ground floor, Expo Guadalajara
Homage to Ray Bradbury
Between Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian
Chronicles, this longtime Angeleno has
coded L.A. as a town unwelcoming to
pedestrians, wary of readers, throttled by
metastasizing suburbs, yet somehow still
hospitable to wonderment.
Monday, November 30 / 17:00 hrs.
Salón 1
ground floor, Expo Guadalajara
The New L.A. Surrealists
As Spike Jones Jr. said of his father, the
gleefully anarchic Angeleno bandleader,
“One of the things that people don’t realize
about Dad’s kind of music is, when you
replace a C-sharp with a gunshot, it has to
be a C-sharp gunshot or it sounds awful.”
In recent years, L.A. has nurtured a varied
yet identifiable school of such dreamy
sharpshooters, purveyors of landscapes
adjacent to our world yet never quite
mistakable for it.
Monday, November 30 / 18:30-19:20 hrs.
Everything But the Story…: Creative
Non-fiction in L.A.
Californians have been breaking or, better
yet, ignoring the rules of seemly journalism
since the heyday of Carey McWilliams, and
before him Mark Twain.
Tuesday, December 1 / 17:30-18:20 hrs.
The Short Story: L.A. in a Shot Glass
Despite Hollywood’s insinuation that even
published novels are only unofficial first
drafts of screenplays, a dedicated cohort
of writers has kept an even less marketable
form—the L.A. short story—alive and
thriving.
They’re From Where?: L.A.-Bred
Writers Who Live Everywhere But
in L.A.
It’s a truism by now that even a native
Angeleno has to immigrate to appreciate
the place—to leave town, miss it and come
back, shamefaced. Still others may never
move back, but find the city stealthily
infiltrating their work anyway, as all the
while they wonder why a white Christmas
just feels so wrong.
Wednesday, December 2 / 17:30-18:20 hrs.
They Live Where?: International
Writers in L.A.
From Thomas Mann, Christopher
Isherwood, and even the young Octavio
Paz to today’s many refugees and
expatriates, Los Angeles has long harbored
a robust community of exiles from
everywhere
Down These Mean Streets: L.A.
Crime Writing
Writing crime fiction in Southern California
is like writing for the theater in Stratfordupon-Avon. After James M. Cain,
Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald,
what’s left? Actually, plenty.
Thursday, December 3 / 17:30-18:20 hrs.
Science Fiction: L.A. is Another Planet
From its early days as home to Ray
Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Leigh
Brackett, Forrest Ackerman, and even
L. Ron Hubbard, L.A. has played host
to—and often figures in as an ill-fated
character—a healthy tradition of fantasy
and speculative fiction.
Thursday, December 3 / 18:30-19:20 hrs.
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: L.A.
Non-Fiction
The sheer improbability of Los Angeles
makes reporting and commenting on
it at once challenging, irresistible, and
necessary. Carey McWilliams showed the
way, but in a city so ever-changing, their
inheritors know the job is never done.
Friday, December 4 / 17:30-18:20 hrs.
The Overshot City: L.A. NovelistsFilmmakers
Almost a hundred years after the movies
first discovered it, “Los Angeles as you’ve
never seen it before” may be the biggest
cliché of all. Nevertheless, intrepid writers
of page and screen persist in trying to find
a new angle on the place, and sometimes
the best of them even succeed.
The Next Angelenos: Emerging L.A.
Writers
As David L. Ulin has observed,
Los Angeles “has become less a place
people go to than one they come from.”
What do the newest writers from Southern
California have to tell us? Ironically, if the
past is any indication, it will be something
we’ve never heard before.
Saturday, December 5 / 17:30-18:20 hrs.
An Overdeveloped Sense of Place:
L.A. Novelists
If the city of Los Angeles resembles any
one literary form, it’s the novel. Too big to
take in all at once, too layered ever to get to
the bottom of, L.A. and its great unwritten
novels circle each other warily, secure in
the knowledge that no book ever nails L.A.
for more than un ratito—whereupon the city
twirls its cape and becomes someplace
else.
Saturday, December 5 / 18:30-19:20
Salón Agustín Yañez
second floor, Expo Guadalajara
Close-Up: L.A. Confidential
In an informal conversation about L.A.
Confidential, director/co-writer Curtis
Hanson and interviewer David Kipen
discuss the creative process of taking
James Ellroy’s novel from page to screen.
Monday, November 30 / 20:00-20:50 hrs.
The Heartbeat of the City: L.A. Poetry
Writing poetry in Los Angeles is like playing
Scrabble in Las Vegas. Supposedly
nobody else is doing it, so everyone you
meet who does, seems like a miracle.
Every L.A. poet feels like the exception that
proves the rule, until you collect so many
talented exceptions that the rules no longer
apply.
The Two-Way Mirror: How MexicanAmericans View Mexico,
and Vice Versa
Hyphenated Americans traditionally view
“the old country” as a motherland to sing
sentimental songs to, a fatherland to define
yourself against, or an uneasy combination
of the two. What do Americans of Mexican
descent see when they look back across
the border, especially from Los Angeles?
And what does Mexico see when it looks
back at them?
What Makes an L.A. Writer?
Is it enough to live there? Or must one
write about the place? Does an L.A.
writer have to be born there—or does that
disqualify you?
Café literario
Los Angeles Pavilion
In addition to literary panels with
Los Angeles writers, the FIL offers a series
of opportunities to hear from the authors
in a more informal setting. These “Cafés
Literarios” take the form of homages
to bygone touchstones of Los Angeles
art and literature, such as photographer
Julius Shulman or poet Charles Bukowski;
arresting collisions of sensibility, such as
those of Angeleno Englishmen Richard
Rayner and Geoff Nicholson, and in-depth
conversations with the likes of Jane Smiley
and Cheech Marin. A panel is a panoramic
drive across town; a Café Literario, a
freewheeling ramble into the hills.

