UCLA Film & TV Archive Series: Shoot on Site

Please note tickets must be purchased for all Film & TV events. Tickets are available online at www.cinema.ucla.edu and in person at the Billy Wilder Theater box office.

Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer, this eclectic series of films uses pre-existing private and public built environments as spaces of dread, liberation, alienation, or salvation, in concert or in conflict with the architect’s original vision.

LES MYSTÈRES DU CHÂTEAU DE DÉ, 1929
