Hammer Forum is made possible by the Rosenbloom Family Co-presented with the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA Law With rulings on major issues expected by the start of summer 2025, the United States Supreme Court is once again at the center of key legal and policy debates. An all-star panel of legal scholars analyzes the meaning and implications of the latest Supreme Court cases, including Trump v. Wilcox on the power of the President to control personnel and policy at independent federal agencies, Louisiana v. Callais on racial gerrymandering and the Voting Rights Act, United States v. Skrmetti on denial of gender-affirming medical care for minors, as well as a trio of cases on religion in public schools under the First Amendment. The panelists will also consider the implications of these rulings on the role of the courts in response to the Trump Administration’s broad assertion of executive power including cases focused on President Trump’s immigration policy and the Alien Enemies Act.

Razing Liberty Square / Moonlight

Time Fri 7/18 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Q&A in-between films with “Moonlight” co-writer Tarell Alvin McCraney and “Razing Liberty Square” director Katja Esson. 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. Razing Liberty Square U.S., 2023 As rising seas threaten Miami’s coast, developers turn inland to Liberty Square — a historically Black neighborhood and the South’s first segregated public housing — sitting 12 feet above sea level. Set where Moonlight was filmed, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Katja Esson’s “exposé of cynical impulses and failed promises” (Chicago Tribune) captures the six-year fight of residents battling displacement under a $300 million city “revitalization” plan. The film offers a timely warning and tribute to those refusing to bend to climate gentrification.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 83 min. Director: Katja Esson. Moonlight U.S., 2016 Set in Miami’s Liberty City, Moonlight was adapted from Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play about growing up Black and gay in a neighborhood marked by hardship and care. Also raised in Liberty City, filmmaker Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-winning film captures Chiron’s quiet, aching journey to selfhood across three chapters. Moonlight honors Miami’s textures and contradictions — its emotional power inseparable from Liberty City’s geography — and now stands as a vital record of this historic community now reshaped by climate gentrification and displacement.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 111 min. Director: Barry Jenkins. Screenwriters: Tarell Alvin McCraney, Barry Jenkins. With: Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes, André Holland, Janelle Monáe, Naomie Harris.

POSTPONED: Archive Talks: I May Destroy You: On Women and Anger

Time Sat 7/19 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Updated June 6: Please note that this screening will no longer take place on July 19 and will be rescheduled. To receive updates, please sign up for our email newsletter at https://cinema.ucla.edu/signup. ---------- Part of: Archive Talks Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Professor Kathleen McHugh, Department of English and the Department of Film, Television and Digital Media. 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. Post-#MeToo, films and television shows — many written and directed by women — have redefined female anger not as sickness or evil, but as, in the words of Audre Lorde, “a source of information and energy” that has the potential to access “the living contexts of other women.” Professor Kathleen McHugh’s latest research on women and anger explores the topic through Michaela Coel’s groundbreaking series I May Destroy You, which, McHugh argues, channels Coel’s anger as both trauma response and creative force. The result: a bold, complex portrait of survival, consent and artistic self-possession. Professor McHugh will give a brief talk, followed by a screening and on-stage conversation. I May Destroy You U.K., 2020 Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a radical, genre-defying exploration of trauma, consent and creative survival in the post-#MeToo era. Inspired by Coel’s own experience of assault, the series follows Arabella, a rising writer whose rape during a night out shatters her sense of reality. In Episode 1, Arabella vanishes into the night, only to wake with no memory and a wound on her forehead. Episode 9 explores how her growing online presence alienates those closest to her. The finale imagines alternate confrontations with her rapist before Arabella ultimately reclaims her narrative. Formally daring and emotionally fearless, Coel’s series resists tidy resolutions, instead offering a bold meditation on self-preservation and the messy, nonlinear work of healing.—Public Programmer Beandrea July Episode 1: “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” Digital video, color, 30 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Marouane Zotti, Stephen Wight. Episode 9: “Social Media Is a Great Way to Connect” Digital video, color, 32 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Stephen Wight. Episode 12: “Ego Death” Digital video, color, 34 min. Max. Directors: Michaela Coel, Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Lewis Reeves.

