A personal, heartrending chronicle of the fires that devastated Los Angeles, including the filmmaker's own Altadena house.
About this Event

In January 2025, filmmaker Ondi Timoner was overseas when the L.A. Fires of 2025 tore through her Altadena home, destroying everything—decades of archival footage, personal journals, equipment, and irreplaceable family memories. The first film ever made about thesefires, ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN is an intimate short documentary that captures the aftermath of that loss and expands into a larger story of displacement, resilience, and the fight to save the town.

As Timoner returns to recover what remains, she turns her lens outward—toward neighbors, many from long-established Black, Latino, and other communities of color who have called Altadena home for generations. These families now face not only the trauma of destruction, but increasing pressure from mortgage lenders, insurance companies, and opportunistic developers pushing them toward foreclosure or forced sales.

What begins as a personal reckoning becomes a powerful portrait of a community under siege. A story of rupture and renewal, ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN reveals what remains when the physical structures of life disappear—and the healing that can happen through the power of connection with community, as Ondi, her family and neighbors fight to preserve not just homes, but history, identity, and belonging.
