### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek play young lovers on a shooting spree across 1950s South Dakota in Terrence Malick’s turbulent, gut-grabbing masterwork, BADLANDS. Kit Carruthers, a young garbage collector and his girlfriend Holly Sargis from Fort Dupree, South Dakota, are on the run after killing Holly’s father who disagrees with their relationship. On their way towards the Badlands of Montana they leave a trail of dispassionate and seemingly random murders. An intriguing narrative without judgements, and lacking the usual sensational approach of the genre. The script was based upon the true story of the Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders of 1958.

Located on the Pacific Rim, LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection of more than 150,000 objects that illuminate 6,000 years of artistic expression across the globe. Committed to showcasing a multitude of art histories, LACMA exhibits and interprets works of art from new and unexpected points of view that are informed by the region’s rich cultural heritage and diverse population. LACMA’s spirit of experimentation is reflected in its work with artists, technologists, and thought leaders as well as in its regional, national, and global partnerships to share collections and programs, create pioneering initiatives, and engage new audiences.

Dive into a powerful educational series bridging generations through film, dialogue, and critical media literacy. Curated and facilitated by legendary KAOS Network founder Ben Caldwell, L.A. Rebellion filmmaker Alile Sharon Larkin, and LACMA assistant curator of film Matazi Weathers, this series spotlights bold works by local filmmakers, surprise guest appearances, and unfiltered conversations on the role of storytelling in shaping cultural consciousness, both locally and globally.

Our January session will focus on honoring the life and work of Nigerian L.A. Rebellion filmmaker, painter, and author Ijeoma IIoputaife (1951–2025), also known as Omah Diegu, along with conversations and new work from Nigerian-British artist and director Jenn Nkiru.

**Ijeoma IIoputaife** (1951-2025), also known as Omah Diegu and ‘oma ‘taife, was a Ghana-born Nigerian filmmaker, painter and author. The first African woman to study film at UCLA, she was part of the second generation of the Los Angeles School of Black Filmmakers, also called L.A. Rebellion. Today, her short film *African Women, U.S.A *(1980) is one of the standard works of feminist African-American cinema. After returning to Nigeria, she lived in Germany for a while which led to the autobiographical documentary *The Snake in my Bed* (1995) made in collaboration with Das kleine Fernsehspiel.

**Jenn Nkiru** is a Nigerian-British Grammy Award–winning artist and director from London. Her works have been screened internationally at venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Modern, the ICA, London, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane.

*Wind Journal* (2025) is LA-based artist Neil ‘cloaca’ Young’s newest near-feature length film since co-directing the critically acclaimed film *Milford Graves Full Mantis* (2018).

“A diary of one breather’s untrained brass and woodwind explorations on different coasts of the (mostly) same continent. Sometimes alone, sometimes with others. Usually for ritual, occasionally for demonstration - as in a recital or a recording session. The practice is play and the play is practice in the pursuit of an ecstatic countervirtuosity. The environment, human and nonhuman bodies and camera all participate as audience and performer.”

Significant passages of the piece feature the official and unofficial antics of the wind collective LAWWSS (Los Angeles Wood Wind Skill Share) who are celebrating the release of their first full-length LP on *Radical Documents*.

This matinee preview screening is being held in conjunction with a special LAWWSS record release concert at Human Resources later that evening.

Over the last half-century, the *Millennium Film Journal* has charted seismic transformations in the way we create and look at moving pictures—from 16mm celluloid to magnetic videotape to digital “content creation,” and now the strange new world of AI-generated deepfakes and simulations. All along, we’ve kept an eye on the Hollywood Dream Factory, which has often thrived in the chaos of technological change—though of late its fortunes are fading, with studio workers and artisans suffering most.

It is a curious impasse. Compared with the narcotics of Netflix “autoplay” or the debut of virtual actors, like the imaginary Tilly Norwood, the fantasies of the industry’s erstwhile Golden Ages seem vivid, achingly human, recalcitrantly real. As we drift into a surreal future, we want to glance backward, or at least collect the traces of our cinematic pasts. *Real Life*—the latest edition of MFJ—is a study of this diachronic gray zone, and the Journal joins with Los Angeles Filmforum in showcasing a handful of works discussed in its pages, along with others we admire.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

John Cassavetes’ love letter to the art of theater, inside a neo-noir take on the sleazy ‘70s Southland!

