Never before have so many films from around the world been so available on so many platforms, while smart, literate writing about film seems less and less valued and harder to find. This special screening of Gerald Peary's documentary For The Love Of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism offers a chance to reflect on where film criticism has been and where it may be going.

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.
