Members-Only 2025 Academy Awards® Nominated Screening Showcase—Porcelain War and Conversation with Slava Leontyev and Paula Dupre

FILM at LACMA presents classic and contemporary narrative and documentary films, artists and their influences, emerging auteurs, international showcases, special guest-curated programs, and conversations with artists and special guests.

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a members-only screening of Porcelain War, followed by a conversation with director Slava Leontyev and writer and producer Paula Dupre.

Under roaring fighter jets, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although it's easy to make people afraid, it's hard to destroy their passion for living.

Porcelain War is nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature.

Watch the official trailer.

You will receive a link to view the film and the post-screening conversation on the event date.

This screening is hosted by Slipstream, a LACMA-approved third-party screening platform. If you have not previously registered with Slipstream, you will be asked to provide a valid email address and set a password to create an account.
