Campus Circle

Filmmakers, festival guests and cinema enthusiasts gathered at the Goethe-Institut for a morning of conversation, celebration and a shared appreciation for international filmmaking. GERMAN CURRENTS, the Festival of German Film in Los Angeles, is celebrating its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of bringing German cinema, filmmakers and their stories to the City of Angels.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announced today a permanent, long-term partnership with Erewhon, the Certified B Corporation and Certified Organic retailer, cementing their presence on the museum's vibrant campus. Building on the success of its inaugural pop-up café, Erewhon at LACMA is ready to fuel and inspire the museum’s thousands of daily visitors, as well as Miracle Mile residents and workers.

Photography becomes a powerful way to understand a place when it does more than simply document what is in front of the camera. It can capture a moment in time, reveal a community, challenge the way we see ourselves and preserve histories that might otherwise disappear. These ideas come to life in two new photography exhibitions at The Getty Center, where the visual histories of Mexico and Los Angeles come together.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted a preview for Eileen Cowin: Between Panic and Paradise, a retrospective of the LA-based photographer’s extensive and experimental career. As an artist, Cowin was an active member of the city's experimental photography scene that emerged in the early 1970s and treated photography not as a document of reality, but as something to construct, manipulate and use to build fiction.

The Skirball Cultural Center exhibition, Inventing America: The Comic Book Revolution, offers a vibrant exploration of how comic books have shaped American pop culture. It highlights how these stories provided generations of readers with heroes who reflected their world - and sometimes the world they wanted to become.

The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles is currently hosting three unique exhibitions worth exploring for visitors of all ages. After previewing the exhibits, this first installment takes a closer look at Outsiders, Outcasts, Rebels, and Weirdos: Punk Culture 1976–86. Opening during the 50th anniversary of punk music in the United States, the exhibition explores the connective tissue of punk by tracing influential music scenes across both the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

KCRW Summer Nights is back! From June–September 2026, KCRW is hosting an entire season of FREE, outdoor, all-ages music events with iconic cultural venues across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Each event is programmed with the same taste and point of view that KCRW DJs bring to the airwaves, including some fresh faces joining the roster this year. You’ll encounter music and vibes you might not have found on your own in cultural spaces that lend their own sense of discovery.

GERMAN CURRENTS returns (October 17 - 21) for its 19th edition and brings some of the best new German cinema to audiences in Los Angeles and Southern California. This year’s vibrant selection of films is thought-provoking, tragic, and humorous. Audiences will encounter strong female leads as well as men in search of their own identity.

The Getty Center is pleased to announce the opening of Trellis Bar & Lounge, a relaxed outdoor venue offering a curated menu of handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, wines, and light bites. Located near the Museum’s entrance hall, Trellis Bar & Lounge is open Tuesday through Sunday from 2pm to 6:30pm, with extended hours until 8:30pm on Saturdays. No reservations are required.

After several months of extensive cleanup and recovery, the Getty Villa is back and has launched its new exhibit, The Kingdom of Pylos: Warrior-Princes of Ancient Greece. Showcasing over 230 artifacts from the Mycenaean civilization, it is the first exhibition of its kind in North America and marks nearly a decade of collaboration between American and Greek experts.
