Join us at DataX as Daniel Scott Snelson presents a book talk on his recently published The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats (University of Minnesota Press, 2025). Snelson explores how digital archives dramatically transform the artifacts they host and how these transformations might help us better understand our own private collections in turn. He develops creative tools and contingent methods for reading cultural data, whether found in public-facing repositories on the internet or in our own collections of TXT, JPG, MP3, and MOV artifacts. Within and beyond the project, experimental poetic interludes give readers practical entry points into the creative practice of producing new meanings in any given little database. Inventive and interdisciplinary, The Little Database grapples with the digitized afterlives of cultural objects, playing with the way in which the past is continually reconfigured to shape the present. Light refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by: DataX, The Livescu Initiative on Neuro, Narrative and AI (NNAI), Program in Digital Humanities, and Text/Tech Lab. Schedule Check in and Pre-Reception: 3:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m. Book Talk and Q&A: 3:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. Reception (continued): 4:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences In our 250th year of democracy in America, the country faces numerous challenges. Many public policy problems remain unaddressed. Congress and the state legislatures are unsure about how togovern in the face of rising presidential powers. And the country needs a new generation of political leaders to guide us forward. Professor Craig Volden at the University of Virginia directs the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which seeks to study and promote effective lawmaking in Congress and the states. Volden will describe how the Center measures and scores the effectiveness of each member of Congress and each state legislator. He will discuss the habits of highly effective lawmakers and a series of studies from the Center that highlight how American legislatures can regain their rightful place—comprised of effective lawmakers, strong institutional capacity and the incentive structure needed to address America’s greater public policy challenges. This talk is offered both in person and online. RSVP is requested. Light refreshments will be served. Craig Volden is Co-Director of the Center for Effective Lawmaking. He is a Professor of Public Policy and Politics, with appointments in the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia. He studies the politics of public policy, with a focus on what policy choices arise within legislative institutions and within American federalism. His work on effective lawmaking includes Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress: The Lawmakers, co-authored with Alan Wiseman, which develops a methodology for scoring the lawmaking effectiveness of each member of Congress, identifying how lawmakers could better address the nation’s policy problems. That work won the Fenno Prize for the best book on legislative politics and the Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best book on U.S. national policy. He has published numerous articles in such journals as: American Political Science Review; American Journal of Political Science; Journal of Politics; Legislative Studies Quarterly; and State Politics and Policy Quarterly.

Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more – and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. Other options like Twitter and ResearchGate will also be explored. Instructor: Jason Burton

When sharing data, researchers are often told be “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. But what does this actually mean? How can researchers ensure their data complies with funder and publisher requirements and mandates while respecting data sovereignty, self-determination and privacy? Is “FAIR data” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) the same thing as “open data”? This workshop will delve into these difficult questions and discuss how pairing the technical framework of FAIR Principles and the ethical framework of CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance can help ensure responsible stewardship of your research data.

Join us at DataX as Daniel Scott Snelson presents a book talk on his recently published The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats (University of Minnesota Press, 2025). Snelson explores how digital archives dramatically transform the artifacts they host and how these transformations might help us better understand our own private collections in turn. He develops creative tools and contingent methods for reading cultural data, whether found in public-facing repositories on the internet or in our own collections of TXT, JPG, MP3, and MOV artifacts. Within and beyond the project, experimental poetic interludes give readers practical entry points into the creative practice of producing new meanings in any given little database. Inventive and interdisciplinary, The Little Database grapples with the digitized afterlives of cultural objects, playing with the way in which the past is continually reconfigured to shape the present. Light refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by: DataX, The Livescu Initiative on Neuro, Narrative and AI (NNAI), Program in Digital Humanities, and Text/Tech Lab. Schedule Check in and Pre-Reception: 3:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m. Book Talk and Q&A: 3:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. Reception (continued): 4:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

