We have a veritable feast of actor and filmmaker personal appearances this weekend at New Plaza Cinema\u2019s screen at Macaulay Honors College.<\/p>\n
Legendary actress Jacqueline Bisset — seen over the years at New Plaza Cinema venues in\u00a0Two For the Road<\/em>\u00a0and Truffaut\u2019s\u00a0Day for Night\u00a0<\/em>— will join us for a Q&A after Saturday\u2019s 12:15 show of her new film\u00a0Loren and Rose<\/strong><\/em>, in which she plays an iconic actress whose series of encounters\u00a0with an ambitious young filmmaker evolve into a moving series of life lessons and artistic epiphanies for each of them.<\/p>\n Many Americans remember all too well the 2003 lead up to and tragic decade-plus consequences of the invasion of Iraq. The 2014 documentary\u00a0We Are Many\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is having a “return engagement” around the country, which New Plaza Cinema was invited to join.\u00a0Watching once again this week the passionate arc of protest — led here by Susan Sarandon, Mark Rylance, and John le Carre — which accompanied the “shock and awe”\u00a0campaign of America and its allies, I had to wonder “what have we learned?”\u00a0and “could this ever happen again?”\u00a0The doc\u2019s filmmakers Amir Amirani and Wael Kabbani will appear after Friday’s evening’s screening to engage us on those ever-relevant questions.<\/p>\n Another sliver of NYC history that many of us readily recall is the raucous explosion of the downtown art scene in the late 1970s and 80s. The recent documentary\u00a0Make Me Famous\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>dives into the story of Detroit-born Edward Brezinski,\u00a0charismatic Lower East Side painter who thwarted his career with antics that roiled the city’s art elite.\u00a0The film also investigates his subsequent,\u00a0mysterious death on the Cote d’Azur.\u00a0Director Brian Vincent and writer-producer Heather Spore will join us after both the Saturday and Sunday afternoon shows.<\/p>\n This weekend we\u2019ll also continue with our holdover hits\u00a0Close to Vermeer, The Night of the 12th, Persian Lessons, Chile \u201876<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and\u00a0Master Gardener<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n Many New Plaza Cinema patrons have asked if we\u2019re planning any further screenings of\u00a0Turn Every Page<\/em>, following last week\u2019s passing of Robert Gottlieb. The answer is “yes”\u00a0over the upcoming holiday weekend, with some possible “special accompaniment.”<\/p>\n Stay tuned.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have a veritable feast of actor and filmmaker personal appearances this weekend at New Plaza Cinema\u2019s screen at Macaulay Honors College.
