**25th anniversary screening**, followed by a **Q&A with actress Saffron Burrows**. **Doors:** 7:00 PM • **Film:** 7:30 PM One of the boldest experiments ever released by a major film studio, maverick filmmaker **Mike Figgis** turned heads with this split-screen thriller, starring an incredible cast of A-list actors and taking place entirely in real time as four continuous 98-minute DV takes unfold on screen. On Sunset Blvd., on the stretch between Book Soup and Dialog Café, Figgis follows a group of Hollywood executives, actors, and spouses (Salma Hayek, Stellan Skarsgård, Saffron Burrows, Holly Hunter, Kyle MacLachlan, and many others) ahead of a major pitch meeting, as adulteries and other overlapping dramas ensue in each of their personal lives. With its improvised dialogue and elaborate structural gambit, *Timecode* is a relic of the turn-of-the-millennium digital boom—at the height of the crossover between the American independent and commercial film industries—and an emblem of an era when anything felt possible. *“What is the purpose of the experiment? Above all, to show it can be done… Mike Figgis is a man who lives and breathes the cinema.”* — Roger Ebert *“An impressive stunt… surprisingly breezy to watch.”* — Dave Kehr
