UCLA Student Films: 1960s–1970s

  • This is a past program

The UCLA Film & Television Archive presents classic film and contemporary cinema in the Hammer's Billy Wilder Theater.

Part of the series 40 Years of UCLA Student Filmmaking. In addition to the screenings at the Hammer, more student films are available on the Archive's YouTube channel.

Popular culture, manifested in rock music and movies, increasingly became a subject for student filmmakers wishing to create an ironic distance between themselves and the work of the entertainment industry. The counterculture embraced outsiders who were victims of social norms, and also sought alternative lifestyles that eschewed the norms of mainstream society.
