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 awards ceremony through its fifty year history. LAFCA’s Awards have often chosen to highlight excellent titles that stand apart from the pre-ordained champions of award season.

Our January selection is a prime example of this originality: 2021’s Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar marked the second screenwriting collaboration between Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo following their Academy Award nomination for Bridesmaids. The completely bonkers comic vision, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper) and starring Wiig and Mumolo in the lead roles, found its offbeat whimsicality perfectly matched by Steve Saklad’s colorful production design. LAFCA awarded the film Best Production Design in 2021.

On January 30th, LAFCA members Katie Walsh and Jen Yamato will present the film, and the screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Josh Greenbaum, actor Annie Mumolo, and production designer Steve Saklad. 

We look forward to sharing many more surprises for this series in 2025! Be sure to sign up for our Egyptian newsletter to be the first to know when tickets are on sale!
