LACMA Cancels Film Series, Plans Reevaluation


Old news by a couple days, but the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has stirred up a storm (perhaps quite purposefully) in disbanding its film program, the various travesties of which L.A. Observed's Cari Beauchamp more than adequately and persuasively dissects here. The chief culprit is the same felling a lot of other industry programs, series and satellite businesses, according to LACMA CEO and Director Michael Govan (and it rhymes with honey, don'tcha know), but there is something particularly dispiriting about the prospect of film no longer having an anchored presence at the flagship art museum of the entertainment industry's capital. To that end, there's a blog site up to help save the program, as well as an online petition and even a Twitter page. Act accordingly, if so moved.