In what other film would a waitress from famed post-hippie L.A. restaurant The Source take her morning break next door to audition for Ben Gazzara’s bizarro performance-art strip club? When his high-flying lifestyle owes debts to a sinister syndicate (led by Seymour Cassel and a wonderfully mushy Timothy Carey), he’s given a tough choice: knocking off a Chinese “bookie” or losing his beloved theatre.

Cassavetes renders all of this with a hallucinatory eye, subverting genre conventions with his unsettled rhythms and a sweetly absurdist tone. Likewise, Gazzara perfectly embodies the fractured, contradictory persona of a character as much filled with frailty and vice as he is with ambition and integrity.

### **ABOUT THE EVENT:**

Masaki Kobayashi’s mammoth humanist drama is one of the most staggering achievements of Japanese cinema. Filmed and released in three parts, the nine-and-a-half-hour THE HUMAN CONDITION (NINGEN NO JOKEN), adapted from Junpei Gomikawa’s six-volume novel, tells of the journey of the well-intentioned yet naive Kaji (handsome Japanese superstar Tatsuya Nakadai) from labor camp supervisor to Imperial Army soldier to Soviet POW. Constantly trying to rise above a corrupt system, Kaji time and again finds his morals an impediment rather than an advantage. A raw indictment of its nation’s wartime mentality as well as a personal existential tragedy, Kobayashi’s riveting, gorgeously filmed epic is novelistic cinema at its best.

As they begin to fall for one another, Alicia is pulled into a pit of intrigue and uranium as she must seduce a Nazi hiding out in Brazil. With a dream cast and Hitchcock at the height of his artistry, this chilling love story still sizzles.

His impact over nearly 70 years, on so many, from those of us who first met him through the comfort and familiarity of our TV sets, to those who’ve grown up under the magical and inspiring influence of his film work, to those of us that have benefited from his tireless activism, makes him feel like a member of the family. Thank you for everything you gave us. Thank you for the stories you told, that have helped make us who we are and will undoubtedly continue to shape new generations.

### **ABOUT THE EPISODE:**

**Episode 3, “Zen, Or The Skill To Catch A Killer,” Dir. David Lynch, 47 Mins**

Ben Horne’s brother, Jerry, arrives in Twin Peaks; together they travel to One Eyed Jack’s and meet with the madam, Blackie O’Reilly. Audrey leaves a clue for Cooper. Deputy Hawk finds a bloody towel near the crime scene.

FORMAT: DCP

### **ABOUT THE SERIES:**

**TWIN PEAKS, 1990, Paramount, USA**

A crime drama mixed with healthy doses of the surreal, this series is about FBI Agent Dale Cooper, who travels to the small logging town of Twin Peaks to solve the murder of seemingly innocent high schooler Laura Palmer. Almost nothing is as it seems, however, and the show’s sometimes eerie visuals, oddball characters and wild dream sequences drive the point home.

**Screenwriter**: Kleber Mendonça Filho

**Producers**: Emilie Lesclaux,  Kleber Mendonça Filho,  Wagner Moura,  Brent Travers

Join us in the microcinema for Kleber Mendonça Filho&#8217;s latest Cannes-winning masterpiece, the harrowing Brazilian political thriller *The Secret Agent*. Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho teams up with renowned actor Wagner Moura &#8211; giving an extraordinary, career-defining performance &#8211; to craft a thrillingly unpredictable, playfully shape-shifting epic steeped in history even as it feels remarkably contemporary, paying affectionate tribute to the movies of Filho’s youth while unfolding against the backdrop of political turmoil and palpable danger.

Amid the raucous revelry of Carnival week, a widower named Marcelo (Wagner Moura) arrives in 1977 in Recife, Brazil, a city as vibrant as it is violent. A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship&#8217;s political maelstrom, Marcelo is a man on the run from mercenary killers, from ghosts of the past and from the ruthless, mischievously militant spirit of Brazil in 1977. In the midst of these mounting threats, Marcelo, with the help of a mysterious woman named Elza and her compatriots in the country&#8217;s growing underground resistance, remains primarily focused on escaping Brazil with his young son.

