SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
Director Glenne McElhinney offers an illuminating historical account of
early gay life and activism in Los Angeles, as told by the people who lived
it. The film brings to light the city’s hidden gay history by interweaving
first-person accounts from the 1950s to the early 1980s with narration and
unprecedented access to archival materials.
THE STUDIO FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HISTORY
Inventing L.A.: The Chandlers and Their Times
Inventing L.A. follows Los Angeles Times publishers Harrison Gray Otis,
Harry Chandler, Norman Chandler, and Otis Chandler. Director Peter Jones
says, “The film chronicles the ambitious, ruthless, ingenious, and often selfserving methods by which each man employed the newspaper to help turn a
town of 12,000...into a...sprawl of 4 million people.”
