The conference brings together an audience of 200 advocates, policy experts, elected officials, academic scholars, and community-based leaders to discuss how we build a thriving Black California. Location: UCLA Luskin Conference Center

This conference will gather a group of leading scholars to see where scholarship about the Revolution is on its 250th anniversary. Through their own research, they’ll address the many and exciting ways we’ve come to rethink this important event, including its broader continental and even global reach, and its racial and ideological underpinnings. Unlike a traditional academic conference, however, these talks will be addressed to a mostly non-academic audience of students and members of the public. In doing so, we hope to show non-scholars new ways historians are currently thinking about the meaning of this seminal event in U.S. and world history. Location: William Andrews Clark Memorial Library

This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate, resist, and reflect social animosities.

The keynote address, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate, violence, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).

Introduction by Gerardo Fueyo Bros, consul general of Spain in Los Angeles, and Gonzalo del Puerto, cultural director, Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. 70-minute presentation by historian Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, followed by a Q&A with Ribelles moderated by May Hong HaDuong, director, UCLA Film & Television Archive. Presented in partnership with The Packard Humanities Institute, the Consulate General of Spain in Los Angeles, and the Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. Marking the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, a scholar and historian at The Packard Humanities Institute, presents a program featuring seldom-seen views of the war, drawn from the Hearst Metrotone News collection. The preservation of and access to the collection have been made possible only through the incredible efforts of The Packard Humanities Institute, in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive, to expand access to one of the most significant newsreel archives of the 20th century. This collection of 27 million feet of newsreels includes approximately 288 reels of film related to the Spanish Civil War. At the time, newsreels — short-form, theatrically exhibited news stories — were often the only moving image records of unfolding events available to international audiences. Hearst cameramen covered the conflict extensively and, remarkably, filmed from both sides of the war. Ribelles’ presentation will move chronologically from 1936 to 1939 and feature not only edited newsreels but also selections from longer, previously unseen footage. Describing the Hearst Metrotone News collection as “a gem for any researcher,” Ribelles highlights the opportunities this newly accessible material offers to scholars and history enthusiasts alike. Drawing on production records, maps and related archival documents, she will examine how the newsreels were filmed, edited and circulated, and how studying them today can surface overlooked histories and reshape our understanding of the Spanish Civil War. 90 years after a conflict that tore a nation apart, these newsreels stand as vital audiovisual evidence and as a testament to the enduring impact of making archival collections accessible to all. The Archive is grateful to The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) for its role as the driving force in the project to share the Hearst Metrotone News Collection for research, study and public access. To explore more than 20,000 news stories preserved and made accessible by PHI, including unedited materials featured in this program, visit newsreels.net. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Nakamura (1936–2025), who taught film at UCLA for over 30 years and was widely known as the “godfather of Asian American media.” A co-founder of the pioneering media organization Visual Communications, Nakamura co-directed a milestone feature-length film made by and about Asian Pacific Americans, Hito Hata: Raise the Banner (1980). Shaped by his internment at age six in the prison camp Manzanar during World War II, he transformed personal history into landmark films that helped change how Asian Americans are seen on-screen. Series programmed by Associate Professor Josslyn Luckett, NYU Cinema Studies, and Public Programmer Beandrea July. Notes written by Beandrea July. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

With Donald O’Connor delivering the delirious gags, this timeless classic will leave you with a glorious feeling. 35mm, color, 103 min. Director: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen.

Q&A with filmmaker Efraín Gutiérrez and Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Presented in partnership with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. Funding for this screening is provided by the Hugh M. Hefner Classic American Film Program. Considered the first Chicano feature, Efraín Gutiérrez’s landmark independent film Please, Don’t Bury Me Alive! (¡Por favor, no me entierren vivo!) was believed lost for years until UCLA Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega tracked down the director and relocated elements to the UCLA Film & Television Archive, where collaborative restoration efforts brought the film back to life. Incorporating Chicano forms of popular theater and music, the bilingual film offers a rhythmic, in-depth look at 1970s-era South Texas Chicano culture, as its central character questions his place in a society that undervalues Latinos, so many of whom had been killed in the Vietnam War. A historic, influential hit in regional theaters, the film’s tremendous impact on Chicano cinema was further cemented in 2014, when it was named to the National Film Registry for its historic, cultural, and artistic significance. Today, in a moment when visibility itself can feel precarious, the film’s call to live boldly in defiance of erasure resonates as powerfully as it did 50 years ago. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Join us on Monday, April 13 from 12-1 pm at La Kretz Garden Pavilion for another installment of Botany Brown Bag. Dr. Theresa Ambo will give a talk titled "Moving Beyond Land Acknowledgements." Formal land acknowledgments are an evolving practice designed to recognize local Indigenous Peoples and lands. Despite this uptake, land acknowledgements remain understudied and often misunderstood with regard to purpose, tone, responsibility, significance for educational equity, and implications for the measurable support of local Indigenous communities named in these statements. In the lecture, Dr. Ambo will share about the emergence and adoption of land acknowledgement practices, including her current research on over 400 formal and informal statements from land-grab universities across the United States. She will provide practical recommendations for moving beyond moments of acknowledgement to support tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Make sure to bring your lunch! This event is free and open to the public, no RSVP required. Location: La Kretz Garden Pavilion, 707 Tiverton Drive

Oscar Wilde died in November 1900, exiled in Paris and exhausted by scandal and prison life. The details of his life in the limelight are well known; what has regularly been ignored are the reverberations of the scandal for decades after his death: the challenges his descendants faced, the myths and legends, the quarrels between his friends and enemies, and the court cases. During this special event, Wilde’s only grandson, author and editor Merlin Holland, will speak with Rebecca Fenning Marschall, Manuscripts & Archives Librarian, about his new book, "After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal," which details the remarkable posthumous life of one of the most celebrated literary and cultural figures. With pathos, humor, and his grandfather’s signature wit, Holland charts the extraordinary afterlife of the legendary writer and thinker, tracing the dramatic fluctuations in Wilde’s posthumous reputation and exposing a century of bigotry and hypocrisy within the cultural establishment.
