‘Third Act’ at Monica Film Center Through Oct. 2

“Third Act,” a documentary by Tadashi Nakamura, is playing at the Monica Film Center, 1332 2nd St. in Santa Monica, from Friday, Sept. 26, to Thursday, Oct. 2.

Generations of artists call the late Robert A. Nakamura “the godfather of Asian American media,” but filmmaker Tadashi Nakamura called him Dad. What begins as a documentary about his father’s career takes a turn with a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, and evolves into an exploration on art, activism, grief, and fatherhood.

Showtimes: 1:20, 4:30 and 7:10 p.m. Note: Sept. 26 at 7:10 p.m. and Sept. 27 at 1:20 and 4:20 p.m. are sold out.