Always for Pleasure U.S., 1978 On the streets and porches, in the living rooms and the kitchens of New Orleans, documentarian Les Blank observes an American city like no other. As one of his subjects puts it, “It’s the last place in America that you feel just sort of free to live.” A graduate of Tulane University, Blank acknowledges the complexity of the city’s history in that regard which deepens its scenes of jubilant celebrations brimming with life, from St. Patrick’s Day to Mardi Gras where red beans and rice and Cajun seasoned crawdads are consumed with copious amounts of beer. 16mm, color, 58 min. Director: Les Blank. Restored by the Academy Film Archive with funding provided by The Film Foundation. Yum, Yum, Yum!: A Taste of the Cajun and Creole Cooking of Louisiana U.S., 1990 As Margaret Chenier, wife of zydeco master Clifton Chenier, slices fresh garlic in her Louisiana backyard, documentarian Les Blank asks her off-screen, “You don’t use garlic powder?” Without missing a slice she recalls her mother’s cooking and rejects the idea full stop: “There’s a lot of new stuff coming out but … we use that real good stuff.” Blank’s intimate deep dive into the techniques of Cajun and Creole chefs is all about the real good stuff they put into the preparation of catfish, crawfish, okara, chicken sauce piquante, candied yams, beef tongue and more. A mouth-watering melding of music, food and tradition, Yum Yum Yum delivers exactly what its title evokes. DCP, color, 31 min.

Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Numbskull Revolution U.S., 2025 World theatrical premiere! With raucous, three-chord cinematic bangers such as My Degeneration (1989), Terminal USA (1993) and Mod Fuck Explosion (1994), the Godfather of Punk Cinema, filmmaker Jon Moritsugu, defined the trashy, rough-hewn DIY aesthetic of 1990s underground filmmaking. The Archive is thrilled to welcome Moritsugu back to the Billy Wilder Theater for the world theatrical premiere of Numbskull Revolution, his first feature in over a decade, created with longtime collaborator and ex-wife, Amy Davis. She and James Duval play a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville, Earth. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber drug called Skullfuck. Ingenious production design and savvy location shooting evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which Mortisugu frames this scathing satire of art world pretension.

Make a Wish Itmanna, Palestine, 2006 20th anniversary screening Shot on mini-DV in the occupied West Bank, Cherien Dabis’ debut follows eleven-year-old Mariam’s determined quest to buy a birthday cake — a simple act complicated by life under occupation. As critic Marya E. Gates writes, the short “packs an emotional wallop that pushes you to reconsider everything.” Poignant then and even more urgent now, Make a Wish launched Dabis’ career after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival and being screened at festivals worldwide. Digital, color, 12 min. Director/Screenwriter: Cherien Dabis. With: Mayar Rantisse, Lone Khilleh, Iman Aoun.

Combining personal testimony with geopolitical insight, the film reveals the deep longing, shared culture and unresolved tensions that continue to define the Korean peninsula today.

American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs U.S., 2013 From the intimacy of her kitchen table to walks through Detroit’s post-industrial urban gardens, Grace Lee’s documentary portrait of her mentor offers a compelling look at the extraordinary life of philosopher, activist and Chinese American immigrant first generation daughter of Chinese immigrants Grace Lee Boggs. A radical thinker and cornerstone of Black liberation movements, Boggs — who died in 2015 at age 100 — transformed abstract philosophy into community action. At once personal and profound, American Revolutionary captures Boggs at 98, still questioning, teaching and evolving her vision of what it means to change the world. DCP, color, 82 min.

