Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Never Plays Itself
There’s a great documentary film that puts together all the times Los Angeles has played itself in the movies (aptly titled Los Angeles Plays Itself).

Five storytellers will take to the stage, each offering a different perspective during this evening of community and exploration.

Where: SFU Woodward's, 149 West Hastings St.