Updated June 6: Please note that this screening will no longer take place on July 20 and has been rescheduled to July 19. ---------- Part of: (Dis)placement: Fluctuations of Home Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive 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. Measures of Distance U.K., 1988 In Measures of Distance, Mona Hatoum weaves letters from her mother in war-torn Beirut with layered images and voice, exploring exile, intimacy and the ruptures of forced separation. Born to Palestinian parents in Lebanon, Hatoum became an exile herself when civil war broke out during a visit to London. This tender, formally complex video challenges stereotypes of Arab womanhood while tracing fluctuating definitions of home — shaped by memory, longing and the distances that characterize displacement.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 15 min. Director: Mona Hatoum. Bye Bye Tiberias France/Palestine/Belgium/Qatar, 2023 Through present-day footage and family VHS archives, filmmaker Lina Soualem paints a lyrical, deeply personal portrait of four generations of women shaped by exile and longing. Soualem returns with her mother, actor Hiam Abbass (Succession), to their Palestinian village, where Abbass once took her swimming in Lake Tiberias “as if to bathe me in her story.” The film captures how its Arab women subjects carry history within them, even as the meaning of home constantly shifts beneath their feet.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 82 min. Director: Lina Soualem. Screenwriters: Lina Soualem, Nadine Naous, Gladys Joujou. With: Hiam Abbass, Um Ali, Nemat Abbass.

James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket

Time Fri 7/25 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Part of: The Devil Finds Work: James Baldwin’s Cinema of the Mind Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive In-person: Live dramatic reading of an excerpt of "The Devil Finds Work." 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. I Am Not Your Negro (excerpt) U.S., 2017 This bold, poetic visual essay channels James Baldwin’s final book proposal, Remember This House, and draws from The Devil Finds Work to examine how cinema shapes racial consciousness. Narrator Samuel L. Jackson voice-acts as Baldwin, molding his reflections on Hollywood and his friendships with civil rights movement martyrs — Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X — into a “life-altering” film (New York Times). It remains a timeless portrait of Baldwin’s enduring clarity, rage and moral vision on race and representation in America. DCP, b&w, color. Director: Raoul Peck. Screenwriters: James Baldwin, Raoul Peck. With: Samuel L. Jackson, James Baldwin. 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (excerpt) U.S., 1932 This pre-Code prison drama, based on Warden Lewis Lawes’ memoir, follows a prisoner (Spencer Tracy) who finds dignity behind bars and comfort in his girlfriend’s embrace (Bette Davis). Shot at the actual Sing Sing prison, it blends realism with melodrama to critique the penal system. Marked by his father’s cruelty as a boy — “the ugliest boy he had ever seen” — Baldwin found validation in Davis’ “pop-eyes popping” and recalled this as the first film that “shook” him. DCP, b&w. Director: Michael Curtiz. Screenwriters: Wilson Mizner, Brown Holmes. With: Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, Louis Calhern. You Only Live Once (excerpt) U.S., 1937 Fritz Lang’s noir-tinged crime romance stars Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney as doomed lovers caught in a cruel cycle of fate and injustice. Mixing German Expressionism with American fatalism, Lang’s film critiques the criminal justice system and the myth of second chances. For Baldwin, this was a foundational viewing — one that mapped his early cinematic imagination with themes of persecution, identity and moral ambiguity that would echo throughout his later writings. DCP, b&w. Director: Fritz Lang. Screenwriters: Gene Towne, Charles Graham Baker. With: Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Barton MacLane. My Son John (excerpt) U.S. 1952 This Cold War melodrama follows a devout Catholic couple who come to suspect their intellectual son is a Communist spy. As political paranoia fractures the family, Helen Hayes delivers a haunting performance as a mother torn between faith, patriotism, and maternal love. The film left a deep impression on James Baldwin — he writes, “And I will never forget it” — who recalled seeing it during a time of profound personal isolation. DCP, b&w. Director: Leo McCarey. Screenwriters: Leo McCarey, John Lee Mahin. With: Helen Hayes, Robert Walker, Dean Jagger. James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket U.S., 1985 This documentary captures the mind, voice and presence of one of America’s most vital writers. Beginning and ending with his funeral, the film traces James Baldwin’s journey from a turbulent Harlem childhood — brought to life through striking re-enactments — to his years abroad in France, Turkey and Switzerland. Blending interviews, archival footage and Baldwin’s electrifying oratory, it offers more than biography: it’s a visceral encounter with a singular intellectual and moral force. Restored from the original 16mm negatives. DCP, b&w, color, 87 min. Director: Karen Thorsen. Screenwriters: Karen Thorsen, Douglas K. Dempsey. With: James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, David Baldwin, William Styron.

