Elia Suleiman's CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE (1996) — co-presented by Mizna is at Philosophical Research Society, Los Angeles, on Nov 19, 2026, 7:30 PM. Tickets: $17.59.
Elia Suleiman's first feature, Chronicle of a Disappearance, comes to the Philosophical Research Society on Thursday, November 19, 2026. The 1996 film is described by the listing as a wildly inventive, absurdly hilarious and deeply poignant portrait of Palestinian life. Mizna, the arts organization, co-presents the evening.
When: Thursday, November 19, 2026, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Where: Philosophical Research Society, 3910 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Price: $17.59
What to expect
Suleiman is known for a deadpan style that builds a story out of small, observed moments instead of a conventional plot. His debut set that tone early: a series of loosely linked scenes that find dry comedy and quiet sadness in everyday routines. If you have seen his later films, this is where that approach starts. If you have not, it is a good place to begin.
The listing gives the screening window as 7:30 to 9:00 PM. It does not name a speaker or a post-film discussion, so go for the film itself and treat anything more as a bonus. Check the ticket page before you leave the house in case the schedule shifts.
The venue
The Philosophical Research Society sits on Los Feliz Boulevard, on the edge of Griffith Park. Manly P. Hall founded it in 1934 as an institution for practical and profound wisdom, and it runs courses and events on its campus. A film night here feels different from a multiplex showing. It suits a movie that rewards patience and close attention.
Planning your night
Tickets are sold through the AllEvents listing at $17.59. Buy ahead, since a small campus venue will have limited seating. Arrive a little early to settle in before the 7:30 PM start. The source does not cover parking or age limits, so confirm those with the venue if they matter to you.
For a midweek plan, this is one of the more distinctive things happening in Los Angeles this month, and a solid pick if you want a film night that is not a blockbuster. Browse more upcoming events Los Angeles has on the calendar and see what pairs well with a screening like this one.
