DESCRIPTION:The UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture \nand the \n19th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival\npresent the West Coast premiere of\nLAST BREATH (LE DERNIER SOUFFLE)\nDirected by Costa-Gavras \nFollowed by a conversation with Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras \nSaturday\, May 31\, 2025\n6:30 p.m. \nUCLA James Bridges Theater\n235 Charles E. Young Drive East\n1409 Melnitz Hall\nLos Angeles\, CA 90095\nReception to follow\nGeneral Admission – $20 + fee\nBuy tickets \nAbout the film:\nIn a kind of philosophical dialogue\, Doctor Augustin Masset and renowned writer Fabrice Toussaint discuss life and death… A whirlwind of encounters in which the doctor is the guide and the writer\, his passenger led to confront his own fears and anxieties… A poetic ballet\, where each patient is a tome of emotions\, laughter and tears… A journey to the throbbing heart of our lives. \nAbout the director:\nAcademy Award and Palme d’Or-winner\, President of the Cinémathèque Française\, and a master of both activist and idealist cinema\, Costa-Gavras has pushed the filmmaking boundaries since the 1960s; from redefining crime noir\, to tackling difficult transnational subjects\, to continually engaging audiences by presenting universal themes in a singular way. \nFollowing the screening\, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone will sit down with Costa-Gavras in an extended conversation. Both critically acclaimed political and social master storytellers\, Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras have used their compelling and powerful art to create conversation starters influenced by living histories and personal experiences. Oliver Stone has said\, “Truth is the greatest treasure a Socratic soul can attain in this lifetime”; and Costa-Gavras\, “It’s important not to describe the character of the situation\, but… the ethical meaning… the ethic of truthfulness is something very precise.” From SALVADOR and MISSING\, PLATOON and SHOCK TROOPS\, JFK and Z\, NATURAL BORN KILLERS and MAD CITY\, U-TURN and SLEEPING CAR MURDERS\, WALL STREET and CAPITAL\, THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES and THE COSTA-GAVRAS CENTURY\, to name very few\, Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras have repeatedly led audiences on daring visual journeys to witness humanity\, question the narrative\, and search for an independent sense of truth. Held in partnership with the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival\, and part of the LAGFF Costa-Gavras multi-event Tribute\, we are honored to co-present this once-in-a-lifetime live conversation between Oliver Stone and Costa-Gavras that is not to be missed! \nThe 19th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival runs May 27 – June 1\, 2025.

Under the guise of offering protection and education\, the Greek government enticed parents to surrender their children to a system of Childcare Cities that served as indoctrination mills that oftentimes alienated their wards from their own families. In her riveting\, visually striking adaptation of the memoir of Greek writer Giannis Atzakas\, writer-director Eleni Alexandrakis tells the searing story of Giannis and his experience growing up in these harsh institutions all the while unable to shake the memory of his rebel father and his longing for – and aversion to – a reunion. \nDCP\, b/w\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 90 min.
