CRITIC’SPICK

This welcome UCLA Film & Television Archive series at the Hammer Museum in Westwood is a chance to revisit at least two splendid films that rarely, if ever, have a chance at the big screen. Playing Saturday at 7:30 p.m. is a restored print of Terence Davies’ haunting “Distant Voices, Still Lives,” a semi-autobiographical story of working-class Liverpool that becomes an unforgettable mixture of song and image. On Tuesday, also at 7:30, is a screening of “Kes,” one of Ken Loach’s earliest films and one of his best, the story of a young boy and his infatuation with a kestrel hawk. The British Film Institute named it one of the 10 greatest British movies of all time, a distinction it deserves.