Wayne Sorter Quartet
Born in Newark, New Jersey on August
25, 1933, Shorter had his first great jazz

greats Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton
played at the local theater. Shorter has
worked with such greats as Horace Silver,
Herbie Hancock, and John Coltrane.
Wayne Shorter received a Grammy Award
for his 2003 album, Alegria and is an NEA
Jazz Master, the United States’ highest
honor presented to jazz musicians.
Saturday, November 28
Ozomatli
In the 13 years they have been together, the
members of Ozomatli have gone from being
hometown heroes to being named U.S.
State Department Cultural Ambassadors.
Their music is a wonderful combination of
urban-Latino, hip hop, salsa, East L.A. R&B,
dancehall and cumbia, samba and funk,
merengue and comparsa, New Orleans
second line, Jamaican reggae, and Indian
raga. Their musical mantra is: “We will take
you around the world by taking you around L.A.”
Sunday, November 29
Diavolo Dance Company
Diavolo presents an evening of avant
garde dance-theater involving sculptural
objects. Diavolo was founded to create
large-scale interdisciplinary performances

ways people act with an environment
utilizing surrealistic, sometime outrageous,
sets or props. Diavolo’s founder and chief
choreographer is Jacques Heim who has
worked with Cirque de Soleil.
Monday, November 30
Lula Washington Dance Theatre
Grand Performances presents Lula
Washington Dance Theatre (LWDT). LWDT
is a multi-member dance group, well-known
for their spirited contemporary dance
pieces, ranging from the humoristic to the
political. Founded in 1980 by respected
choreographer Lula Washington, the theatre
based in South Central Los Angeles has
risen to become one of the most admired
African-American dance companies in the
Western United States.
Tuesday, December 1
Phil Ranelin Jazz Ensemble

Thursday, December 3
Cultural Crossroads: World Music
with Jessica Fichot, Niyaz, and
Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca
Fichot is a chanteuse, songwriter, and multiinstrumentalist that draws from her French,
Chinese, and American upbringing. Niyaz
is the brainchild of three musicians mixing
old and new music styles featuring lyrics
drawn from Sufi mystics, Persian poetry,
and classic poetry sung in Urdu. The trio is
comprised of DJ Carmen Rizzo, hammered
dulcimer player Azam Ali and vocalist Loga
Ramin Torkian. Lemvo’s innovative music
combines Latin and African elements
from salsa to soukous. A Congo-born
artist of Angolan ancestry, Lemvo is the
embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora
which connects Africa with Cuban clave
rhythm singing in English, French, Spanish,
Portuguese, Kikongo, and other languages.
Friday, December 4
Los Lobos
Los Lobos is a seminal Los Angeles band
founded in East Los Angeles in 1973 that
has evolved into one of the most respected
Latin rock bands in the nation. Using
musical modes built on their MexicanAmerican heritage and the blues, rockabilly,
and jazz, Los Lobos subtly challenges their
audiences with conscience raising songs
and thought-provoking lyrics.
Saturday, December 5
Poncho Sanchez
Poncho Sanchez is a story-teller and a
leader of one of the most popular Latin jazz
groups in the world today. His congas spin
vivacious tales that pay homage to the glory
of Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with bebop.
In 2000, his ensemble won the Grammy
Award for Best Latin Jazz Album.

