LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of Platonic, featuring the first three episodes of season two.

This virtual series presents bold, boundary-crossing films that were part of the 2025 official selection of the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF). These stories explore the richness of Latino culture, life, talent and imagination. Featured titles include La Raya, Stay Still, Trans Los Angeles, and The Unexpecteds. Each film includes a post-screening conversation to give audiences further insight into these groundbreaking narratives.  

This program is co-presented with LALIFF.

Get to know Native Voices, the nation’s premier Native American theater company, at a reading of a newly commissioned work in celebration of LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries. Rooted in memory and place, the performance will weave vivid storytelling with Indigenous cosmologies and the layered histories of the land we inhabit.

Tune in to a sonically inspired series of films documenting the sounds, rhythms, and vibrations that move us to action and change the world, featuring Songs from the Hole and Tony Williams in Africa—films made by, about, and through music with screenings accompanied by live performances and conversations.

Co-presented with Crenshaw Dairy Mart.

Planning to Attend? 

Designed to evoke the type of mid-century cinema where the films that inspired Youssef Nabil’s art were shown, this exhibition showcases the artist’s 2015 video I Saved My Belly Dancer, a recent LACMA acquisition. It also features 11 related photographs that parallel the filmic storyline, along with contemporaneous Egyptian film posters. Like much of Nabil’s work, the subject matter is subtly autobiographical and reflects his longing for the past, one that he lived vicariously through the old movies he watched obsessively on television while growing up in Cairo.