Space Age TV Rarity: William Shatner Starring In "The Night of the Auk"

Time Sat 7/26 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Part of: Archive Television Treasures Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment 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. Several years before William Shatner first took the conn of the U.S.S. Enterprise on Star Trek, the beloved icon starred as a space crew leader in Arch Obler's television adaptation of his Broadway play “The Night of the Auk.” Obler's apocalyptic tale concerns the fateful actions of an extremely wealthy, egotistical industrialist (played by William Shatner) who finances a pioneering space flight for the U.S. government. As a member of the historic space crew, the industrialist’s malignant narcissism emerges under the allure of the media spotlight, triggering an escalating cascade of horrific events. The claustrophobic videotaped production, set entirely on the bridge of a spacecraft, provides a master showcase for Shatner, foreshadowing the trademark acting style he would soon perfect in the role of his lifetime as Captain James T. Kirk. Based on his drama “Rocket From Manhattan,” produced for the radio program Lights Out in 1945, Obler’s artful teleplay for “Night of the Auk” poetically examines the existential dangers of the space age amidst the backdrop of nuclear proliferation that defined the Cold War. Viewed 65 years after its original broadcast, this rare Play of the Week production proves eerily prescient, serving as a grim cautionary tale warning of the undue privilege, power and attention bestowed upon the ultra-wealthy, regardless of deficits of character. —John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley Play of the Week: “Night of the Auk” U.S., 5/2/1960 DCP, b&w, 120 min. Syndicated. Production: National Television Associates. Executive Producer: Worthington Miner. Producer: Lewis Freedman. Directors: Nikos Psacharopoulos, Mel London. Writer: Arch Oboler. With: William Shatner, Shepperd Strudwick, James MacArthur.

A Tale of Two Cities U.S., 1936 In this sweeping 1935 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel of the same name, Ronald Colman stars as Sydney Carton, a disillusioned lawyer who makes a redemptive sacrifice during the French Revolution. James Baldwin read the novel numerous times before his teacher Bill Miller took him to see the film. He was haunted by its final scene, an image he would carry with him for life.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, b&w, 123 min. Director: Jack Conway. Screenwriters: W. P. Lipscomb, S. N. Behrman.

Billy Wilder Theater

Part of: Robert Altman’s America: A Centennial Review Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive 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. Nashville U.S., 1975 Robert Altman had never been to Nashville when he asked screenwriter Joan Tewkesbury (Thieves Like Us) to go there and keep a travel diary as the basis for a “panorama which reflected America and its politics.” The masterful mashup that emerged from Tewkesbury’s experiences, deft on set improvisation and Altman’s feel for the times captures the moment when America’s political and celebrity cultures began to merge. The hustle for fame and votes run parallel across a homespun tapestry of stories that culminate in a (still) shocking act of violence. Spared from the satire peppered throughout, however, is an artistry unadorned and sincere, its fleeting beauty exemplified when Ronee Blakley sings.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, color, 160 min. Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriter: Joan Tewkesbury. With: Ronee Blakley, Henry Gibson, Lily Tomlin.