Thursday, December 3 / 21:00 hrs.

Lords of Dogtown
Before delving into the world of baseballplaying vampires, director Catherine
Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen) chronicled the
adventures of real life teenage boys and the
birth of skateboard culture in 1970s Venice
Beach (the aforementioned “Dogtown”).
Lords of Dogtown is a traditional ragsto-riches-to-longing-for-what-got-leftbehind-in-the-rags tale that could happen
anywhere, barring the fact that it could
only have happened in a place like Venice
Beach.
Sunset Boulevard
Out-of-work screenwriter Joe Gillis
(William Holden), is on the run from repo
men who are after his Plymouth convertible.
Desperate to avoid the horror of being carless in L.A., Gillis ducks into the driveway
of an apparently abandoned mansion off
of the legendary Sunset Boulevard. Aided
by a cast of film legends including Gloria
Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Cecil B.
DeMille, and cameos from Hedda Hooper
and Buster Keaton, Billy Wilder and writerproducer’s Charles Bracket’s brilliant,
acerbic, Sunset Boulevard remains one of
the standout satires about the Hollywood
film industry.
Sunday, December 6 / 20:45 hrs.
Blade Runner
Director Ridley Scott’s seminal science
fiction-noir creates a vision of a future
Los Angeles as tangible and compelling as
any cinematic document of the city’s true
life, contemporary counterpart. Based on
Philip K. Dick’s dark novel, the film follows
gumshoe/android hunter Rick Deckard
(Harrison Ford) as he tracks down a group
of robots who have escaped slavery on an
off-world colony.
Devil in a Blue Dress
Denzel Washington gives one of the most
memorable performances of his career as
Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins, a WWII vet who’s
run out of employment options after being
laid off from his factory job. Determined
to keep up his mortgage payments, Easy
accepts an offer to track down a glamorous
white socialite, Daphne Monet (Jennifer
Beals) who’s been slumming it in South
Central. Based on the book by Walter
Mosley, director Carl Franklin’s neo-noir
thriller stands out as one of the best films
of the 1990s.
Sunday, November 29 / 16:00 hrs.
The Long Goodbye
Robert Altman delivers a brilliant remake
of the classic story by Raymond Chandler,
master of Los Angeles crime fiction. Set in
a distinctly 1970s L.A., The Long Goodbye
stars the inimitable Elliot Gould, who
provides a wholly original take on the Philip
Marlowe character—droll, eccentric, and
obsessed with his cat.
Tuesday, December 1 / 21:00 hrs.
L.A. Story
Written by Steve Martin, L.A. Story
hilariously skewers Los Angeles and its
residents, taking playful aim at Southern
California culture and its trendy restaurants,
health crazes, earthquakes, and even the
weather, while also offering one of the
most memorable romantic comedies of the
1990s.
L.A. Confidential
Set in 1950s Los Angeles, Curtis Hanson’s
award-winning, character-driven caper
centers on three decidedly different
detectives: Ed Exley (Guy Pearce), who’s
outward integrity hides cunning ambition;
the short-fused Bud White (Russell Crowe)
who yearns to prove he has brains, not
just brawn; and Jack Vincennes (Kevin
Spacey), a jaded narcotics officer with
a sideline gig as an advisor to a TV cop
show, and a dubious partnership with the
sleazy editor (Danny DeVito) of a tabloid
scandal rag. Based on the novel by James
Ellroy, L.A. Confidential was nominated for
multiple Academy Awards, and garnered
two Oscars: Best Actress in Supporting
Role to Kim Bassinger, and Best Adapted
Screenplay to co-writers Brian Helgeland
and Curtis Hanson

