Shoot on Site: Architecture in Film
Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer, this eclectic series of films uses pre-existing private and public built environments as spaces of dread, liberation, alienation, or salvation, in concert or in conflict with the architect’s original vision.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 7PM
FIVE, 1951
Shot at the director’s own retreat, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, five survivors converge on the isolated wood and rubblestone structure perched atop a peak in the Santa Monica Mountains. Wright’s organic architecture serves as the last bastion for a new civilization.
DIR: Arch Oboler | 35mm, 93 min

THE TRIAL, 1963
Filmed entirely in Paris’s abandoned Gare d’Orsay, this film utilizes practically every corner of the station to visualize a bureaucratic legal nightmare that, according to Welles, is “the kind of sorrow that only accumulates in a railway station.”
DIR: Orson Welles | 35mm, 118 min
