In conjunction with its exhibition “Fellini’s Book of Dreams” &#8212; which is definitely worth a visit &#8212; the  Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present a special  screening of Federico Fellini’s Academy Award-winning 1963 extravaganza 8½ on Friday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m.  at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The evening will be hosted by Robert Rosen, dean of  the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.
There have been homages and imitations ever since (Bob Fosse&#8217;s All That Jazz comes to mind), but no self-analytical film that I&#8217;ve seen gets even close to what Fellini accomplished in 8½, while very few films about the art of moviemaking have been nearly as artful [...]]]></description>

  RUTHLESS  (top photo)
  (1948, Edgar G. Ulmer) 
  Director Edward G. Ulmer’s complex  psycho-melodrama Ruthless (1948) is  undoubtedly worthy of rediscovery.  A  flashback-structured tale of a sociopath’s remorseless drive for station and  wealth, Ruthless (often referred to  as Ulmer’s Citizen Kane) employs a  relentless undercurrent of emotional violence.   As relayed in an interview with Peter Bogdanovich, Ulmer envisioned his  feature as “a Jesuitic morality play… a very bad indictment against 100 percent  Americanism—as Upton Sinclair saw it.”  [...]]]></description>

  A WOMAN UNDER THE  INFLUENCE
  (1974, John Cassavetes)
  Over  30 years after its self-distributed release, screenwriter-director John  Cassavetes’ masterpiece retains the  power to shock and unnerve for its raw, often harrowing depiction of a  blue-collar Los Angeles family on the rocks.   At its trembling heart, Gena Rowlands’ performance as Mabel Longhetti,  wife of everyman Nick (Peter Falk) and mother of three, stands as a virtually unmatched  tour [...]]]></description>

The UCLA Film &#38; Television Archives&#8216; 2009 UCLA Festival of Preservation, which kicks off this evening and continues until April 26, leaves me at a loss. The problem is: I don&#8217;t know what not to recommend. (See full schedule below.)
Now, it&#8217;s not that I think  every single one of the listed films are  waiting-to-be-rediscovered masterpieces &#8212; or even that they&#8217;re mostly enjoyable fare. What makes me so excited about the Festival of Preservation is that it features  films that for the most part are incredibly rare, thus offering audiences a unique chance to either get to know (or to get reacquainted with) our cinematic past.
Here&#8217;s some of what&#8217;s in store for you if you live in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;Late Hawks&#34; is the title of a film series featuring the, what else?, later works of Hollywood auteur Howard Hawks, which runs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from March 13-27.
Personally, I tend not to buy into  the auteur theory in general, and certainly not when it comes to the widely varied work of Howard Hawks. That said, who cares?
 The good thing about LACMA&#8217;s Hawks series is the chance to catch on the big screen some of the director&#8217;s lesser-known efforts such as the battle-of-the-sexes comedy Man&#8217;s Favorite Sport? (1965), with Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss; the car-racing soap opera Red Line 7000 (1965), with James Caan; and the Western Rio Lobo (1970), with John Wayne. [...]]]></description>

Rare screenings of the Douglas Fairbanks adventure classics The Thief of Bagdad (1924) and The Iron Mask (1929) will be  presented  on Friday, March 20, and Monday, March 23,  respectively, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’  Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.  Both screenings will start at 7:30 pm. Silent  film historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow will be a guest  presenter at both events.
In the enjoyable The Thief of Bagdad  (1924), directed by Raoul Walsh, Fairbanks plays a (mostly bare-chested) thief who falls in love with the Caliph of  Bagdad’s daughter (Julanne Johnston, in her most important film role). There&#8217;s just one glitch: in order  to win [...]]]></description>

Part II of the  27th annual &#34;Contemporary Documentaries&#34; screening series, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, kicks off   with  two Academy Award-nominated documentaries, James Longley&#8217;s short Sari’s Mother and Michael Moore&#8217;s controversial feature Sicko, on Wednesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. at the  Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood. Admission to all screenings in the  series is free. 
Sari’s Mother chronicles an Iraqi woman’s struggle to help her  10-year-old son, Sari, who is dying of AIDS.
Directed by Michael Moore and  produced by Moore and Meghan O’Hara, Sicko is an indictment against  the ailing U.S.  health care system, through which huge corporations get richer at the expense of [...]]]></description>

Mike Hale interviews Jan Troell in the New York Times:
&#34;At the age of 77 the Swedish director Jan Troell ­ after a four-decade career that includes a best picture prize at the Berlin Film Festival, a Golden Palm nomination at Cannes and a best picture Oscar nomination ­ is among the world’s most distinguished filmmakers. He is also practically invisible in the United States.
&#34;Only two of his films, the well-regarded 1996 Hamsun, about the Norwegian novelist Knut Hamsun, and Hurricane, a misfire from his brief sojourn in Hollywood in the late 1970s, are available here on DVD. His masterpieces ­ The Emigrants, The New Land, The Flight of the Eagle ­ have not been in print since the days of [...]]]></description>

PRESS RELEASE
Robert Todd’s Cinema of Discovery 
  Mon March 30 &#124; 8:30 pm
Robert Todd’s lyrical films demonstrate both a masterful command of the  medium and an openness to chance. Painting, musical form and poetry  infuse these short films. Of his latest work he writes, “These films  offer a series of celebratory explorations, and, in some cases,  transformations, of varied components of my life. To me, this set of  works is an odd blend of performance and alchemical construction,  freedom and control, a highly crafted and rather baroque diary.”  Featured in this program are Dig, 21 Alleys, Riverbed, Interplay, Office Suite, Passing, and Rose.
In person: Robert Todd

The American Cinematheque will present a memorial tribute to writer Donald E. Westlake, who died last December, with a  screening of two films based on his novels, The Hot Rock and Cops and Robbers, on Thursday, March 12, at 7:30 pm at the  Aero Theatre in Santa Monica.
I haven&#8217;t seen Cops and Robbers, but I remember finding the caper comedy The Hot Rock quite enjoyable. Directed by Peter Yates from an Academy Award-nominated screenplay by William Goldman, The Hot Rock stars  Robert Redford and George Segal as jewel thieves attempting &#8212; and generally failing at &#8212; the perfect heist.

Of the two  Van Johnson films screening at the Aero, I&#8217;ve only seen The Caine Mutiny (top photo, with Johnson, Robert Francis, and Fred MacMurray), directed by Edward Dmytryk, one of  the Hollywood Ten and the only one in that group who was able to resume his career after performing a radical turnabout and denouncing  his colleagues to the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne will be in Los Angeles to introduce a special screening of Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s 1963 classic The Birds at the ArcLight on Feb. 18 at 7:30 pm. The object of the birds&#8217; murderous desire, Tippi Hedren, will also be present. No word on Rod Taylor, though it would be cool if he showed up as well.
