Archive Talks: Love, Queenie: Revisiting Merle Oberon
Sat 8/2 • 7:30PM PDT
Billy Wilder Theater
Part of: Archive Talks Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A with Mayukh Sen, author of "Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star," moderated by film programmer Miriam Bale. 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. Archive Talks pairs leading historians and scholars with screenings of the moving image media that is the focus of their writing and research. Each program will begin with a special talk by the invited scholar that will introduce audiences to new insights, interpretations and contexts for the films and media being screened. Dark Waters U.S., 1944 After her ship is sunk in the Pacific, a young woman fleeing war wakes in the hospital from a fever dream, distraught, despairing, alone in the world. Undoubtedly, star Merle Oberon could identify with the sense of alienation and anxiety that explodes from her character in the opening moments of director André de Toth’s Southern gothic thriller. Oberon forged a unique Hollywood career that included an early Oscar nomination for her performance in The Dark Angel (1935) and masterful turns in such classics as William Wyler’s These Three (1936) and Wuthering Heights (1939), all while concealing her identity as an Anglo Indian woman born in Bombay (now Mumbai). Identity is at the center of Dark Waters with Oberon’s desperate refugee finding safe harbor in the arms of distant relatives living on a Louisiana plantation where nothing and no one are what they seem. Moody and swirling with menace, de Toth’s swampy noir, with a suspenseful script by Marian Cockrell and Joan Harrison, is a deep cut in Oberon’s starry filmography but one that finds her working at the peak of her powers. The Archive is pleased to present Dark Waters with Mayukh Sen, author of the new biography Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star, who will give a brief talk before the film and after, will join film programmer and critic Miriam Bale in conversation.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 90 min. Director: André de Toth. Screenwriters: Marian Cockrell, Joan Harrison. With: Merle Oberon, Franchot Tone, Thomas Mitchell.

In This Our Life
Sun 8/3 • 7PM PDT
Billy Wilder Theater
Part of: The Devil Finds Work: James Baldwin’s Cinema of the Mind Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Live reading of an excerpt from “The Devil Finds Work” by actor Kendale Winbush (UCLA Theater M.F.A. ’21). 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. James Baldwin: From Another Place Turkey, 1973 Shot over three days in May 1970, this short documentary is a luminous portrait directed by Sedat Pakay, Turkish photographer and friend of Baldwin. Intimate and meditative, the film captures Baldwin in rare moments of ease and introspection as he moves through the vibrant, layered cityscape of Istanbul. The film “captures the profound paradox of Baldwin’s transatlantic vantage point,” writes scholar Magdalena Zaborowska, “how he both belongs and remains an outsider.” DCP, b&w, 12 min. Director: Sedat Pakay. With: James Baldwin. James Baldwin: From Another Place (outtakes) Turkey, 2022 Drawn from recently restored outtakes over 50 years after James Baldwin: From Another Place was originally shot in Istanbul, the film reveals fresh dimensions of Baldwin and of Sedat Pakay as a filmmaker. DCP, b&w, 10 min. Director: Sedat Pakay (outtakes edited by Brian Meacham). With: James Baldwin. Restored by the Yale Film Archive. In This Our Life U.S., 1942 ?At the peak of her stardom, Bette Davis played Stanley Timberlake, a destructive sister in a Virginia family — one of several roles showcasing her flair for morally complex women. James Baldwin wrote Davis was “always on the edge of a great understanding,” seen here opposite Ernest Anderson’s dignified performance. Hattie McDaniel lends a quiet, commanding presence at a pivotal moment in her constrained yet trailblazing career. The film stood out for its rare, pointed critique of racial injustice. 16mm, b&w, 97 min. Director: John Huston. Screenwriter: Howard Koch. With: Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Dennis Morgan, Ernest Anderson, Hattie McDaniel. —Public Programmer Beandrea July