Under Construction (or the place where I was born no longer exists) Chile, 2000 A man watches as his neighborhood in Santiago, Chile, changes around him. Houses are sold and torn down, neighbors move away. Refusing to change with it, he invites documentarian Ignacio Agüero into his home, sharing his hobbies and personal history with the camera. Meanwhile, life continues, bringing changes within his own family — the passage of time never ceasing. Ignacio Agüero, one of Chile’s most acclaimed documentarians, made his early films during the Pinochet dictatorship. Under Construction captures a post-Pinochet Chile at the turn of the century, as the people of Santiago reflect on their country’s history through architecture, anecdotes and visions of the future. Digital, color, in Spanish with English subtitles, 77 min. Director: Ignacio Agüero. Give Me a Home Taiwan, 1991 Before his feature film debut Rebels of the Neon God (1992), Tsai Ming-liang had a brief career directing made-for-television films. Give Me a Home is one of these early works, offering glimpses of Tsai’s distinctive, lingering cinematic style soon to emerge in full definition. His television work often centered on the struggles of Taipei’s working class, as seen here. Set in 1990s Taipei, the film follows a young unhoused family whose breadwinner builds houses for others. Filming in both public and private spaces, Tsai reveals the lives of those living in the shadows, without a shelter of their own. Digital, color, in Mandarin with English subtitles, 52 min. Director: Tsai Ming-liang. Screenwriters: Tsai Ming-liang, Li Zongyu. With: Lung Chang, Ling-Ling Hsia. —Associate Programmer Nicole Ucedo Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home, Part II

Join us for the opening reception of this exhibition, curated by Edward Hyunsoo Yang (Loren and Frances Rothschild Endowed Graduate Research Fellow). The Gothic has long carried a reputation of being little more than cheap entertainment: a genre thought to possess limited literary or cultural value. This exhibition, on view by appointment through April 13, 2026, challenges that view by tracing the Gothic’s connection to a collective cultural effort to establish, and promote, an identifiably English art.

Hong Kong Lovers Passion ??, Hong Kong, 1986 Sylvia Chang directs, writes and co-stars in this story of best friends Wendy (Chang) and Ming (Cora Miao), who fall in love with the same man, John (George Lam). Chang — described by The New York Times as “Taiwan’s answer to Barbra Streisand” — is also an accomplished singer, and she demonstrates her deft skill behind the camera in this D&B Films production, her second directorial effort. Melodrama shapes the film’s emotional terrain, as tensions unfold over decades and the characters face moral dilemmas that pit fidelity and friendship against the reckless pull of passion. 35mm, in Cantonese with traditional Chinese and English subtitles, 90 min. Director/Screenwriter: Sylvia Chang. With: Sylvia Chang, Cora Miao, George Lam, Chung King Fai. Starry Is the Night ??????, Hong Kong, 1988 Prolific filmmaker Ann Hui plays with narrative structure as a means of exploring character interiority in this intergenerational love story between Chui Mei (Brigitte Lin) and her lovers, Dr. Zhang (George Lam) and Tian-An (David Ng). Lin delivers a tender performance as an ordinary woman confronting her past affairs while contemplating future entanglements. (She would later gain further acclaim in the wuxia genre of martial arts epics.) Lam once again co-stars as a tormented love interest whose brooding sex appeal makes him irresistible yet ill-equipped to navigate the temptations of human nature.

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hugh M. Hefner Classic American Film Program In-person: Q&A with Steven C. Smith, author of “Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores That Changed Cinema.” Book signing before the screening, beginning at 6 p.m. 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. Between 1955 and 1964, filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann collaborated on eight films, including Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963), that reshaped American cinema. As the Cold War set in, censorship regimes loosened and television took its toll on the box office, Hitchcock responded to the times with stories and images that pushed Hollywood’s boundaries to attract new, younger audiences to the big screen. In Herrmann, Hitchcock found an erudite composer willing to take chances with him. Indeed, Hitchcock so trusted Herrmann's insights into the medium and music's role in it that he would adjust editing and even dialogue in key sequences to accommodate Herrmann’s scoring. In background and temperament they were unlikely partners but their work together produced some of the most enduring, visionary and influential cinema of the last century. Award-winning filmmaker and film historian Steven C. Smith dives deep into their creative relationship and the forces that shaped it in his latest book, Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores That Changed Cinema. As part of this program, Smith will deliver an illustrated talk about these visionary collaborators before a screening of their iconic work on Psycho (1960) and a post-screening Q&A. Psycho U.S., 1960 Paramount was so unnerved by the concept for Psycho — loosely based on a magazine article about serial killer Ed Gein — that Alfred Hitchcock agreed to front the cost of production himself to get it made. By the time Hitchcock brought a rough cut to Bernard Herrmann, however, even the director had lost faith in the project. “He was crazy,” Herrmann later recalled. “He didn’t know what he had.” But the composer had “some ideas.” Herrmann’s groundbreaking minimalist score of stabbing, sweeping strings elevates the stripped down dread of Hitchcock’s images in a visionary fusion like no other. Herrmann’s score made Psycho work and then Psycho changed cinema history. DCP, b&w, 109 min. Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Screenwriter: Joseph Stefano. With: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles. Programmed and notes written by Paul Malcolm. Part of: Archive Talks

