June's free family movie at the Hammer Museum is a very different kind of movie.  See a brief preview of the movie at:  http://hammer.ucla.edu/programs/detail/program_id/855

While in Westwood, consider walking over to UCLA to see Fowler Museum - which is free everyday - and see its new exhibit on Tongva maritime travel traditions off the coast of Southern California and photos of Tongva watercraft.   More at: http://www.fowler.ucla.edu/exhibitions/launching-a-dream
 
June 5–September 18, 2011

Powerful images by photographers Frank Magallanes and Althea Edwards witness the rebirth of ancient maritime traditions of the Southern California coastal and Channel Islands first peoples. Plank-sewn watercraft, the Tongva ti'at and Chumash tomol, once again regularly cut through local ocean waters. This series of photographs offers an intimate view of the construction, launching, and communal celebration of these unique and important vessels. Envisioned by tribal members as key symbols of native identity and cultural resurgence, they literally represent the realization of a dream.

 Meanwhile, Hammer Museum is free every Thursday.
