representation of the Sony AVC 3250. SITREP, which will be making its debut in 2026, uses the 3250 as its foremost camera, with the Sony FX6 as the digital intermediary. Filmed almost entirely inside of an abandoned dialysis center, the project makes work of worldbuilding through encompassing tape loops and mismatches in frequency and frame rate to produce varied flicker lines, whereas COMPUTER CHESS transforms a murky hotel into uncanny chess tournament sprawl. Beyond Bujalski’s precision in nailing the period, the 3260 itself is an apt co-conspirator in slipping the piece into an idiosyncratic otherworld.

“The common denominator is the ⅔ inch tube. The evident draw is in the utility of the tube camera, and it is also in how these projects use inverse methods to speak to time, whether as a phonetic marker in *sitrep*, or an approximation of period in *COMPUTER CHESS*. There is also chronological resonance with the 1969 AVC 3260 being used in 2013, and its successor, the 1974 AVC 3250 being used in 2025.” – Blair Barnes

Join us for the 30th Anniversary of this addictive cult classic, newly restored in 4K! Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero for our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, *Trainspotting* is the story of Mark and his so-called friends &#8211; a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate &#8211; but then again, does he really want to &#8216;choose life&#8217;?

Trainspotting

**Screenwriter**: Adrian Chiarella

**Producers**: Samantha Jennings,  Kristina Ceyton,  Hannah Ngo

Young love can be a monster in this sizzling queer Australian slow-burn horror. Two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other. A mesmerizing and unnerving supernatural interpretation of conversion therapy, this is not only one of the best horror films of the year, it&#8217;s also one of the best love stories. Unique and disquieting with atmospheric dread in surround, don&#8217;t miss this summer scorcher in our microcinema.

Leviticus

**Screenwriters**: Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks

**Producer**: Michael Gruskoff

We&#8217;re electrifying the ab(by)- normal and *Putting on the Ritz* with this unbelievably hilarious spoof on the classic tale of reanimation and misunderstanding. Gene Wilder plays the neurosurgeon descendent of the mythical Dr. Frankenstein. After stumbling on his original plans, the young Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced fronkenshteen) attempts to play God once again and bring a corpse back from the dead. With some of the funniest lines in cinema history and brilliant performances from Wilder, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman and Teri Garr, *Young Frankenstein* remains one of Mel Brooks&#8217; greatest triumphs.

Young Frankenstein

**Screenwriter:** Mark Protosevich

**Producer: **Julio Caro, Eric McLeod

This is her&#8230;inside the mind of a serial killer.  As icon Jennifer Lopez embarks on her newest tour after the release of her new film &#8211; Vidiots goes back a few years to highlight one of her most enjoyable roles. Jenny from the Block plays a psychotherapist who uses a new experimental technique to journey inside a comatose serial killer with the hopes of saving his latest victim. A knock-out thriller with mind-bending visuals, you&#8217;ll sink into the surreality of Tarsem Singh&#8217;s disturbingly visionary work.

The Cell

**Producers**: David Alvarado, Lauren DeFilippo, Everett Katigbak, Amanda Pollak

Against political resistance and industry skepticism, Luis Valdez pushes Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with *Zoot Suit *and* La Bamba*, crafting iconic works that challenge, celebrate, and expand America’s story.

An auteur emerges from America’s underclass: from migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his *El Teatro Campesino* performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His *Zoot Suit *was the first Chicano play on Broadway. Despite critical rejection that killed the show, he persevered, creating *La Bamba*—a breakout blockbuster that authentically depicted Mexican-American life to the world. Now in its 60th year, *El Teatro* continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations.

And **Luis Valdez** himself will be in the Eagle theatre on July 23rd for a special screening of [***Zoot Suit!***](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/zoot-suit/)

Fight Without Jingi

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

In this chilling and groundbreaking documentary, former Indonesian death squad leaders reenact their real-life mass killings in the style of various film genres. As they recreate their past atrocities, the line between reality and performance blurs, exposing the lingering impact of Indonesia&#8217;s 1965-66 anti-communist purge and the unsettling psychology of its perpetrators.

