MOVIES

Griffith in California Director D.W. Griffith not only directed some of the most formative early features in cinema but he also singlehandedly established L.A. as the capital of the industry. This screening will show six of his early films that capture a Los Angeles still nascent in its trip to the head of American entertainment culture. Bonus — they’ll be screened on a hand-cranked projector. Linwood Dunn Theater, 1313 Vine St., Hollywood. 7:30 p.m. https://www.Oscars.org.
