The Orange County Film Society, in affiliation with the Newport Beach Film Festival, is screening two films next week that urban planners may find tantalizing:
8p,Wed., Oct 28
Documenting the City: Beijing
$10 online, Regency South Coast [map below]
Films, including documentaries, have done much to shape American and Chinese perceptions of each other. Beginning in 2006, USC and Beijing’s Communication University of China launched a program to have student filmmakers collaborate in exploring Los Angeles and Beijing. Each summer since seven students from one school have traveled to the other school and spent summer working with their counterparts to produce short documentaries on Los Angeles and Beijing as global cities. See samples of these films as USC professors Mark Jonathan Harris and Johanna Demetrakas and their students from USC present and comment the work following the screening.

Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner

In conjunction with The Moving Image: Scan to Screen, Pixel to Projection and H-Box, the Orange County Film Society is screening films about art, architecture, and design. This film traces the lifelong quest of visionary genius John Lautner to create "architecture that has no beginning and no end." His life was marked by innovation and inspiration, and finally monumental achievement.
