The Film Society has been beating the heat with a full slate of Free Talks all summer. We are looking back at our favorite moments from three of these special events: a talk with director Joe Berlinger and motivational speaker Tony Robbins about the documentary Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru, which follows the life of the titular subject; a Master Class with video game director Sam Barlow, co-hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, with a focus on Barlow’s video game Her Story; and two free screenplay readings, co-presented with the Writers Guild of America, East.

Slide through these photos of directors and actors discussing their latest work and reflecting on their careers, influences, and approaches to filmmaking.
