Fact + Fiction: Through the Camera of the 20th Century

The Getty Museum and the UCLA Film and Television Archive present eight evenings of film. The series explores the interaction between photography and film from 1900 to the present. Beginning with early motion pictures and ending with contemporary artists, the series pairs one or more documentary films relating to the art of photography with a narrative film that shares artistic or social content.

All films will be presented in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted. Silent films will have an accompanist. All films are free but require seating reservations.
