Films on the Green 2026 | Los Angeles

Presented by Villa Albertine in honor of the 250th anniversary of French-American relations, this series celebrates cultural exchange and cinematic collaboration between the two countries on the silver screen.

Model Shop
Directed by Jacques Demy
1969, PG, 1h37, USA
Starring Anouk Aimée, Gary Lockwood, Alexandra Hay

Gary Lockwood plays shiftless but innocuous George Matthews, who can’t seem to get himself worked up about anything: the girlfriend he is about to lose, his soon-to-be repossessed car or even his draft notice. Until one day, he sees a beautiful but detached model (Anouk Aimée), and he begins to follow her. From Malibu Beach to Beverly Hills mansions to Santa Monica Boulevard’s cheap strip joints, Los Angeles is critically examined…
French New Wave director Jacques Demy reunites with French star Anouk Aimée (their first pairing, 1961’s ‘Lola’) to direct his first film in America.

Film in English. 

The screening will be preceded by a special DJ set. Foodtrucks available on site.
