Exclusive In-Person Member Screening: Academy Award®-Contenders Series—Hedda and Post-Screening Conversation

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special in-person screening of Hedda, followed by a conversation with writer, director, and producer Nia DaCosta, and featured actor and producer Tessa Thompson.

A provocative reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, Hedda follows enigmatic newlywed Hedda (Tessa Thompson), who is outwardly composed but hiding a simmering discontent that threatens to explode when the brilliant and charismatic Eileen Lovborg (Nina Hoss) reenters her life. Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, Hedda is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman’s refusal to be confined.

Hedda stars Tessa Thompson, Nina Hoss, Tom Bateman, Eve Hewson, and Imogen Poots.

This in-person screening will take place at an off-site theater. Location details will be shared in the email invitation. Capacity is limited and reservations are required.