Gods and Monsters
Ian McKellen gives a brilliant performance
as filmmaker James Whale, best known
as the director of Frankenstein (1931),
The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and The
Invisible Man (1933). Set in 1957, the story
begins with an elderly Whale recovering
from a stroke and haunted by memories
of his painful childhood in England, the
trenches of WWI, and his once-illustrious
Hollywood career.
Saturday, December 5 / 20:45 hrs.
Collateral
Originally scripted to take place in New
York City, Michael Mann’s stylish, intimate
thriller only assumed its suspenseful
ambience of the urban space as foreboding
wilderness when the director insisted on
relocating to Los Angeles. Orderly cab
driver Max (Jamie Foxx) is taken for a ride
by a charismatic hit man (Tom Cruise), who
must kill five targets around town before
sunrise.
Saturday, December 5 / 16:00 hrs.
The Player
With its dead-on dissection of film industry
clichés, Robert Altman’s brilliant tale about
a Hollywood player who’ll do anything to
stay on top features a first rate cast headed
by Tim Robbins, and a hilarious parade of
Hollywood celebrity cameos.

In Search of a Midnight Kiss
Winner of the John Cassavettes Award
(Best Film under $500,000) at Film
Independent’s 2009 Spirit Awards, this
romantic comedy is a love letter to
Los Angeles written from the heart of a
transplant (the principals are Texas natives).
Down on his luck screenwriter Wilson is a
“misanthrope looking for a misanthrope” to
spend New Year’s Eve with. When barbtongued, gleefully anti-intellectual Vivian
responds to his Craigslist ad, Wilson finds
himself simultaneously challenged and
intrigued by the one person in L.A. more
jaded than him.

Cabañas 8, Plaza Tapatía
Born in East L.A.
After being swept up in a raid on a
downtown factory by a crooked immigration
officer, Rudy Robles is accused of being an
illegal alien and, with no way to prove he
was born and raised in Los Angeles, quickly
finds himself deported to Mexico. In his
first film without longtime partner Tommy
Chong, Cheech Marin, who wrote, directed,
and stars in this cross-cultural comedy,
gives us a hilariously fractured look at life
on both sides of the border.
Tuesday, December 1
Director Cheech Marin / 17:00 hrs.
Chinatown
Jack Nicholson stars as J.J. “Jake”
Gittes, a former cop turned sleazy private
investigator, living off the seedy morality
that lies beneath the haze of 1930s
Los Angeles. Masterfully directed by
Roman Polanski, beautifully shot by John
Alonzo, and featuring an Academy Awardwinning script by Robert Towne, Polanski’s
Chinatown remains a neo-noir classic, and
one of the best films from Hollywood’s last
great decade.
The Cool School
Do you think New York dismisses
Los Angeles’ art scene today? The ‘50s
were worse. Enter Walter Hopps and Ed
Kienholz, who in 1957 pledged to open
L.A.’s premiere modern art venue, Ferus
Gallery. Morgan Neville’s detailed profile
of these Venice Beach beats turned art
luminaries interviews the whole gang,
providing unique insight into this incredible
movement in American art.
Los Angeles Plays Itself
Like the Hollywood sign which towers
above the city—both literally and
metaphorically—the city of Los Angeles has
often been overshadowed by Hollywood—
the industry. As Thom Andersen points
out in his brilliant, acerbic, and highly
entertaining film essay, Los Angeles Plays
Itself, the film industry based here hasn’t
always portrayed the city fairly or accurately
(culturally, geographically, and otherwise).
But Andersen, a native Angelino, knows
better. The resulting film is a must-see
for anyone who cares about the city of
Los Angeles and how it is represented on
celluloid.
Repo Man
Hilarious and subversive, Repo Man
appeared as welcome relief from the
blandness of the Reagan era, taking aim
at everything from televangelists and
Scientology to suburban punk culture.
Emilio Estevez plays anti-hero Otto, a
disaffected drop-out who quits his job,
loses his girlfriend, and wanders the hazy
post-modern wasteland of a decaying
Los Angeles until he’s recruited by crank
sniffing Bud (Harry Dean Stanton), into the
life of professional car repossessionist.
Mulholland Dr.
In this “love story in the city of dreams”
(to quote the film’s tagline), director David
Lynch casts a spotlight on Hollywood
ambition and desperation through a prism
of Hollywood optimism and glamour.
Or is it the other way around? Like a prism,
Lynch’s dream-logic narrative casts plot,
character, and theme wildly and colorfully
askew.
