DESCRIPTION:Reality Frictions is a film essay that explores the intersectio
 ns of fact and fiction on the screens of Hollywood\, highlighting moments 
 when images\, people\, or events from the real world intrude on the cinema
 tic one. Richly illustrated with clips from more than 100 movies and TV sh
 ows\, Reality Frictions is an entertaining but also serious investigation 
 of media's role in revealing truth and making history\, set against the hi
 storical backdrop of the current fascination with machine learning and gen
 erative AI. In an age defined by anxieties about our ability to tell real 
 from fake\, Reality Frictions demonstrates that spectators have long trave
 rsed the boundaries of believability\, developing nuanced skills for navig
 ating the pleasures and paradoxes that emerge when reality and fiction col
 lide. Director Dr. Steve Anderson of UCLA's School of Theater\, Film and T
 elevision will be attending for a Q&A after the film.