Belongings: Changing Hands and Shifting Meanings in African Art explores the layered lives of African objects as they journeyed from their places of origin to the Fowler Museum. Rather than focusing solely on original use or function, this exhibition reveals the many transitions, hands, and histories these works have passed through from their early ownership in Africa to colonial collectors, European markets, and eventually UCLA. Together, we’ll consider how objects carry multiple meanings across time and space, and how museums can invite new voices and perspectives on the stories they tell. Erica P. Jones is the senior curator of African arts and manager of curatorial affairs at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. Her curatorial work has engaged such themes as the legacy of colonialism in Africa, historical royal arts, and resonances between Africa and its diasporas. Exhibitions she has curated or co-curated include: The House Was Too Small: Yoruba Sacred Arts from Africa and Beyond (2023); Inheritance: Recent Video Art from Africa (2019); On Display in the Walled City: The Nigerian Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition 1924–1925 (2019); and Meleko Mokgosi: Bread, Butter, and Power (2018). Jones is on the board of African Arts journal; serves as a co-chair of the steering committee for the Collaboration, Collections, and Restitution Best Practices Working Group; and in 2024, led the Fowler Museum’s repatriation of seven looted objects to the Asante Kingdom in Ghana. Her publishing has been concentrated on colonial-era collecting, provenance, and the arts and museums of the Cameroon Grassfields. Jones holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in art history from UCLA and a B.A. in art history and anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania.

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. The Solitude of Memory ¿Por Qué El Recuerdo?, Mexico/U.S., 2014 Recounting the circumstances of his son Nando’s suicide, José seems both comforted by and unaware of filmmaker Juan Pablo González’s camera as he retells the events of that final day. The short unfolds in three chapters: each repetition feels like an excavation, grief both fresh and buried. Set against the vast farmlands he once worked on with his son, the film’s haunting soundscape and a capella cantos transform mourning into landscape, revealing how memory reshapes what remains and how loss echoes through time and place. Digital, color, 20 min. Director/Screenwriter: Juan Pablo González. Songs My Brothers Taught Me U.S., 2015 Chloé Zhao’s quietly devastating debut unfolds on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation, where high school senior Johnny prepares to leave home until a sudden family death makes him reluctant to abandon his 13-year-old sister. Blending fiction and documentary, Zhao casts local community members without professional acting experience, grounding the film in authenticity. The result is a work of lyrical realism and emotional restraint that captures the beauty, hardship and resilience of reservation life. DCP, color, 98 min. Director/Screenwriter: Chloé Zhao.

This talk by Margaret D. Stetz (University of Delaware) suggests that Oscar Wilde's fairy tales have been just as influential as his work in world of the theatre and his effect on Gothic fiction. This influence was clear almost immediately after the publication of both The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888) and A House of Pomegranates (1891), especially in works by rebellious “New Women” of the 1890s such as “George Egerton” (Mary Chavelita Dunne), Mabel Nembhard, and Ella Erskine.