The Act of Killing

A naïve young tax collector for the imperial government winds up spending the night in a haunted temple. There he falls in love with a beautiful woman who, unfortunately, is dead. With the aid of a powerful Daoist Swordsman, he must defeat undead hordes, overcome a sinister Tree Demoness, and descend to the pits of hell, to fight for the spirit he loves.

A Chinese Ghost Story

Hard Boiled

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Japanese with English subtitles. *

Naruse harbored a special affection for this rural farce starring the great comic actor Kamatari Fujiwara, familiar to American audiences as the cravenly cynical peasant Manzo in Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI. As written by Naruse himself, Hyoroku (Fujiwara), a lowly member of a backwoods kabuki troupe, brings buffoonish pomposity to his role as the front legs of the act’s puppet horse. When a drunken patron falls on the horse’s head, the company replaces it with the real McCoy, unceremoniously demoting Hyoroku and his sidekick Senpei to stable boys. Tinged with nostalgia for a pre-modern popular art and vanishing provincial folkways, Naruse’s film conjures a timeless aura as if to ward off the distant reality of war.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Arabic with English subtitles.*

A hard-hitting commentary on class struggle and machismo set amid the dockyards of Alexandria in the immediate aftermath of Egypt’s 1952 revolution, this feverish social-realist melodrama stars the great Omar Sharif in one of his earliest film roles. He delivers an intense performance as Ragab, a sailor who must leave behind his beloved Hamidah (Faten Hamama, at the time Sharif’s real-life wife) for a long voyage at sea. When he returns after three years and discovers that she has taken up with the wealthy Mamdouh (the heartthrob Ahmed Ramzy), the volatile Ragab fights to win her back.

Vintage Los Angeles' Alison Martino presents the legendarily long-lost, now restored Italian arthouse portrait of mid-century LA!

Franco Rossi's SMOG (1962) — hosted by Alison Martino

Philosophical Research Society

For the FIRST time since the famed Bolshoi Theatre Violin Ensemble toured America in the 1960s, the art of 14 violin virtuosi sounding as ONE will be heard live again. In a classical-romantic-pop program “Canzoni d'amore e di vita” (“Songs of Love & Life”), _iPalpiti_’s virtuoso violinists will play beloved vignettes by great composers, _showcasing unison and virtuosity_ – qualities for which _iPalpiti_, under Schmieder’s direction, has long been praised.

Concert will conclude with a Salute to America’s 250th!  

29th season of “world-class” iPalpiti Festival of International Laureates brings another great week in summer classical cultural life of Los Angeles!

Prize-winning laureates from 18 Countries – illustrious alumni and new discoveries – arrive for a week’s residence in Beverly Hills, July 20 – 26, from Belarus, Ireland, Lithuania, China, Korea, Japan, Ecuador, Norway, Switzerland, Uzbekistan, Spain, Venezuela, Japan, Poland, Russia, Azerbaijan, Estonia and the USA.

The iPalpiti Festival “has become one of the highlights – in some years, the highlight – of the summer here.” —R. Ginell, American Record Guide

The Wallis

**Screenwriter**: Elaine May

**Producers**: Howard Koch, Joseph Manduke, Hillard Elkins

The legendary Elaine May pulls triple duty as writer, director, and star of this wonderfully wry dark comedy of greed, love, plants, and plotting murder. Walter Matthau stars as Henry Graham, a trust fund baby who&#8217;s overspent his fortune into non-existence. Rather than work for a living, he decides to find a suggestible heiress to marry and murder. Awkward horticulturalist Henrietta Lowell (played by May herself) seems like the perfect mark, but maybe she&#8217;s more endearing with her penchant for cheap wine and generosity than he planned for.

A New Leaf

**Screenwriters**: David O. Russell, John Ridley

**Producers**: Charles Roven,  Edward L. McDonnell,  Paul Junger Witt

George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube star in David O. Russell&#8217;s biting satire on American foreign policy that remains even more relevant today! At the tail end of the Gulf War, a small band of American soldiers in Iraq seek adventure and fortune in attempting to steal a huge cache of gold hidden somewhere in the desert. Along the way, they are confronted by heroic challenges and newfound discoveries that take them to places they could never have imagined. If you like your action laced with international heists, incendiary humor, and a killer cast, don&#8217;t miss this banger on our big screen!

