Aardman Animation’s beloved duo of clueless inventor Wallace and his wise\, world-weary dog companion Gromit first took the world by storm in this trio of sweetly absurd Oscar-winning shorts by visionary animator Nick Park.

SUMMARY:My Brothers Wedding at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:My Brothers Wedding \nDirected by Charles Burnett \nSunday\, October 4\, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members | Free for students with I.D. \n“My Brother’s Wedding is the quintessential example of Burnett’s status as a premiere intergenerational storyteller.”—Robert Daniels\, RogerEbert.com \nSouth Central LA\, the early 1980s. Pierce Mundy (Everett Silas) is always on the move without ever really getting anywhere – kept busy by his parents\, their dry cleaning shop\, friends and neighbors. His childhood buddies are all in prison or dead and his best friend Soldier (Ronnie Bell) is just getting out of jail. Pierce’s brother Wendell (Monte Easter)\, on the other hand\, is an up-and-coming lawyer set to marry an upper-middle-class woman (Gaye Shannon-Burnett). Pierce is entirely lacking in ambition\, to the consternation of his Bible-thumping mother (Jessie Holmes)\, and yet he is an integral part of life in the neighborhood. When Soldier is killed in a car accident\, Pierce’s conflicting obligations to family and friends manifest in the choice between his brother’s wedding and his best friend’s funeral\, both falling on the same day. \nCharles Burnett’s second feature after Killer of Sheep is a tragicomic classic of New Black Cinema in which lived realities are shown in even the smallest of supporting roles\, complex and attentive. Pierce’s wanderings reveal a portrait of a young man and a community defined in equal measure by stagnation\, resignation\, resistance and joie de vivre. 1983\, U.S.\, DCP\, 81 minutes. Recommended for 16+. \nDigitally restored and remastered by Milestone Films in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. A Milestone Films release.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler\nDirected by David Bickerstaff \nSunday\, October 4\, 12:30 pm CINEMA + | BUY TICKETS \n$14 | $10 Speed members \nIn an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art\, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists\, much admired by Vincent Van Gogh and Édouard Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty\, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty\, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music\, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements\,” “harmonies\,” and “nocturnes\,” emphasizing the importance of tonal unity in his work. \nHis most famous painting\, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871)\, commonly known as Whistler’s Mother\, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history\, and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. \nTate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history\, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed. 2027\, U.K. DCP\, 90 minutes. Recommended for 12+ \nCINEMA + with a post-screening opportunity to view a selection of the Speed’s 90+ works by Whistler on paper selected and presented by Kim Spence\, Senior Director of Collections and Curator of Works on Paper

SUMMARY:My Brothers Wedding at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:My Brothers Wedding \nDirected by Charles Burnett \nSaturday\, October 3\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members | Free for students with I.D. \n“My Brother’s Wedding is the quintessential example of Burnett’s status as a premiere intergenerational storyteller.”—Robert Daniels\, RogerEbert.com \nSouth Central LA\, the early 1980s. Pierce Mundy (Everett Silas) is always on the move without ever really getting anywhere – kept busy by his parents\, their dry cleaning shop\, friends and neighbors. His childhood buddies are all in prison or dead and his best friend Soldier (Ronnie Bell) is just getting out of jail. Pierce’s brother Wendell (Monte Easter)\, on the other hand\, is an up-and-coming lawyer set to marry an upper-middle-class woman (Gaye Shannon-Burnett). Pierce is entirely lacking in ambition\, to the consternation of his Bible-thumping mother (Jessie Holmes)\, and yet he is an integral part of life in the neighborhood. When Soldier is killed in a car accident\, Pierce’s conflicting obligations to family and friends manifest in the choice between his brother’s wedding and his best friend’s funeral\, both falling on the same day. \nCharles Burnett’s second feature after Killer of Sheep is a tragicomic classic of New Black Cinema in which lived realities are shown in even the smallest of supporting roles\, complex and attentive. Pierce’s wanderings reveal a portrait of a young man and a community defined in equal measure by stagnation\, resignation\, resistance and joie de vivre. 1983\, U.S.\, DCP\, 81 minutes. Recommended for 16+. \nDigitally restored and remastered by Milestone Films in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. A Milestone Films release.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler\nDirected by David Bickerstaff \nSaturday\, October 3\, 12:30 pm CINEMA + | BUY TICKETS \n$14 | $10 Speed members \nIn an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art\, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists\, much admired by Vincent Van Gogh and Édouard Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty\, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty\, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music\, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements\,” “harmonies\,” and “nocturnes\,” emphasizing the importance of tonal unity in his work. \nHis most famous painting\, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871)\, commonly known as Whistler’s Mother\, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history\, and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. \nTate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history\, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed. 2027\, U.K. DCP\, 90 minutes. Recommended for 12+ \nCINEMA + with a post-screening opportunity to view a selection of the Speed’s 90+ works by Whistler on paper selected and presented by Kim Spence\, Senior Director of Collections and Curator of Works on Paper
