Los Angeles Plays Itself (CTBA)

This event has already taken place and ended on 17 May 2009

A fascinating video essay by Thom Anderson about how movies have portrayed the city of Los Angeles. Superb in its breadth and cogently argued, it weaves together footage from dozens of films made in or about the city, as Anderson gradually builds his thesis about how Hollywood has represented and misrepresented its home city.
