Film Screening: Smog
Thursday June 13, 2013
7 pm
Harold M. Williams Auditorium, Getty Center


The laconic and moody Smog (1962, 35mm, 88 min) is a little-known film from director Franco Rossi that presents a compelling outsider's perspective, following Italian attorney Vittorio Ciocchetti (Enrico Maria Salerno) through two days in the City of Angels, from LAX airport and Pierre Koenig's Stahl House (both newly built) to the oil wells of Culver City. Complements the exhibition Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940–1990.

Saturdays Off the 405: Pickwick
Saturday July 13, 2013
6 pm - 9 pm
Museum Courtyard, Getty Center


With a smooth neo-soul sound, Pickwick has matured beyond their folksy Americana roots. The passionate vocals of lead singer Galen Disston becomes incendiary when paired with anxious guitars that evoke Television and T. Rex. Their new album, Can't Talk Medicine, was recorded in a living room, giving it a raw urgency that lingers long after the tracks are over.
