The UCLA Film & Television Archive's Exhibition & Public Programs have a new home in the state-of-the-art Billy Wilder Theater. Made possible by a generous gift from Audrey L. Wilder, the theater is named in honor of Mrs. Wilder's late husband, the legendary screenwriter and director of such classics of the American cinema as Double Indemnity (1944), The Lost Weekend (1945), Sunset Boulevard (1950), Ace in the Hole (1951), Sabrina (1954), The Seven Year Itch (1955), Some Like It Hot (1959) and The Apartment (1960).

The Billy Wilder Theater joins an exclusive group of theaters in the U.S. capable of screening all major film and video formats-from variable speed silent films and nitrate prints to the latest digital cinema. The theater is located on the courtyard level of the Hammer Museum in the Westwood area of Los Angeles.
