Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer Museum In-person: director Lisa Hurwitz, chef and restaurateur Alice Waters. 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. The Merry Cafe U.S., 1936 Soon after a hungry Krazy Kat enters the “The Eato-mat Restaurant,” inspired by the famous Automat, the place comes alive with singing and dancing food. 16mm, b&w, 7 min. Directors: Manny Gould, Ben Harrison. Screenwriters: Allen Rose, George Herriman. The Automat U.S., 2021 Director Lisa Hurwitz’s documentary on the Automat brims with nostalgia for the fabled restaurant chain founded in 1902 and known for its iconic method of service. A chief booster, Mel Brooks wistfully recalls its famed five-cent cup of coffee and strawberry rhubarb pie, drawn from a behind windowed, coin-operated door. In its heyday, Automats in Philadelphia and New York served over 800,000 people a day but each ornately designed location felt decidedly local. Hurwitz’s extensive interviews make the case that along with fresh-made meals, Automats served up a sense of community, optimism and egalitarianism, qualities lost in our current fast food culture. DCP, color and b&w, 79 min. Director: Lisa Hurwitz. Screenwriter: Michael Levine. With: Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Wouldn’t Make It Any Other Way U.S., 2024 An opportunity to costume design on their home island of Guam for an elementary school play forces Marc to choose: stay on Guam or return to his established life in Iowa City sewing custom dog collars? Wouldn’t Make It Any Other Way is proof that vérité doesn’t always have to take itself so seriously and can delight just as much as it probes. As director, cinematographer and editor of the short, Hao Zhou propels the film with a steady rhythm of quick cuts that create an upbeat, snappy tone and leave little room to fall into the kind of longing and ennui we are primed to expect from a queer subject wrestling with identity and familial belonging. Yet Zhou doesn’t depict a static Guam stuck in some outdated past either; rather, the film presents us with a Pacific island where a banquet table full of Marc’s mostly queer-presenting friends give no hint of being boxed in by living out loud.—Beandrea July DCP, color, 20 min. Director: Hao Zhou. Yentl U.S., 1983 This musical epic tells the story of the titular protagonist Yentl, an only daughter of a rabbi in a small Ashkenazi Jewish village in 1904 Poland who yearns to enter yeshiva and complete religious studies like the young men her age. Barbra Streisand stars and is said to be “the first woman in the history of motion pictures to produce, direct, write and perform a film's title role,” according to the film’s backers. When her father dies, Yentl cuts her hair and assumes a masculine outer presentation and enrolls in a yeshiva where a bright student Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin) befriends her. In Disclosure, Laverne Cox says Yentl was a film that deeply resonated with her. “Here was Yentl, a woman, a girl, who had to pretend to be a boy or a man to become a Rabbi, and falls in love with this guy and wants him to see the woman that she is, but he only sees the man that she is presenting,” said Cox in a June 2020 interview in IndieWire. “And that just felt like me, I was like — ‘that’s me.’ I didn’t have words for it and I didn’t fully understand why, but that’s what it was.”—Beandrea July 35mm, color, 134 min. Director: Barbra Streisand. Screenwriter: Jack Rosenthal, Barbra Streisand. With: Barbra Streisand, Mandy Patinkin, Amy Irving, Nehemiah Persoff, Steven Hill. Location: Billy Wilder Theater
