2023 Academy Award®–Nominated Film Series—Elvis and Post-Screening Conversation with Austin Butler, Baz Luhrmann, and Mandy Walker

FILM at LACMA presents classic and contemporary narrative and documentary films, artists and their influences, emerging auteurs, international showcases, special guest-curated programs, and conversations with artists and special guests. 

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of Elvis and a post-screening conversation with featured talent Austin Butler, director, producer, and co-writer Baz Luhrmann, and cinematographer Mandy Walker.

Luhrmann takes us on the moving journey of a rebel and an icon as America’s cultural landscape evolved over more than 30 years. Elvis celebrates the extraordinary life of a trailblazing artist, the loves and poignant losses he faced as a man, and the timeless music and groundbreaking performances he gave the world. The film explores how Presley’s unprecedented rise to fame was sparked by Svengali Colonel Tom Parker, whose shortcomings were also primarily responsible for the singer’s tragic demise.

You will receive a link to view the film on the event date.
