The Los Angeles premiere of Bella Vista, Vera Brunner-Sung’s first narrative feature, is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Spielberg at the Egyptian Theatre. Brunner-Sung, whose Common Ground screened at Filmforum in 2009, is best known for her experimental nonfiction. That makes Bella Vista a departure for the filmmaker now residing in Montana, which serves as the setting for her film about an itinerant teacher and her new students. Both Brunner-Sung and producer Jeri Rafter will be on hand for the occasion, which you can read more about at lafilmforum.org.

Sun., Jan. 18, 7:30-9 p.m., 2015