Wondrously raw and endlessly stylish, with cinematography from the masterful Christopher Doyle that fluctuates between rich saturation to monochromatic, this masterpiece triumphs in aesthetics and emotional resonance.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Based on the beloved memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch and marking the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is a raw and unflinching portrait of survival, sexuality and self-invention. The film traces Lidia’s life from her earliest memories in the Pacific Northwest, as a promising swimmer, through fractured relationships, near-motherhood, addiction and encounters with artistic heroes. Told as a fluid memory wash, the story transforms trauma into art, embodying Yuknavitch’s defiant voice that made her work a modern cult classic. It is not only a chronicle of a woman becoming a writer, but a visceral journey through the wreckage and resilience of a life lived against the grain.

In this B-side to CHUNGKING EXPRESS, Hong Kong is a neon fever dream; a rush of lights illuminating the broken hearts of its inhabitants; the lives of a contract killer (Leon Lai) and his lovelorn partner (Michelle Reis), a drifter in search of her ex-boyfriend, and a mute ex-con (Takeshi Kaneshiro) cross paths in its streets. A cool nocturnal reverie; aglow fluorescent with urban anxieties and longing; characterized by an exhilarating, go-for-broke panache typifying Wong Kar Wai’s ‘90 style.

Screenings and Readings presented by JOAN, Rotations & Alexis Kyle Mitchell

Films by Peter Weiss, Jacqui Duckworth, Julie Dash, Mary Helena Clark, Barbara Hammer, Sarah Ballard, Yelena Gluzman, Onyeka Igwe, Margaret Raspé, and more.

Readings by Danielle Carr, Amelia Bande, and others to be announced.

Curated together by Rotations’ Corina Copp, JOAN’s Suzy Halajian, and artist Alexis Kyle Mitchell, this two-night screening and reading program commemorates the final days of Mitchell’s exhibition *The Goal of Our Health*, on view at JOAN through January 31. *Events for a Moving Body* brings together films and readings that think with the body as a site of knowledge, relation, and struggle. Spanning archival and contemporary experimental, ethnographic, and transnational queer, feminist and artist cinema practices, these works reflect on athleticism, performance, hysteria, spirit, and human–animal ecologies; extending Mitchell’s inquiry into how embodied knowledge resists the limits imposed on bodies by medical, economic, social, and ideological structures.

Mitchell’s JOAN exhibition marks the Los Angeles premiere of her 2024 feature-length film *The Treasury of Human Inheritance*, which explores the idea of inheritance as a genetic, political, and spiritual set of relations; and includes newly commissioned works that unearth a history and aesthetics of fascist and eugenicist logics and practices. In dialogue, *Events for a Moving Body* constellates transtemporal moving images that bring into view the body in its sensorial labors—Jacqui Duckworth, Julie Dash, Peter Weiss, Margaret Raspé—with anachronistic works by artists Onyeka Igwe, Yelena Gluzman, Sarah Ballard, and Mary Helena Clark, among others, that immerse us newly.

How have bodies historically navigated constraint through collectivity, ritual, repetition, and shared forms of attention? Invited poets and scholars Danielle Carr, Amelia Bande, and others will read in and around the film-work, together proposing the body as something not merely acted upon. Instead, histories are embodied, memory flows multidirectionally, and new forms emerge for health, care, and desire outside capitalist and imperialist frameworks.

Grab the remote and turn the channel to *UHF*, the one film to properly showcase the idiotic brilliance of Weird Al, and one of the strangest comedies of the 1980s (which is saying a lot for the 80s!) When his uncle hands George Newman (Weird Al) the keys to his flailing UHF (look it up youngsters!) station, George starts to nix the reruns and start making ridiculous and subversive content that finally brings in an audience. But a rival TV executive isn&#8217;t taking the success well and vows to bring down Newman and all his new programming. It&#8217;s goofy, it&#8217;s stupid, it&#8217;s beyond hilarious, it&#8217;s everything you would expect from a Weird Al movie and so much more!
