The Egyptian Theatre is thrilled to announce the final two events in 2025 for its monthly screening series with the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

For this year’s edition of the series, we’ve celebrated LAFCA’s 50th anniversary. Each film selected for the series in 2025 represents a unique choice made by the organization at its annual vote over the past 50 years. LAFCA has often chosen to highlight excellent titles that stand apart from the preordained front-runners of awards season.

Our last two 2025 events will celebrate LAFCA’s two most recent winners of its Career Achievement Award.

On Monday, November 10, LAFCA and the Egyptian Theatre will welcome filmmaker Philip Kaufman, recently announced recipient of LAFCA’s 2026 Career Achievement Award, for a screening of his 1978 reimagining of the sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers, starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, and Leonard Nimoy. Kaufman will appear in conversation with LAFCA President Robert Abele.

On Thursday, December 4, we’ll conclude this year’s series with LAFCA’s 2025 Career Achievement Award recipient, John Carpenter. Carpenter will join LAFCA member and Los Angeles Times film critic Amy Nicholson for a discussion prior to a 35mm screening of Escape from L.A., Carpenter’s 1996 follow-up to Escape from New York, in which Kurt Russell reprises his role as Snake Plissken.

Tickets for Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Escape from L.A. are on sale now.
