### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor star in one of the greatest musicals ever filmed. Musician Don Lockwood (Kelly) rises to stardom during Hollywood’s silent-movie era–paired with the beautiful, jealous and dumb Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen). When Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden (Reynolds), Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, audiences laugh when they hear Lockwood speak for the first time–and the studio uses Selden to dub her voice. Set during the advent of “talkies,” this film classic song-and-dance numbers celebrate the beginning of movie musicals.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles.*

Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. Originally conceived as a segment of CHUNGKING EXPRESS only to spin off on its own woozy axis, this hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, FALLEN ANGELS is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Charlie (Nicolas Cage) has a problem. His sex life is a mess. His script, an adaptation of the very real New York Times bestseller The Orchid Thief – an investigative reportage into the story of orchid hunter John Laroche (Chris Cooper) by writer Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) — is unfinished. And then there’s the problem of his screenwriter twin brother with ambitions of his own, also played by Nicolas Cage. With his creative process at the mercy of Hollywood demands, he soon finds himself writing in the margins of reality and fiction as a character in his own screenplay. An irreverent script, a film – featuring Cage as a thinly-veiled characterization of scribe Charlie Kaufman – in constant state of evolution.

Adaptation

ICA LA is proud to partner with [Visual AIDS](https://visualaids.org/) for Day With(out) Art 2025 by presenting *Meet Us Where We’re At…*, a program of six videos that forefront the experiences of drug users and harm reduction practices as they intersect with the ongoing HIV crisis. 

*Meet Us Where We’re At…* will feature newly commissioned videos by **Kenneth Idongesit Usoro** (Nigeria), **Hoàng Thái Anh** (Vietnam), **Gustavo Vinagre & Vinicius Couto** (Brazil/Portugal), **Camilo Tapia Flores** (Chile/Brazil), **Camila Flores-Fernández** (Peru/Germany), and **José Luis Cortés** (Puerto Rico).

Commissioned videos by artists in Puerto Rico, Brazil, Nigeria, Germany, and Vietnam journey across a range of spaces revealing the complexity of drug use. Several videos document the visible world of drugs—a harm reduction program in a Berlin park, a night out during Rio’s Carnival—while others reveal private, often hidden spaces where safety is found: bedrooms, underground clinics, and moments of connection between lovers.

*Meet Us Where We’re At…* speaks not only to the variety of physical locations where contemporary harm reduction is practiced, but also to a broader shift: centering drug users as authors of their own experiences. Rooted in the philosophy of meeting people at their personal reality without judgment, the program affirms the full context of drug use—its pleasures, its risks, and its role in how people survive, care, and connect.

Harm reduction has long been central to the AIDS movement through practices like needle exchange and safe injection sites, and people who use drugs have been affected by HIV since the earliest days of the epidemic. This program brings their perspectives to the forefront, amplifying the voices of drug users as storytellers, cultural producers, and essential participants in the global response to HIV.

*Meet Us Where We’re At…* will be screened all day at ICA LA from 11AM–6PM. Visitors will also have the chance to view exhibitions on view including *Sandra Vásquez de la Horra: The Awake Volcanoes*, *Samar Al Summary: Excavating the Sky*, *Liz Hernández: Donde piso, crecen cosas (Where I step, things grow)*, as well as bookshelf residency annex exhibition *Feminist Press*.

Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.

Capturing the youthful dynamism and creative chaos at the heart of one of the world’s most beloved and influential movies, *Nouvelle Vague *transports us to the streets of 1959 Paris for an ode to the power of cinema to transform our lives.

When a singing and dancing musical group move from Ohio to the Big Apple (and naturally rent a one bedroom in the slums for 8 people) they&#8217;ve got stars in their eyes and a battle of the bands in their sights! But first they&#8217;ve got to head to the clubs and get shamed for not being hip to the street before integrating more hip-hop moves into their repertoire before the big competition. With a soundtrack supervised by Quincy Jones and featuring original banger after banger, this treasure doesn&#8217;t disappoint! If you love an 80s musical or the *Step Up* franchise and have not seen this unsung classic before, do not wait!

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

The names ricochet through Western lore. Jesse James (Brad Pitt) was the most notorious outlaw of his time, wanted by the law in ten states yet celebrated as a Robin Hood in newspapers and dime novels. Teenaged Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) idolized Jesse, sought his friendship, rode with him. It wasn’t enough. The up-and-comer wanted his shot at fame. And when he got it, he took it.

Pitt gives a volcanic, charismatic performance as Jesse in this saga of celebrity and obsession adapted from Ron Hansen’s historical novel by director Andrew Dominik. “They’re all lies,” Jesse says of the stories surrounding him. A deeper, more human truth awaits in this ambitious and stirring epic film.

Left in the care of Erica and his doctor, a love triangle starts to take shape.

**Remembering Diane Keaton:**

Diane Keaton was always a genre unto herself. On and off screen, she was effortlessly funny, achingly honest, and unafraid to mirror back to us what it means to be human in an impossible world. She changed the very definition of femininity with her iconic fashion and unapologetic agency. She gave us women who think deeply, laugh loudly, and live on their own terms – and in every performance, a reminder that connection and authenticity are the truest forms of storytelling.

Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is a bright and charismatic sociopath who makes his way in mid-’50s New York City as a men’s room attendant and sometimes pianist, though his real skill is in impersonating other people, forging handwriting, and running second-rate scams. After being mistaken for a Princeton student, Tom meets the shipping tycoon father of Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law), who has traveled to the coast of Italy, where he’s living a carefree life with his father’s money and his beautiful girlfriend, Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow). Dickie’s father will pay Ripley 1,000 dollars plus his expenses if he can persuade Dickie to return to America. As Ripley and Dickie become friends, Tom finds himself both attracted to Dickie and envious of his life of pleasure. In time, he decides that he would rather be Dickie Greenleaf than Tom Ripley…

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Korean with English subtitles.*

A tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft amidst a breathtaking landscape, tended to by a solitary Monk. Into this serene setting comes a young child, who will become the Old Monk’s protege… and so begins a lifelong journey of hope, despair, passion and redemption. From the brash actions of youth, through the dawn of adolescence and the fullness of adulthood, one man’s life lessons are learned as seasons pass, his emotional inner life changing as the landscape around him. Award-winning Korean writer/director/editor Kim Ki-duk has crafted a lushly exotic, yet universal story about the human spirit and its evolution, from Innocence to Love, Evil to Enlightenment and ultimately to Rebirth.

Presented by The Great Film Club!

Famously shot on iPhones with prototype anamorphic lenses, this decidedly modern holiday tale bursts off the screen with energy and style, defying expectations at every turn. It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone) hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the sex worker and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity. “An indie tour de force. … Tangerine jumps off the screen and wows you like nobody’s business.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

When we first meet Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp in this comic gem, he’s in typical straits: broke, hungry, destined to fall in love, and just as sure to lose the girl. Mistaken for a pickpocket and pursued by a peace officer into a circus tent, the Tramp becomes a star when delighted patrons think his escape from John Law is an act. At the first ever Academy Awards ceremony, Chaplin was honored with a special statuette for “versatility and genius in writing, acting, directing, and producing THE CIRCUS.” And, it went without saying, for again bringing laughter to packed movie palaces across America.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In French with English subtitles.*

“Carolers and tinsel; the perfect setting for Christmas Eve in a snowy mountain village. But when a body is discovered, dressed as Santa, the hysteria soon spreads and accusations fly. The first film produced by German controlled Continental Films, who regulated film production under the Occupation, this is more than a fireside mystery for a chilly night… a parable for collaboration, subversively [portraying] a perilous moment in French history.” – *L’Alliance*

Deadly Games, Dial Code Santa Claus

Enjoy a short curated pre-show before the film.

Previously only available via Vhs bootlegs and a huge audience slayer since its debut at Fantastic Fest, Dial Code Santa Claus (aka 3615 Code PÈRe NoËL and Deadly Games) is your new favorite holiday slayride. Thomas is a typical 1980s kid: he loves computers, role-playing games, and his dog. While mom is away at the office on Christmas Eve, Thomas and his grandfather are left home alone — perfect timing for a disgruntled, perverted, bloodthirsty Santa Claus to raid the home down the chimney. But Hell hath no fury like a mulleted ten-year-old with an arsenal of toys! Made a year before Home Alone, the French-made Dial Code Santa Claus has almost the same plot — only filled with more style, bloodshed, and Rambo references.

Hey Angelenos! Los Angeles is in the process of reforming its city charter for the first time in 30 years! The city charter is the foundational legal document that defines how our local government works and how the city responds to such challenges as housing, climate, and public safety.

On December 13th, a **Mini Civic Assembly** organized by the **ReWrite LA** initiative will take place at the museum. A civic assembly is a rare experiment in direct democracy that invites Angelenos to reimagine the city’s charter reform process from the ground up.

2046

LA Filmforum presents filmmaker Naomi Uman's 2023 feature, *three sparks*.

Filmmaker Naomi Uman has mentioned that “*three sparks* is a nightmare, a dream and an awakening”. It is a triptych story told in three parts. Extremely lyrical yet amoeba-like in form, the first part of the triptych engages the Legend of Rozafa and is told in song, just as the Albanian folktale itself is in. The second part absorbs us into the writings of artist and anthropologist Edith Durham, and appears to us cinematically in book form, just as the writings of Edith are found in. The third part captivates us through video recordings, speaking to us with the immediacy and directness modern stories are told in.

The film plays with our senses, toggling with our consciousness as text itself communicates visually what is simultaneously heard, between linguistic languages we know and linguistic languages we do not speak. The rural and mountaineer landscapes activate various cultural phenomena that spur us into exploring landscapes and non-linearity, merging the lines between known and unknown future(s), past(s), and present(s). three sparks heightens the way our perception thinks about old laws, traditional gender relations, and various ways our presence as filmmakers and human beings is felt while making, and viewing, bodies full of world.
