A
monthly series with Jonathan Demme, one of America’s
most creative, idiosyncratic and beloved filmmakers. Join
him as he takes us on a cinematic ride through the strange,
the
wild, the outrageous and the forgotten - films that he has
been looking to re-encounter on the big screen where he first
saw them, but are now nearly impossible to find. We'll follow
each screening with a discussion led by Demme.
The Profound Desire of the Gods Sun. May 4 (rescheduled from Apr.27)
