At the Egyptian Theatre, the Cinematheque presents daily film and video programming which ranges from the classics of American and international cinema to new independent films and digital work. Exhibition of rare works, special and rare prints, etc., combined with fascinating post-screening discussions with the filmmakers who created the work, are a Cinematheque tradition that keep audiences coming back for once-in-a-lifetime cinema experiences.
SANSÓN AND ME is the new film by Mexican director Rodrigo Reyes. A portrait of a young immigrant in prison that is both narratively inventive and deeply personal. I’ll be moderating a Q&A with Reyes tonight for the @am_cinematheque at Los Feliz 3. Info: https://bit.ly/3TEaKVf
