UCLA First Thursdays: “Friendsgiving”

Come celebrate with your community at this month’s “Friendsgiving”-themed First Thursday event!

A QR code will also be available for those wishing to give a monetary donation.

Can’t Get That Monster Out of My Mind: Joan Didion and Cinema

Throughout November, experience Joan Didion through the films that defined her life. From a John Wayne classic to an adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play, enjoy five different film screenings that all bear the mark of Joan Didion’s influence. Whether Didion is credited for the screenplay, or the film is marked as her favorite, these various films find their commonality in their relationship to Didion. This film series coincides with the Hammer’s ongoing exhibition Joan Didion: What She Means and is copresented by the Hammer and the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Admission is free.

 NOVEMBER 6 | 3 P.M. 

Spinning, Spinning, Turning, Directing: A Portrait of Bob Thompson

The enduring influence of Bob Thompson’s powerful art continues to transcend generations and spark conversations.

Tigran Hamasyan

Armenian American pianist Tigran Hamasyan is one of the most distinctive virtuosi of his generation, fusing jazz improvisation with a wide array of folk influences from his native Armenia. Described as a “musical omnivore,” Hamasyan thrives when inspired by a variety of styles – from rock to classical to the subject of his latest album: the classic American songbook. In his newest album, StandArt, Hamasyan brings his improvisational chops to deconstructed takes on old favorites, participating in American musical traditions while at the same time challenging familiar categories. 


 NOVEMBER 19 | TBD 

Football: UCLA vs. USC

Mark your calendar in anticipation of the hugely anticipated Bruin football game against our crosstown rivals — the USC Trojans. Bond with fellow Bruins at the Rose Bowl and rally behind the team as UCLA strives to secure the Victory Bell for the second straight year.
