Wallace Berman Film Event at the Billy Wilder Theater on August 25, 2007



About a year ago I found some film footage underneath my studio table
– and alas it was a great find! I sent the footage to The Anthology
Film Archives in New York – and presto! What we have is "Artifactual:
Films from the Wallace Berman Collection."




U.C.L.A. Film & Television Archive will be screening "Artifactual" as
well as my Dad's film masterpiece "Aleph" on Saturday August 25th at
the Billy Wilder Theater in the Hammer Museum in Westwood Los Angeles.
The screening is set for 7:30 PM

The address is:

10899 Wilshire Blvd
at Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024




Yours truly (Tosh Berman) will give an introduction to the films as
well as a little bit of Q&A with the audience. Also Book Soup has
arranged to have "Wallace Berman Photographs" (Edited by Kristine
McKenna and Lorraine Wild) and "Semina Culture: Wallace Berman and His
Circle" (Edited by Kristine McKenna and Michael Duncan) on sale at the
lobby of the Billy Wilder Theater before, during and after the
screening.

For further information regarding the screening and purchasing tickets
online check out http://www.cinema.ucla.edu/

Also I will have detailed information about "Artifactual" on my blog
website shortly. The address there is:

Amazing. I'm very happy to see "Aleph" on the Treasure of American Film Archive #4 DVD that was just released. Are there any plans to show more of your father's footage/films...or to release them. I'd love to know. By the way, I think all of your father's work is quite incredible. Thank you.
