Starts Nov 8
Monica Film Center
$
*Director Lily Zepeda and star Jack Sim will be present for Q&A’s on Friday (11/8) & Saturday (11/9) following the 7:20 pm show at the Monica Film Center.
To strangers, he’s an eccentric Singaporean obsessed with toilets, but to those who know him, he’s “Mr. Toilet.” A former entrepreneur, Jack Sim uses humor to campaign for something no one dares talk about: shit. It’s a crisis that impacts over two billion people. Having established UN World Toilet Day, Sim plunges into his biggest challenge yet when asked to help implement Prime Minister Modi's promise of turning India into a defecation-free zone. But with few resources and no real help from the government, Mr. Toilet discovers there is a price to pay for being the world’s #2 hero.

A video game-loving shut-in, Satou Kazuma’s life should’ve ended when he was hit by a truck, but through a twist of fate, he ends up reincarnating in another world--and dragging the troublemaking goddess, Aqua, the wildly dorky mage, Megumin, and the unrelentingly delusional lady knight, Darkness, with him.
Now, the Crimson Demon village that Megumin and Yunyun are from is facing a threat that could mean its ending. Kazuma and his gang follow Yunyun, who returns to the Crimson Demon village intent on saving it... when they are faced with their greatest threat yet! What will become of the unremarkable adventurer Kazuma’s life in another world?!

A recent gift to LACMA, 348 West 22nd Street (2011–15) replicates the artist’s ground-floor residence from a single New York building. Created in luminous swaths of translucent polyester, the dreamlike rooms and hallways are supported by a stainless steel frame. In this immersive passageway of conjoined rooms, visitors pass through an ephemeral representation of the artist’s personal history. The corridor, stairs, apartment, and studio are each rendered in a single block of color, with fixtures and appliances replicated in exacting detail. Fusing traditional Korean sewing techniques with digital mapping tools, the maze-like installation of 348 West 22nd Street balances intricate construction with delicate monumentality.