Christmas in July

Los Angeles Filmforum presents films by Yoko Ono.

In conjunction with The Broad’s exhibition *Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind*, Filmforum presents some films of hers not included in the exhibition, along with a few others that are.

Full info: www.lafilmforum.org

∆

The films of Yoko Ono demand that one slows down to view them. They might be humorous or rarified, reserved or unruly, precise or uncontrolled. Plot is not important; the idea behind them is, and calls for absorption in the space and time to look closer, perhaps to meditate or to dream. While a few of these are installed in the exhibition at The Broad and others are not, the opportunity to sit with them in full in a darkened room allows the possibility of a full appreciation.

“All Ono’s films are fundamentally conceptual, and are characterized by the same concerns that underpin her work in other media: the body, duration, ephemerality, seriality, measurement, language, an active engagement of the viewer as participant, a performative structure, attention to the properties of the material, and a break with the autonomous work of art. Many of these tenets later characterized both Conceptual Art and structural film for which Fluxus film is now acknowledged as an important precursor. In 1961, the Fluxus artist Henry Flynt wrote a definitive essay, “Concept Art,” in which he gave the first definition of Conceptual Art; terming it ‘concept art’ and ‘structure art,’ he linked it to the principles of experimental music being established by composers uch as La Monte Young, with whom Ono was presenting concerts in her Chambers Street loft the year Flynt’s text was written” – Chrissie Iles, “Erotic Conceptualism: The Films of Yoko Ono,” in Yes Yoko Ono (Japan Society & Harry N. Abrams, 2000), p. 202.

Murder on the Orient Express

Blackmail

Cutter's Way

Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—each one begging him to get on with the show. In retreat from their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.

Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife&#8217;s killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he&#8217;s going, or why.

Memento

Revisiting the groundbreaking feminist performance art movement in 1970s–1980s Los Angeles, one artist spotlights the inspirational, transformational, radical community exploding the narrative and status quo. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal reflections, feminist artist Cheri Gaulke revisits a foundational Los Angeles art space, the Woman’s Building (1973–1991), laying bare how a collective of artists transformed their bodies and voices through performance art into a powerful tool for activism, reshaping the cultural landscape for generations of women.
 
Join us in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium lobby from 1–3pm before the screening for a special viewing of archival objects from the Woman’s Building, accompanied by a conversation between Cheri Gaulke and Getty Research Institute chief curator Glenn Phillips starting at 3pm. 

Following the screening, a reception will be held on the terrace.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Robert Goodwin wrote, produced and directed this lost gem of American independent cinema. Opening during a tense meeting between members of an underground Black Power group that leads to a stunning foot chase, Goodwin’s film weaves past and present to tell the story of the social awakening of a character only referred to as “the drifter” (screen legend Bernie Casey in his first starring role!). Shot on both 35mm and video and boasting a fierce, early performance from L.A. Rebellion icon Barbara O. Jones, BLACK CHARIOT is a fascinatingly iconoclastic revelation. Though world-premiered at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1971, BLACK CHARIOT has remained under-screened for decades — until now.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Though happily married to his adoring wife Hélène, with whom he is expecting a second child, the thoroughly bourgeois business executive Frédéric cannot banish from his mind the multitude of attractive Parisian women who pass him by every day. His flirtations and fantasies remain harmless until Chloé (played by the mesmerizing Zouzou), an audacious, unencumbered old flame, shows up at his office, embodying the first genuine threat to Frédéric’s marriage. The luminous final chapter to Rohmer’s “Moral Tales” is a tender, sobering, and wholly adult affair that leads to perhaps the most overwhelmingly emotional moment in the entire series.

**Screenwriter**: Kôbô Abe

**Producer**: Hiroshi Teshigahara

A staggering work of existential science fiction, Hiroshi Teshigahara&#8217;s *The Face of Another* dissects identity with the sure hand of a surgeon. Okuyama (*Yojimbo*&#8216;s Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist&#8217;s radical experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger. As Okuyama is thus further alienated from the world around him, he finds himself giving in to his darker temptations. With unforgettable imagery, Teshigahara&#8217;s film explores both the limits and freedom in acquiring a new persona, and questions the notion of individuality itself.
