Screenings
UCLA Student Films: 1970s–1980s
- 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.
This period brought the advent of video technology, shaping students’ work in both access and style. By the late-1970s and into the 1980s many of these films could be seen on The View, an hour-long student-produced program from the school’s Motion Picture & Television Division, presented on Theta Cable’s public access channel.
