A Place of Rage U.S., 1991 This insightful documentary, one of Pratibha Parmar’s early features, delivers candid interviews with activists Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker where they talk through their experiences with the Civil Rights, Black Power, Feminist and LGBTQ+ movements. As they reassess key figures like Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer, the film offers essential perspectives from the 1990s culture wars that provide vital historical context for ongoing struggles for justice and equality. DCP, color, 52 min. Director: Pratibha Parmar. With: Angela Davis, June Jordan, Alice Walker. My Name Is Andrea U.S., 2022 Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea is a bold hybrid documentary reexamining the life and legacy of radical feminist Andrea Dworkin. Decades before #MeToo, Dworkin challenged sexism and rape culture with fearless urgency, shaped by values learned in the Civil Rights Movement. Blending rare archival footage with performances of Dworkin’s salient writing by Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg, Andrea Riseborough and Christine Lahti, Parmar crafts a rousing portrait of a brilliant yet misunderstood public intellectual whose searing call for justice still resonates powerfully today. DCP, color, 91 min. Director/Screenwriter: Pratibha Parmar. With: Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg. —Public Programmer Beandrea July Part of: A Place of Rage: Women and Anger on Screen Location: Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum

The Scent of Green Papaya France, 1993 Writer-director Tr?n Anh Hùng won the Caméra d’Or at Cannes for his debut feature, The Scent of Green Papaya, a luminous portrait of the sensuous world as experienced by Mùi, a young servant girl to a troubled, middle-class family, in 1950s Saigon. Taking up her duties as a child, Mùi marvels at the small wonders that suffuse the open-air home — raindrops glistening on leaves, the hum of insects, the scent of papaya in the courtyard. Preparing and sharing meals becomes central to her attunement with the rhythms of nature and family life, as well as Hùng’s larger meditation on memory, desire and the grace of the everyday.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, color, in Vietnamese with English subtitles, 104 min.

In-person: Professor Kathleen McHugh, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, will give a brief talk before the screening. Q&A to follow screening. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. I May Destroy You U.K., 2020 Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a radical, genre-defying exploration of trauma, consent and creative survival in the post-#MeToo era. Professor Kathleen McHugh’s latest research on women and anger explores the topic through the series, which, McHugh argues, channels Coel’s anger as both trauma response and creative force. The result: a bold, complex portrait of survival, consent and artistic self-possession. Inspired by Coel’s own experience of assault, the series follows Arabella, a rising writer whose rape during a night out shatters her sense of reality. In Episode 1, Arabella vanishes into the night, only to wake with no memory and a wound on her forehead. Episode 9 explores how her growing online presence alienates those closest to her. The finale imagines alternate confrontations with her rapist before Arabella ultimately reclaims her narrative. Formally daring and emotionally fearless, Coel’s series resists tidy resolutions, instead offering a bold meditation on self-preservation and the messy, nonlinear work of healing. Professor McHugh will give a brief talk, followed by a screening and on-stage conversation. Episode 1: “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” Digital video, color, 30 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Marouane Zotti, Stephen Wight.

Twentieth Kenneth Karmiole Lecture on the History of the Book Trade, Lecture by William Zachs, Director of the Blackie House Library and Museum. In this lecture, William Zachs outlines the origins of stereotype printing (print production from metal plates rather than moveable type), then turns his focus to the “non-moveable type” productions of Edinburgh goldsmith William Ged (c. 1683–1749). Taking a forensic look at Ged’s few known works, Zachs hypothesizes the existence of a group of previously unknown stereotyped books, thus offering a revised history of alternative methods of book production in Britain in the first half of the 18th century.
