This weekend, LACMA members have the chance to preview Senses of Time: Video and Film-Based Works of Africa on Saturday at 10 am. The exhibition features five African artists whose work explores the constructs of time—its experience and production in the body. All six works of art confront linear time, both its ritual and technological aspects, inviting viewers to question their relationship to time. Sense of Timeopens on Sunday on the third floor of the Hammer Building.

In a new members-only lecture series, Portrait, participants have the chance to learn in-depth about one artist from the museum's collection. Saturday's inaugural Portrait lecture features the work and life of Pablo Picasso. Join the discussion at 9:30 am in the Bing Theater.

Also on Saturday, LACMA is presenting a sold-out double feature of Stanley Kramer's Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) and Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight (2015). Mad, Mad, Mad World tells the story of a small-town police chief on the verge of solving a twenty-year-old theft case. During his search, he is joined by nearly the entire 1963 membership of the Screen Actors Guild, many of whom are connected to the thief. Premiering that evening, The Hateful Eight, Tarantino's latest film, employs his signature blend of tension and humor to tell a post-Civil war tale of soldiers, renegades, and malcontents. This screening will be shown in its rare roadshow presentation, including a ten-minute intermission.

Sundays Live brings the duo Double Sharp, Russian-born pianists Natasha Marin and Maria Demina. Double Sharp played for Sundays Live for the first time in 2008 and went on to receive the Grand Prize at the Piano Regional Duo Competition. For their return to Sundays Live, the duo will perform Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite at 6 pm in the Bing Theater.

Tours this weekend include Art of Japan on Friday at 2 pm, Frank Gehry on Saturday at 11 am, and New Objectivity: Modern German Art in the Weimar Republic, 1919–1933 on Sunday at 11 am.