Giannis in the Cities Greece, 2024 During the Greek Civil War fought between 1946-1949, childhood itself became a frontline in the clash between government and rebel forces. Under the guise of offering protection and education, the Greek government enticed parents to surrender their children to a system of Childcare Cities that served as indoctrination mills that oftentimes alienated their wards from their own families. In her riveting, visually striking adaptation of the memoir of Greek writer Giannis Atzakas, writer-director Eleni Alexandrakis tells the searing story of Atzakas and his experience growing up in these harsh institutions all the while unable to shake the memory of his rebel father and his longing for — and aversion to — a reunion.

Red Hollywood U.S. 1996 Abraham Polonsky, the writer of Body and Soul, said, “All films that are about crime are about capitalism.” In the 1940s, the House Un-American Activities Committee and studio executives conspired to create a blacklist barring hundreds of film artists suspected of communist sympathies, like Polonsky, from employment, upending countless lives. In Red Hollywood, Thom Andersen and Noël Burch reassess the blacklist’s legacy by reassembling footage from over 50 films made by blacklisted artists. These films, once dismissed as minor, are reconsidered as thoughtful attempts to tackle social and political issues in ways that Hollywood wouldn’t attempt again for decades.—Public Programs Assistant Noah Brockman DCP, color, 114 min. Directors/Screenwriters: Thom Andersen, Noël Burch. With: Billy Woodberry (narration). The Master Race U.S., 1944 George Coulouris stars as a Nazi commander who, seeing the writing on the wall for the Third Reich, disperses his officers incognito around liberated Europe to begin sowing seeds of discontent anew. As he assures them: “In our hands, hate can be turned into the most potent of weapons.” Settling himself in a Belgian town under Allied control, he works to undermine fledgling reconstruction efforts by playing on local antagonisms and resentment. A study of fascist rhetorical and propaganda tactics in the guise of a thriller, The Master Race was directed by Herbert J. Biberman who co-wrote the script with Anne Froelich and Rowland Leigh, with Biberman and Froelich both blacklisted just a few years later.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 95 min.

Originally staged by the East West Players, pioneering author Wakako Yamauchi’s adaptation of her award-winning play, “And the Soul Shall Dance,” for KCET’s Hollywood Television Theatre is a poetic, haunting drama that reveals the hardships Japanese Americans faced during the Great Depression. Set in California’s Imperial Valley, Yamauchi's moving work explores the lives of two farming families as they struggle to make ends meet and assimilate in a so-called land of opportunity defined by systemic racism. Yamauchi’s teleplay unfolds through the eyes of a sensitive girl, Masako (Denice Kumagai), who bears witness to the challenges facing her loving parents (Pat Li, Sab Shimono) and the unraveling lives of a neighboring couple, Emiko (Haunani Minn) and Oka (Yuki Shimoda). Abused by her husband from an arranged marriage, Emiko dreams of a return to Japan to reclaim her past life, far from an inhospitable America. Her profound journey represents an indelible requiem for generations of Issei and Nisei beyond the play’s setting of the 1930s, with Yamauchi herself unjustly incarcerated as a teen at the concentration camp for Japanese Americans in Poston, Arizona, during World War II. Post-screening panel discussion moderated by UCLA Professor Karen Umemoto, Helen and Morgan Chu Director of the Asian American Studies Center,with Brian Niiya, Content Director of Densho, Lily Tung Crystal, Artistic Director, East West Players, and actor Denice Kumagai-Hoy.

