The Wild Angels
(1966) Directed by Roger Corman
April 18 - Friday - 6:30 p.m.
When one of their own is shot down by the police, a
chapter of Hells Angels stages a raucous funeral--but
are they countercultural heroes or hopeless degener-
ates? Highly controversial in its day, Roger Corman's
film reversed traditional moral expectations, by setting
its sympathies with the biker gang, and spawned a
prolific cycle of late-1960s biker films. Starring Peter
Fonda, Bruce Dern, Nancy Sinatra, Diane Ladd, and a
supporting cast of real-life Hells Angels. (35mm. 93
min. Rated R.)
Director Roger Corman is scheduled to
be present.
The Trip
(1967) Directed by Roger Corman
April 18 - Friday - 9:30 p.m.
Paul (Peter Fonda) is a disillusioned director of TV com-
mercials introduced to LSD by his friend (Bruce Dern)
and an acid guru (Dennis Hopper). Paul quickly discov-
ers more about himself than he ever thought possible,
and lets loose on the Sunset Strip. Featuring outrageous
psychedelic effects, frenetic editing, and lots of groovy
symbolism, The Trip is one of Roger Corman's most
memorable expeditions into the 1960s counterculture,
reuniting his Wild Angels stars in a script written by Jack
Nicholson. (35mm. 85 min. Not rated.)
Director Roger
Corman is scheduled to be present.

American International Pictures to his 2009
Lifetime Achievement Oscar
®
. Exploring his
cinematic vision at the intersection of art and
commerce, the film profiles Corman's legacy
