'Metropolitan' Filmmaker to Visit Images For Screening of Film
 |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Whit Stillman will visit Images Cinema on Dec. 18 for a special screening of his debut feature film, "Metropolitan."
The 1990 indie holiday classic earned Stillman an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay and remains a celebrated work of dialogue-driven comedy.
The event, part of a limited tour by Stillman, begins with a cocktail hour in the Images Cinema Lounge from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, followed by the screening. Executive Director Dan Hudson expressed enthusiasm for Stillman's visit, calling him a standout among 1990s American independent cinema.
"As a child of the American Independent Cinema of the 90s, I'm especially excited to host Whit Stillman," says Dan Hudson, Executive Director. "His work ranks high among the dialogue-driven comedies of the era, and deserves to be remembered in as high esteem as his contemporaries Richard Linklater, Noah Baumbach, and Wes Anderson."
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for students and seniors, and $10 for Images members. Additional details and ticket purchases are available at Images Cinema.
