The Egyptian Theatre is proud to continue its monthly screening series with the Los Angeles Film Critics Association in 2025.  
 

This year, LAFCA celebrates its 50th anniversary. To honor this milestone, each film selected for this series in 2025 represents a unique choice made by the organization at its annual vote.  LAFCA has often chosen to highlight excellent titles that stand apart from the preordained front-runners of awards season.
 

On March 26, we’ll welcome a three-time LAFCA award winner to the Egyptian: Brad Bird, who took home LAFCA’s prize for Best Animation for his first three animated feature films as a director: The Iron Giant (1999), The Incredibles (2004) and Ratatouille (2007). Bird’s unparalleled storytelling in the animated space often combines childlike wonder with dazzling action sequences that have enraptured audiences of all ages for decades.

We’ll screen a double feature of The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, with Brad Bird joining us between films for a Q&A moderated by LAFCA member and chief film critic for Variety, Peter Debruge.

7:30 PM: The Iron Giant screens
9:00 PM: Q&A with Brad Bird moderated by Peter Debruge