Cloak and Dagger U.S., 1946 Director Fritz Lang’s post-war espionage thriller follows Gary Cooper’s nuclear physicist from his lab working on the Manhattan Project to an Italian resistance unit on an OSS mission to rescue a dissident scientist forced to help the Nazis on their own atomic bomb. Lang delivers some outstanding action sequences (no one socks a Nazi quite like Gary Cooper) while later-blacklisted screenwriters, Ring Lardner Jr. and Albert Maltz, put a progressive spin on the film’s nuclear politics — “When are we going to be given a billion dollars to wipe out cancer?” decries Cooper’s physicist — alongside its message that resistance to fascism isn’t only necessary but a moral obligation. 35mm, b&w, 106 min. Director: Fritz Lang. Screenwriters: Ring Lardner Jr., Albert Maltz. With: Gary Cooper, Robert Alda, Lilli Palmer. 35mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Preservation funding provided by The Film Foundation. Keeper of the Flame U.S., 1942 In this mystery melodrama, the legacy of a “great man” of America is called into question after his sudden death in a suspicious car accident. Spencer Tracy is the grizzled veteran reporter who starts asking all the wrong questions of Katharine Hepburn’s grieving but suspicious widow. Donald Ogden Stewart’s script comes with a few paeans to American exceptionalism — ”You and I are free men today because centuries ago some unknown guy got an idea in his head that he was just as good as the guy who was bossing him” — in a story that decidedly suggests “it can happen here” as homegrown fascists wrap themselves in patriotic imagery and rhetoric. 35mm, b&w, 100 min.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences In our 250th year of democracy in America, the country faces numerous challenges. Many public policy problems remain unaddressed. Congress and the state legislatures are unsure about how togovern in the face of rising presidential powers. And the country needs a new generation of political leaders to guide us forward. Professor Craig Volden at the University of Virginia directs the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which seeks to study and promote effective lawmaking in Congress and the states. Volden will describe how the Center measures and scores the effectiveness of each member of Congress and each state legislator. He will discuss the habits of highly effective lawmakers and a series of studies from the Center that highlight how American legislatures can regain their rightful place—comprised of effective lawmakers, strong institutional capacity and the incentive structure needed to address America’s greater public policy challenges. This talk is offered both in person and online. RSVP is requested. Light refreshments will be served. Craig Volden is Co-Director of the Center for Effective Lawmaking. He is a Professor of Public Policy and Politics, with appointments in the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia. He studies the politics of public policy, with a focus on what policy choices arise within legislative institutions and within American federalism. His work on effective lawmaking includes Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress: The Lawmakers, co-authored with Alan Wiseman, which develops a methodology for scoring the lawmaking effectiveness of each member of Congress, identifying how lawmakers could better address the nation’s policy problems. That work won the Fenno Prize for the best book on legislative politics and the Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best book on U.S. national policy. He has published numerous articles in such journals as: American Political Science Review; American Journal of Political Science; Journal of Politics; Legislative Studies Quarterly; and State Politics and Policy Quarterly.

Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more – and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. Other options like Twitter and ResearchGate will also be explored. Instructor: Jason Burton

In the 2025-26 Core Program conference, historians of the Ottoman, Qing, and Mughal empires revisit the problem of comparison by considering synchronicities and structural parallels across Asia. The second conference, "Empires in Practice," looks at Imperial Operations. How did empires work? What did the mundane, everyday operations of imperial rule look like? Early modern empires confronted the same “great enemy” of distance which severely constrained all actions, from government communications to tax collection. The solutions that the Ottomans, Mughals, and the Qing developed to address these common problems shared some essential features despite their local variations. Organized by Professors Choon Hwee Koh & Meng Zhang (History, UCLA) and Abhishek Kaicker (History, UC Berkeley).

Arch of Triumph U.S., 1948 Adapted from Erich Maria Remarque’s novel and directed by Lewis Milestone who also co-wrote, Arch of Triumph finds the City of Lights shrouded in noirish fog and shadow. It’s 1938 and Paris has become the tenuous home for refugees on the run from the Nazis and French immigration to avoid deportation. Among them is Charles Boyer’s doctor who haunts the city’s cafes and recognizes a shared trauma in Ingrid Bergman’s desperate émigré. A tragic romance, Arch of Triumph does double duty dramatizing the cruelty of both facism and an immigration system that would render people stateless by denying them safe haven. 35mm, b&w, 120 min. Director: Lewis Milestone. Screenwriters: Lewis Milestone, Harry Brown. With: Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Charles Laughton. 35mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Voice in the Wind U.S., 1944 In this ultra low-budget B-film produced by Czech émigré Rudolph Monter, Friedrich Torberg plays a Czech concert pianist jailed and tortured by the Nazis for playing “The Moldau,” a symbol of the Czech resistance to their occupation. Escaping his captors and surviving a harrowing journey, he ends up alone on a Caribbean island where his trauma overwhelms him as he longs for his missing wife — dying unbeknownst to him on another part of the island. Imbued with expressionist shadows and told through a series of interwoven flashbacks, Voice in the Wind powerfully expresses the disorientation and despair of European refugees in the wake of fascist violence.

