7th House and El Cine present Olivia & the Clouds, Tomas Pichardo-Espaillat's animated feature debut and only the third animated feature ever made in the Dominican Republic. The film blends hand-drawn animation, clay stop-motion, and rotoscoping into a surreal story of love and heartbreak, part of PRS's month-long folk and fairy tale lecture series.
A quietly mystical Los Feliz compound that feels like you accidentally wandered onto the set of a 1930s occult noir. There’s a library packed with esoteric texts, a courtyard that begs for whispered conversations, and a steady calendar of lectures that swing from genuinely mind-expanding to delightfully unhinged. Come for a talk on alchemy or Jung, stay because the energy is strange in a soothing way. It’s cerebral, eerie, and deeply LA in the most charming sense.
