Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

In person:&nbsp;filmmaker Tacita Dean, historian Laurence KardishInternationally renowned fine artist Tacita Dean presents her rarely screened The Uncles (2004), in which the sons of Ealing Studios icons Basil Dean and Sir Michael Balcon reflect on their fathers’ careers and personal lives in an extended conversation with historian and curator Laurence Kardish.
Filmed and projected in anamorphic 16mm, The Uncles offers an unusual widescreen portrait of two loquacious, charming English gentlemen (Winton Dean and Jonathan Balcon) illuminating the accomplishments, failings, and elusive humanity of their eminent fathers with wit, candor, and understated complexity. Beyond the copious anecdotal nuggets of interest to any fan of classic British cinema, the film also grants intimate access to two men who both admired and struggled to truly know their fathers as... they consider their own youths in pre-war Britain.
In conjunction with this screening and organized by Los Angeles’ Marciano Art Foundation (MAF) director Hanneke Skerath and Mark Toscano, MAF will present the US debut of Dean’s landmark installation, FILM (2011), from September 18, 2026, through January 2, 2027.

Drop-in Workshop for Families: Production Design Miniature Sets

Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) keeps the curtains drawn at all hours of the day in her opulent manor to protect her children, Anne and Nicholas, from crippling photosensitivity. When three travelers appear in search of work, Grace hires them to tend to the home and the children, noting the previous employees “vanished” just days ago. The arrival of the new workers seems to trigger paranormal incidents throughout the home. Set in 1945 Jersey, United Kingdom, this brooding psychological horror highlights the depths of Kidman’s range and Amenábar’s imagination.

This lavish, widescreen musical from director Vincente Minnelli received nine Oscar nominations and won in each of its categories, including Best Picture and Directing. Minnelli’s An American in Paris (1951) discovery Leslie Caron plays Gigi, a young woman in turn-of-the-20th-century Paris who catches the eye of a charming womanizer (Louis Jourdan). The Oscar-winning screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner was based on the 1944 novella by Colette, and Lerner wrote the film’s original songs with his My Fair Lady (1964) composer Frederick Loewe, their score including such classics as “I Remember It Well,” “The Night They Invented Champagne,” and the Oscar-winning title song. Art directors William A. Horning and Preston Ames and set decorators Henry Grace and Keogh Gleason won Oscars for... their eye-poppingly colorful recreation of the City of Light.

Schatze, Pola, and Loco (Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable) are Manhattan models on a mission to marry rich husbands. Although they set their sights on Vanderbilts and Rockefellers, their plans go awry when they become attracted to men who look to be penniless. How to Marry a Millionaire was released at the end of Monroe’s breakout year, having starred in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Niagara in 1953. The film is notable as the first to be completed in CinemaScope, and Monroe had such broad appeal that 20th Century-Fox used her to advertise this new widescreen format: a slogan above an image of Marilyn claimed she was “Big as life and a million times more fun in Cinemascope!”

In person: producer Brad Simpson and Academy Governor Effie T. BrownA suburban housewife discovers her husband has a secret life, only to find herself becoming emotionally involved with another man, in writer-director Todd Haynes’s sincere and expertly crafted homage to the 1950s melodramas of Douglas Sirk. Best Actress nominee Julianne Moore gives a perfectly pitched lead performance, with strong support from Dennis Quaid, Dennis Haysbert, Patricia Clarkson and Viola Davis. The film also received nominations for Haynes’s sensitive screenplay, Edward Lachman’s autumnal cinematography, and the gorgeously old-fashioned score by Elmer Bernstein. One of the film’s producers is Haynes’s longtime collaborator Christine Vachon, one of this year’s Governors Awards winners (with longtime filmmaking partner Pamela Koffler) for her remarkable and groundbreaking career.

<h5>Accessible screening</h5>
On the last Saturday of every month, the museum's Family Matinee is an accessible screening where we offer open captioning, keep the theater dimly lit, and maintain a lower volume for viewers who are neurodiverse.
A popular comedy team of the 1940s and 1950s, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, goes up against Universal Studios' monsters in this zany spoof that inspired several creep-tastic sequels. After Dracula (Bela Lugosi) teams with scientist Dr. Sandra Mornay (Lenore Aubert) to hunt for a more sophisticated brain for Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange), they settle on dim-witted but lovable Wilbur Grey, played by Costello. Thanks in part to memorable appearances by the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), and Vincent Price voicing the Invisible Man, this horror comedy mashup manages... to do justice to both horror and comedy genres―a feat frequently attempted but rarely achieved.

John Box and his Oscar-winning production design team (art director Terence Marsh and set decorator Dario Simoni) built early 20th century Moscow on elaborate sets in Spain as well as created Zhivago’s unforgettable ice palace for this David Lean-directed romantic epic. The resulting adaptation of the novel by Nobel Prize-winner Boris Pasternak became a box office smash. Omar Sharif and Julie Christie lead the all-star cast, with Maurice Jarre’s score (featuring “Lara’s Theme”) receiving one of the film’s five Oscars, which also included Color Cinematography (Freddie Young), Color Costume Design (Phyllis Dalton) and adapted screenplay (Robert Bolt).

Have you received a Notice of Default or Notice of Trustee Sale in Los Angeles County?

Private-money loans are designed for time-sensitive situations in which traditional bank financing may take too long or no longer be available.
<h2>Can a Private-Money Loan Stop Foreclosure?</h2>
Depending on your circumstances, a foreclosure bailout loan may be used to:

Time matters. California&rsquo;s foreclosure process can move quickly after a Notice of Trustee Sale is recorded. Property owners should explore their available options before the auction date approaches.
