Happy New Year! Enjoy the Beginning of 2018 by Seeing All the Shortlisted Foreign Language Oscar Nominees on the Big Screen.

January 2, 2018 by Lamb Laemmle 3 Comments

Happy New Year! Enjoy the Beginning of 2018 by Seeing All the Shortlisted Foreign Language Oscar Nominees on the Big Screen.

This year intrepid moviegoers will have a chance to see every one of the shortlisted foreign films in theaters. The Academy received submissions from around the world, 92 nations in all, and has whittled them down to these lucky nine. (Anne Thompson of Indiewire has a good breakdown about the snubs and surprises here.)

We open the Hungarian drama ON BODY AND SOUL this Friday at the Music Hall. We’ve been playing the hit Swedish comedy THE SQUARE since November. We have Fatih Akin’s IN THE FADE (Germany), starring a fierce Diane Kruger, right now at the Royal and starting Friday at the Playhouse and Town Center. (We’ll also host Mr. Akin in person for a Q&A at the Royal this Friday.) The following weekend we’ll open THE INSULT (Lebanon), and bring back FELICITE (Senegal) and THE WOUND (South Africa). We’ll have Russia’s LOVELESS in February and Israel’s FOXTROT in early March. We don’t yet have FANTASTIC WOMAN (Chile) dated but most likely will soon. Travel the world via movie theater seat. Much more affordable than the airlines, and better leg room!

Q&A with Former Vice President Al Gore and Filmmakers After a Screening of AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL on Sunday, January 7th in Beverly Hills

December 21, 2017 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

Q&A with Former Vice President Al Gore and Filmmakers After a Screening of AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL on Sunday, January 7th in Beverly HillsOscar-shortlisted doc AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, producer Richard Berge, and Former Vice President Al Gore will participate in a Q&A at the Fine Arts after the 5PM screening on Sunday, January 7. Jenelle Riley of Variety will moderate. Click here for tickets.

About the film:
A decade after AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH brought the climate crisis into the heart of popular culture, comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Former Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight, traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes – in moments both private and public, funny and poignant — as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.

Ai Weiwei In Person with his Oscar-shortlisted Doc HUMAN FLOW on Saturday, January 6th in West LA

Artist, activist, and filmmaker Ai Weiwei will participate in a Q&A at the Royal theater in West LA after a special screening of his Oscar-shortlisted documentary HUMAN FLOW at 10AM on Saturday, January 6th. Ella Taylor of NPR will moderate. Click here for tickets.

About the film:

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.

Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and Turkey.
