Film about other films...

Filmmaker and Professor at Cal Arts Thom Andersen has made a documentary about the way his home town, Los Angeles, is portrayed in the movies, in the process using hundreds of clips of Hollywood's efforts, good, bad and indifferent, from film noir to comedy to science fiction. It's a fascinating exercise, whether you like Los Angeles or movies or architecture in general. Los Angeles Plays Itself will be screened at Yerba Buena Center Friday, June 4 at 7. Details here.
