Luís Buñuel’s The Milky Way follows two pilgrims en route to the shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, in Spain. Despite the setting in politically tumultuous 1969, no one they encounter mentions politics, only religion. Making outrageous leaps across space and time—Albigensian heretics perform secret rites; the pope is assassinated by a group of radicals; in a domestic scene, Mary compliments Jesus on his beard—the film is a provocative turn to theology, produced at a time when filmmaking ... ]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 19:30:00 -0700 http://hammer.ucla.edu/programs/detail/program_id/1616 http://hammer.ucla.edu/programs/detail/program_id/1616 Lunchtime Art Talks Lunchtime Art Talks

Neil Beloufa’s films focus on the slippery line between fiction and reality. He sets up situations in which both amateurs and professional actors explore enigmatic subjects ranging from extraterrestrials to nationalism, terrorism, and the future. During his Hammer residency in 2012, Beloufa produced a new film exploring the iconography of the red bandana. Disparate political movements and subcultures—including gangsters, hippies, rock stars, cowboys, and anarchists—have long adopted the red bandana as... ]]> Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:00 -0700 http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/detail/exhibition_id/230 http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/detail/exhibition_id/230 Exhibitions Exhibitions
