Going Places

Cinefamily

611 N. Fairfax, Los Angeles, CA

7:30pm

Few French films in the ’70s caused more of a ruckus than this hilarious smack in the face to the establishment, featuring Gerard Depardieu and the late Patrick Dewaere as a pair of charismatic, animalistic drifters stealing and screwing their way across the French countryside. Adapted from his own novel by Bertrand Blier, this landmark assault on bourgeois materialism provides Blier’s signature off-kilter whimsy at every unexpected turn, as the anarchic attached-at-the-hip duo do the Kerouac-ian shake, aided by three of France’s most amazing actresses of any era: Miou-Miou, Isabelle Hupert and Jeanne Moreau, who caps her role with a scene that still potently shocks forty years on. Just as seismic as the film’s attitude towards middle-class morality is its impossibly cool editing rhythms — throughout, we pop in and out of emotional and physical transitions as seismically as Lawrence of Arabia’s blowing-out-a-match-becomes-the-sunrise. Silly, sad, vicious, and tender, this is Blier at his finest, best seen with an audience courtesy of this 35mm print flown in directly from France!

Dir. Bertrand Blier, 1974, 35mm, 113 min.

Egyptian Theatre

6712 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028

7:30pm

Julien Temple's bizarre and hilarious fictional documentary charts the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols through the eyes of its calculating manager. Mixing animation and live footage of some of the Pistols' most electrifying performances, the film presents the band's success as an elaborate scam perpetrated by McLaren to make "a million pounds" at the expense of record companies, outraged moralists, the British royal family, and even the fans and band members themselves.

Spend part of your summer at The Second City Hollywood where you can work out your creative energies in our youth boot camp, make new friends and learning new skills, all while having loads of fun and laughs. The Second City has launched the careers of countless actors, writers, directors and producers, and has influenced American comedy like no other theatre. Our summer program attracts students from all over the country and abroad.

Camp will take place Monday through Friday 10:30am-4:30pm. Each day, you will rotate through Improvisation, Sketch Comedy and Musical Improvisation. All students are welcome and no previous experience is needed. At the end of the third week, invite your friends and family to a free show where you will show off your new improv, singing and sketch skills.

Camp is broken into three sections each day:

Improvisation: Explore the fundamentals of improvisation as taught and performed at The Second City. Develop skills like creative thinking, self-confidence, listening, brainstorming, team building, empathy and communication while having loads of fun and laughs.
Sketch Comedy: Learn the basics of sketch comedy scenes, the building block of any Second City show. You’ll study classic Second City scenes, use improvisation to develop scenes and write original sketches.
Musical Improvisation: An introduction to musical games and techniques. The class introduces students to vocal performance, production, and projection for the actor/improviser; the basics of comedic songwriting; and the fundamental concepts of musical improvisation. No singing experience is required. This is often the subject most feared at the start of camp and most loved by the end.