One of the boldest films of the postwar period to tackle homegrown facism, the independent production, The Burning Cross, was the first anti-Klan film to explicitly depict Black Americans as victims of KKK terror on screen. A newly discharged veteran disgruntled by the changes he finds in his small town gravitates to the brutes of a Klan front group, the American Only Association. The brutal realism of the film’s depiction of the rhetoric and tactics culminates in the murder of a Black family burned in their home. The film, however, is not without compromise as an opening prologue restored in this version suggests that the Klan was originally founded by “men of good intentions” who would be betrayed by a corrupt, greedy few. 35mm, b&w, 77 min. Director: Walter Colmes. Screenwriter: Aubrey Wisberg. With: Henry H. Daniels Jr., Virginia Patton, Dick Rich. 35mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and The Film Foundation. Restoration funding provided by The Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. Open Secret U.S., 1948 Released the year after both Gentleman's Agreement (1947) and Crossfire (1947) made anti-semitism their explicit subject, this independently produced film noir takes a grittier approach to the social problem despite never mentioning the word, although the implications are clear. Directed by Austrian-born émigre John Reinhardt, Open Secret unfolds as a small town mystery with a newlywed couple investigating the disappearance of the friend they’ve come to visit. What they discover is a community so corrupted by hate even children join in victimizing anyone who isn’t “the right kind of people.” Ironically, a sweaty cabal stands behind it all with ambitions to take their violent campaign to the national political stage. 35mm, b&w, 68 min.

In a celebrated career spanning over four decades, Academy Award winner Gene Hackman (1930–2025) became recognized as one of the finest American actors of the New Hollywood era. A native Californian who relocated to New York to pursue acting in the late 1950s (with roommates Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall), Hackman toiled for over a decade off and on Broadway, and in dozens of small parts on film and television. By 1968, in between his star-making turns in the iconic features Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and The French Connection (1971), Hackman landed the lead role in the prestigious television anthology CBS Playhouse, in the installment, “My Father and My Mother.” Virtually unseen since its original broadcast, “My Father and My Mother” concerns a writer (Hackman) as he struggles to come to terms with decisions made in the care of his son with an intellectual disability. In seeking answers to his deep emotional crisis, the writer revisits his past, attempting to reconcile painful memories of his late parents (Ralph Bellamy, Jane Wyatt). An obscure footnote in Hackman’s oeuvre, the expressionistically staged drama (videotaped at CBS Television City) represents a creative high point in the actor’s television resume, revealing a performance of psychological depth uncommon to the small screen. In its review, the Los Angeles Times hailed Hackman as “outstanding,” noting the production was “... 90 minutes of thoughtful, well-played drama, of which there is much too little on TV these days.” Programmed and notes written by John H.

When sharing data, researchers are often told be “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. But what does this actually mean? How can researchers ensure their data complies with funder and publisher requirements and mandates while respecting data sovereignty, self-determination and privacy? Is “FAIR data” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) the same thing as “open data”? This workshop will delve into these difficult questions and discuss how pairing the technical framework of FAIR Principles and the ethical framework of CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance can help ensure responsible stewardship of your research data.

Episode 2 Conbody trainer Shane hits a setback and Coss and the team pitch in to help. DCP, color, 62 min. Episode 3 Syretta starts as a trainer at Conbody after her recent return home from prison.
