Aero Theatre | Q&A with filmmaker Thom Andersen

‘This Is Not A Fiction’

Thom Andersen’s landmark documentary explores the tangled relationship between the movies and their fabled hometown – as seen entirely through the films themselves.

From its distinctive neighborhoods to its striking architectural homes, Los Angeles has been the backdrop to countless movies. In this dazzling work, Andersen takes viewers on a whirlwind tour through the metropolis’ real and cinematic history, spanning nearly 100 years, from the silent era to modern times. With extensive research, and an abundance of clips, anecdotes and analysis, he adroitly peels back layers of fiction to reveal the real city and the actual lives of its denizens beneath the glaring lights.
